Factors that shape large‐scale gradients in clonality

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 827-837, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Many plant species reproduce clonally. However, ecologists still have much to learn about the factors that shape large‐scale patterns in plant clonal growth and reproduction, especially in the southern hemisphere. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying relationships between reproductive mode and a suite of plant characteristics and

An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Plant diversity ameliorates the evolutionary development of fungicide resistance in an agricultural ecosystem

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 11, Page 2566-2578, November 2021., 2021
The development of fungicide resistance greatly threatens food security and ecological sustainability, and it is urgent need to develop agricultural practices which can ameliorate this problem. Our results show that potato crop with a genetic diversity is associated with a late blight pathogen of higher fungicide sensitivity and lower potential of ...

Herbivory enhances cadmium foraging in the invasive hyperaccumulating plant Phytolacca americana

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological invasions and heavy metal pollution are two pervasive environmental challenges threatening global ecosystems. While the elemental defence hypothesis posits that certain plants accumulate heavy metals to deter herbivores, it remains unclear whether invasive ...

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Quantifying biases in marine‐protected‐area placement relative to abatable threats

Conservation Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 1350-1359, December 2019., 2019
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a critical defense against biodiversity loss in the world's oceans, but to realize near‐term conservation benefits, they must be established where major threats to biodiversity occur and can be mitigated. We quantified the degree to which MPA establishment has targeted stoppable threats (i.e., threats that can

The vesicle trafficking R‐SNARE VAMP714 connects auxin responses, ROS and ion homeostasis in Arabidopsis under salt stress

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 207-227, July 2026.
Network of VAMP714‐dependent interactions during salt stress. Summary Plant responses to salt stress include an altered root architecture mediated by ion imbalances, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and altered hormonal responses. Auxin is implicated in these processes.

The coordination of dehydration tolerance and avoidance in oaks is mediated by leaf habit across a precipitation gradient

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 750-763, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests worldwide are increasingly impacted by drought due to climate change, prompting plants to adapt through dehydration tolerance (DT) and avoidance (DA), two distinct physiological strategies.

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.

Reactive oxygen species act as signaling molecules to control root hair initiation and tip growth

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 2042-2048, September 2025.
Summary Root hairs (RHs) increase the surface area of roots, facilitating nutrient and water uptake and plant anchorage. RHs form from root epidermal cells and elongate by polar tip growth. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have recently been implicated as important signals that drive RH formation and elongation using both genetic and imaging approaches ...
