The Distribution and Quality of Elephant Food Plants in Mwea National Reserve‐Kenya

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how herbivores respond to spatial and temporal resource variability is a central aspect of resource use ecology. This 18‐month study examined how seasonal changes in food plants availability, distribution and nutritional quality influence the foraging behaviour of African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Mwea National ...

Evaluating the African arid corridor hypothesis: A meta‐analysis including the phylogenetic and biogeographical history of Sesamothamnus

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...

Mass Spectrometry Imaging Combined With Single‐Cell Transcriptional Profiling Reveals the Multidimensional Spatial Distributions and Biosynthetic Pathways of Medicinal Components in Andrographis paniculata

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2876-2890, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The synthesis and accumulation of active ingredients in medicinal plants are distributed in specific organs, tissues, and cell types, which are important for the exploitation of medicinal plants. However, the fine distribution of active ingredients is difficult to know. Here, the system of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) integrated with single‐

Nature‐based approaches to invasive plant management: Insights from East African rangelands for sub‐Saharan landscape restoration

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
A nature‐based approach begins by studying an existing natural ecosystem, particularly its plant species composition, to identify suitable native plants for ecological restoration. These plants are then tested through both ex situ and in situ experiments to evaluate their effectiveness in addressing environmental degradation.

Corolla ontogeny and aestivation in the Acanthaceae

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 1994
Corolla ontogeny has been investigated in 33 species of 23 genera of Acanthaceae. These data are supported by less informative descriptions of mature aestivation patterns in 96 species of 34 genera. Five distinct aestivation patterns are described and illustrated: left contort, quincuncial, ascending cochlear, descending cochlear, and open.
