Species‐level controls of foliar methane and nitrous oxide fluxes: roles of traits and microbes in temperate trees

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Species‐level variation in temperate tree foliar greenhouse gas exchange, showing consistent foliar CH4 uptake, N2O emission, stronger CH4 uptake in fall leaves, and contrasting methanotroph communities between the high‐CH4‐oxidizing species Tilia americana and the low‐CH4‐oxidizing species Prunus virginiana. Summary The contribution of tree foliage to

Comparing Accuracy and Biases of DNA Metabarcoding, Hybridization Capture, and Metagenomic Sequencing for Quantifying Herbivore Diets

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding using relative read abundance (RRA) is commonly applied to estimate herbivore diet composition, yet its quantitative accuracy remains uncertain. We assessed taxonomic resolution and quantitative performance of RRA from DNA metabarcoding compared to metagenomic sequencing and hybridization capture, using deer scats from ...

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Arthropods on native versus alien woody plants: Understanding variation across host plant taxonomy and geography

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Alien plants have generally been shown to support reduced arthropod abundance, biomass, and diversity compared to native plant species, but inferences have typically come from studies limited in taxonomic and geographic scope. Here, we make use of data from a unique citizen science project, Caterpillars Count!, that consists of nearly 70,000 ...

Comparative chloroplast genome analysis of Sambucus L. (Viburnaceae): inference for phylogenetic relationships among the closely related Sambucus adnata Wall. ex DC Sambucus javanica Blume

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Sambucus L. is found in the family Viburnaceae (syn. Adoxaceae) and encompasses approximately 29 accepted species. The complex morphology of these species has caused continued confusion concerning their nomenclature, classification, and identification ...

Does pollen form follow function? Effects of stigma type, pollination mode and habitat on pollen morphological traits

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results support the idea that pollen morphology is functionally adaptive and shaped by distinct phases of pollen performance: dispersal, environmental exposure, and stigma interaction. These findings highlight the potential of trait‐based approaches for understanding reproductive strategies in angiosperms.

A taxonomic reassessment of Viburnum (Adoxaceae) in the Azores

Phytotaxa, 2015
The taxonomic status of the Azorean endemic Viburnum tinus subsp. subcordatum is reassessed, using morphological characters and new molecular data from the ITS region and the trnK intron. A survey of morphological variation supports the recognition of V. tinus subsp. subcordatum as distinct from V. tinus subsp. tinus and the Canary endemic V.

Plants Used in Ethnoveterinary Medicine in Cows. A Review

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2019
Through the regulations CE.834/2007 and implementing rules CE 889/2008, regarding the organic production the treatment with antibiotics in livestock are extremely limited. Therefore plants can replace medicines in treatment of certain conditions.

Contrasting effects of experimental warming in the initiation year and the flowering year on flower phenology of boreal understory species

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Premise High‐latitude plants initiate flower primordia at least 1 year before flowering. While impacts of rising temperatures on phenology in the flowering year are well studied, the effects of warmer temperatures in the initiation year (IY; the year before flowering) are virtually unknown.
