Estudios evolutivos en el Orden Alismatales: datación de la filogenia y evolución morfológica [PDF]
, 2015 [Resumo] A Orde Alismatales estivo suxeita a numerosos estudos que pretendían esclarecer a súa filoxenia. Aínda así, as relacións evolutivas entre as familias que a compoñen non deixan de ser incertas.

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

A Comparison of DNA Metabarcoding Cloacal Swabs and Stomach Contents for Shark Diet Reconstruction
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.Our results indicate that the less invasive, non‐lethal method of DNA metabarcoding cloacal swabs provided higher taxonomic resolution than more common methods for studying shark trophic ecology (i.e., morphological stomach contents identification and trophic biomarkers) with no statistical difference in overall diet description between cloacal swabs ...

Microbial communities in sediment from Zostera marina patches, but not the Z. marina leaf or root microbiomes, vary in relation to distance from patch edge [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Zostera marina (also known as eelgrass) is a foundation species in coastal and marine ecosystems worldwide and is a model for studies of seagrasses (a paraphyletic group in the order Alismatales) that include all the known fully submerged ...

Comparison of marine macrophytes for their contributions to blue carbon sequestration
, 2015 Many marine ecosystems have the capacity for long-term storage of organic carbon (C) in what are termed "blue carbon" systems. While blue carbon systems (saltmarsh, mangrove, and seagrass) are efficient at long-term sequestration of organic ...
