Autorotating dispersal units of Getonia floribunda Roxb. (Combretaceae): morphology, aerodynamics and geometrical significance

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dispersal units that continuously rotate while falling purely due to aerodynamic forces are called autorotating dispersal units. Single‐ to multi‐winged forms of autorotating dispersal units occur in nature. The dispersal unit of Getonia floribunda Roxb.

Functional Guilds Mediate the Effects of Woody Encroachment on the Ground Layer in the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesJournal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
After 60 years without fire, as tree biomass increases, the Cerrado vegetation is still losing biodiversity. Exploring what happens at the ground layer, we found a strong functional bias in the battle among species to survive in the shade. There are clear losers and winners, the last driving the plant community to a forest structure, composition, and ...

Lineage‐specific phylogenetic structure of boreal habitats suggests different assembly processes across phylogenetic and spatial scales

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
The phylogenetic distance among species in a community (community phylogenetic structure) has been used to infer deterministic and stochastic assembly processes, albeit with criticisms. The effect of phylogenetic scale (old versus young lineages) and spatial scale on measures of CPS are rarely tested simultaneously, especially in the boreal biome, yet ...

How are pollination and seed dispersal modes in Cerrado related to stratification? Trends in a cerrado sensu stricto woodland in southeastern Brazil, and a comparison with Neotropical forests

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2018
A comprehensive census of a hectare of cerrado s.s. in southeastern Brazil, a small-tree and scrub woodland physiognomy, allowed the evaluation of whether pollination and dispersal modes are correlated with the stratification of the vegetation and if so,

Doubled density and increased resilience: Consequences of seven consecutive annual dry‐season fires to the unburned Cerrado grass layer

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3436-3455, December 2025.
The Cerrado grass layer benefits from frequent fires and is resilient even to an extreme fire regime, such as seven annual burns. Recurrent mid‐dry‐season fires are not harmful to the grass layer and should be less concerning than prolonged fire‐suppression regimes, which diminish grasses' biomass, cover, diversity and functioning. Maintaining frequent

Seed dispersal of wild radishes and its association with within-population spatial distribution

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2020
Background The wild radishes, Raphanus raphanistrum and R. pugioniformis (Brassicaceae) are native to the East Mediterranean region. However, whereas R. raphanistrum is widely distributed worldwide, the endemic R.

Ecological and Genetic Insights Into Antarctic Fairy Shrimp, Branchinecta gaini Daday, 1910 (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) Populations on King George Island, Antarctica

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Antarctic fairy shrimp (Branchinecta gaini) is the largest inland animal in Antarctica and a key component of its freshwater ecosystems. Despite its broad distribution, little is known about its population structure, habitat tolerance, and potential vulnerability to climate change. This study investigated the occurrence, genetic structure,
