Flowering Asynchrony and Temporal Mate Restriction in Tropical Peat Swamp Forest Trees

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Tropical peat swamp forest trees flower asynchronously, restricting mating opportunities between conspecifics. Using an 18‐year dataset from Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, we show that while the same individual trees tend to flower together through time, there is enough turnover in which trees flower contemporaneously that lifetime mate restriction and

Soil Properties and Plant Species Identity Independently Influence Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Composition Across Lowland Tropical Forests

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We found that plant species identity and soil properties, especially soil phosphorus availability, independently structured arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community composition in tropical forests across central Panama. We also found that soil nutrient availability may mediate the interaction networks between plants and AMF. ABSTRACT Plant species

Transannular O‐Heterocyclization Reactions of Cyclododeca‐1,5,9‐triene Derivatives: A New Concept for the Preparation of Key Intermediates for Total Syntheses of Annonaceous Acetogenins

Helvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 2, February 2026.
Four stereogenic centers are formed diastereoselectively in one step from a cyclic (E,E)‐1,5‐diene system using an electrophilic addition reaction. Subsequent ozonolytic cleavage of the intact Z‐double bond, followed by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution, yields an octahydroterfurandione with a threo,cis,threo configuration, an arrangement found ...

A review of non‐native scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccoidea) of Australia and the challenges in maintaining current and accurate pest lists

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Over 870 species of scale insects, also called coccoids (infraorder Coccomorpha), have been recorded from Australia. Here, we systematically review literature, databases and collections to provide a revised assessment of non‐native species to Australia, for which we confirm those species that are introduced and extant in Australia (including ...
