Clonal Expansion Accounts for Most Post‐Disturbance Proliferation of a Dominant Temperate Liana, Wisteria floribunda, Across a Fragmented Forest Landscape

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Across all sampled ramets in a fragmented forest landscape, 83% were clonal, indicating that clonal expansion accounted for most of the present population structure of Wisteria floribunda. Compared with a continuous old‐growth forest, the fragmented forest showed substantially greater clonal dominance and spatial coverage by genets.

Selecting for Seed Size Diversity Can Support a Variety of Plant Colonization Strategies in Caatinga Restoration

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed traits offer valuable insights into colonization strategies under climatic unpredictability. In seasonally dry tropical forests, such traits help explain species adaptations to water availability, which is critical for effective restoration.

Urban Landscape Influence Orchid Bee Diversity in a Tropical Megacity

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1153-1163, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing urbanization has affected pollinator communities, such as Euglossini bees, which play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity through the pollination of numerous plants. However, the impact of different levels of urbanization on the diversity of these bees is still not fully understood, especially in large tropical urban ...
