Gonolobus in the spotlight: History, diversity, and citizen science
TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Gonolobus (Apocynaceae) is a distinctive genus of climbing plants, distributed from the southern United States to Argentina. This study presents a comprehensive, integrative analysis of the genus, synthesizing its intricate taxonomic history, biogeographic patterns, and the contribution of citizen science to its modern systematics. We compiled

Genome architecture modulates 35S and 5S rDNA homogenization in Asteraceae
The Plant Journal, Volume 128, Issue 2, October 2026.SUMMARY Concerted evolution is the model by which multicopy gene families are homogenized across genomes, with ribosomal DNA (rDNA) as its textbook example. However, the extent and efficiency of this process may vary depending on genomic factors. The plant family Asteraceae provides a natural comparative system to address the evolutionary dynamics of ...

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract We studied the impacts of uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)‐applied triclopyr + fluroxypyr on rangeland weeds and other forbs in native tallgrass prairie. Two rates were tested: high (0.63 kg ae ha−1 triclopyr + 0.21 kg ae ha−1 fluroxypyr) and low (0.21 kg ae ha−1 triclopyr + 0.07 kg ae ha−1 fluroxypyr).

Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1829-1838, September 2026.Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

Functional traits can explain coordinated seedling responses to drought and freezing stress
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2861-2875, September 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Limited plant establishment creates demographic bottlenecks that can alter vegetation trajectories in changing environments, yet it is unclear how common eco‐evolutionary indicators of plant strategy shape early response to key stressors.

Cattle and bison grazing decreases monarch egg and larval abundance in the Central United States
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Monarch butterflies have experienced massive population declines and have been proposed to be listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) are the sole host plant for monarch larvae, and milkweed abundance has dramatically declined in the past 25 years due to increased usage of herbicides and the ...
