Prioritizing site groups for intrinsic biodiversity assets using complementarity and not just rarity
Conservation practitioners rightfully focus on at‐risk species when valuing biodiversity assets and prioritizing spatial units. We compared and combined numbers of at‐risk species with four other community metrics using surveys of vascular plants at wetlands in a preserve network in Illinois, USA.

Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to

Selection shapes the evolution of genome size in a globally invasive plant
Abundance, genomic distribution and structural characteristics of transposable elements (TEs) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes across the common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) reference genome. Summary Biological invasions provide powerful natural experiments for understanding how genome architecture responds to novel climatic environments ...

Diel net CO2 exchange of carnivorous Pinguicula is consistent with low‐level CAM photosynthesis
In carnivorous butterworts (Pinguicula), CO2 uptake occurs primarily in the light via C3 photosynthesis, yet low‐level CAM photosynthesis, including net CO2 dark fixation, significantly improves the carbon balance of plants, especially under water‐deficit conditions.

SUMMARY Specialised metabolism is an important factor in how plants cope with biotic and, to a lesser extent, abiotic stress. Current approaches to identify and study the genes involved in such metabolic pathways mainly leverage genomic and transcriptomic datasets of plants, in order to improve our understanding of plant resilience.
