Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Climate adaptation and functional constraints drive pollen evolution in Apiales
Summary Pollen grains exhibit remarkable morphological diversity, shaped by selective pressures from environmental factors and mechanical constraints. Here, we investigate macroevolutionary patterns of pollen morphology in Apiales, an order of angiosperms with significant ecological and geographical diversity, to disentangle the roles of climate and ...

We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy
This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

We tested how elevation and microclimate influenced butterfly–flower interaction networks at the hottest time of year in a Mediterranean mountain range. Interactions were dominated at all sites by one or two abundant butterfly and flower species, but butterfly networks were more robust to plant species loss at higher elevations. Nectar availability may

Phenolic compounds in species of the Blechnaceae
The occurrence of caffeic acid derivatives in 32 species of Blechnaceae revealed differences in the presence of rosmarinic acid and blechnic acid B, a novel compound in ferns. Abstract Rosmarinic acid and other caffeic and 4‐coumaric acid derivatives are widespread in land plants.
