Abstract Premise The species‐rich flora of Tropical Andes underwent multiple rapid and recent diversifications, yet resolving their evolutionary histories remains challenging despite increasing phylogenomic data. Here, we examined phylogenomic conflict in Brachyotum (Melastomataceae) to identify sources preventing its resolution.

Abstract Premise Vegetative regeneration is a key mechanism of woody plant persistence in forest ecosystems, and the coupled roles of basal sprouting and clonal growth in shaping long‐term population dynamics have been understudied. Basal sprouting replaces stems at fixed ramet locations, whereas clonal growth via root suckering produces spatially ...

Insecticides and beneficial insects in cotton fields
Beneficial insect populations are often reduced by insecticides applied for control of specific pest species. The seven insecticides evaluated in this progress report were found to affect adversely the populations of six of the common predators in cotton

The graphical abstract shows how molecular biology research has shifted from using traditional animal models toward using methods that are more relevant to humans. It points out the main problems, differences between species, difficulty in reproducing results, moral issues, and lack of infrastructure that make translational accuracy harder to achieve ...

Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Abstract Premise The recovery of non‐target organism reads, especially when whole organisms are sampled, constitutes a great opportunity for studying microbial communities. The increase in whole genome sequencing feasibility and the development of new marker‐based pipelines enable the use of short reads to study bacterial communities associated with ...
