Seeing herbaria in a new light: leaf reflectance spectroscopy unlocks trait and classification modeling in plant biodiversity collections

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Chromosome‐Level Genome and Organ‐Specific Transcriptome of Alnus glutinosa Uncover Lineage‐Specific Innovations in Root Nodule Symbiosis

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3003-3021, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Alnus glutinosa is one of only three lineages within the order Fagales capable of establishing root nodule symbiosis (RNS). Although a fragmented genome assembly of A. glutinosa was previously available, its limited quality, combined with the lack of comprehensive transcriptomic resources, has constrained in‐depth comparative and functional ...

Biochemical and systematic study of the genus Betula L.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The division of the genus Betula L. accomplished on the basis of the flavonoid composition characteristic for the particular species; the proposed systematic classification also takes the chromosome number and geographical distribution into account.

Characterization of the Wild Trees and Shrubs in the Fergana Valley: Diversity and Distribution, Threats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The content of this paper is significant because it presents the first comprehensive assessment of the dendroflora of the Fergana Valley, contributes to understanding species richness across biogeographic regions, and places the results in the context of Central Asian flora and global biodiversity studies.

Phylogenetic and Population Genetic Analysis Decipher the Taxonomic Consistency on Cryptic Betula costata Trautv. (Betulaceae) Populations in Japan and the Process on Its Divergence and Isolation

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Betula costata, a deciduous broad‐leaved tree habits in the cool‐cold temperate forests in East Asia, is an ideal species for studying the persistence of relict plants. Although cryptic populations of this species have been reported in central Japan in recent years, species delineation of them using molecular evidence has not been undertaken.

Functional and Phylogenetic Implications of Canopy Mesophication in Temperate Hardwood Forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Mesophication describes the shifting of forests fire‐adapted systems to those dominated shaded‐adapted species, but the functional underpinnings of forest mesophication have received less quantitative testing. Using 20th century legacy datasets of changing forest composition in Wisconsin, USA, we characterized broad declines in drought tolerance, fire ...
