Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1223-1237, July 2026.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Climate change‐driven expansion of goosegrass highlights risks to global food production

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6494-6508, July 2026.
Climate change is expanding the climatic suitability of Eleusine indica into temperate agricultural regions, increasing its overlap with major soybean and maize production areas. These findings highlight a growing global threat to food security and the need for proactive weed management strategies.

Estimating Distribution Range Shifts of the Japanese Alpine Butterfly Colias palaeno Induced by Historical Climate Fluctuations and the Crucial Role of Its Host Plant

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
In this study, we used ecological niche models to quantify historical changes in the estimated distribution ranges of the alpine butterfly Colias palaeno and its host plant Vaccinium uliginosum in Japan. The results showed that temperature and host plant occurrence strongly influence the estimated distribution of C. palaeno.

Ecological Plasticity Explains the Distribution of Sympatric and Allopatric Mouse Lemurs (Microcebus spp.) in Northeastern Madagascar

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Species distributions are shaped by complex biotic and abiotic interactions, which are often not fully understood. We investigated the ecological basis of co‐occurrence and distribution of four partially sympatric and allopatric cryptic mouse lemur species (Microcebus spp.) in the Ambatosoa and Analanjirofo region of northeastern Madagascar ...

Worldwide Invasions of Centrarchidae: The Dark Side of the Sunfish Family

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 781-812, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish invasions are major drivers of global ecological change, disrupting native biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, many invasive fish hold significant socioeconomic value, resulting in conflict over their management. Centrarchidae, which are globally distributed and are important for sportfishing and aquaculture, are now

Leaf Size in Conifers: Global Associations With Climate and Evolutionary History

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Global patterns in leaf size are linked to climatic trade‐offs, so we explore these relationships in a major group of plants, the conifers. Using contemporary phylogenetic methods, we show that conifers display a strong pattern of evolutionary conservatism in the association of leaf size with climate, and highlight that these relationships are driven ...
