From mainland to islands: the evolution of resistance and tolerance to herbivory in long‐lived oaks

Oikos, EarlyView.
Island biogeography theory predicts that island plants should exhibit reduced defences compared with their mainland relatives due to relaxed herbivory pressure. However, growing empirical evidence challenges this prediction, revealing substantial variation among systems, plant lineages and defence types.

Ethnobotanical insights into the medicinal and food uses of Lamiaceae in the Mediterranean region: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
For generations, Mediterranean communities have used Lamiaceae or Labiatae plants like rosemary, thyme or mint to care for their health and to enrich their food. By bringing together dispersed knowledge from across the Mediterranean region, our review revealed the continuing relevance of Lamiaceae while also compiling past uses that may hold future ...

An interdisciplinary review of the interplay of conflict, socio‐economic factors, and land cover and vegetation dynamics in Colombia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Colombia's forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change, but they are currently facing severe degradation, particularly after the 2016 Peace Agreement. Our literature review highlights a growing research interest in this topic and demonstrates how interdisciplinary approaches combining diverse methods can enhance

Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.

Mamíferos medianos y grandes en sitios de tala de impacto reducido y de conservación en la sierra Juárez, Oaxaca

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2019
El sistema de tala de impacto reducido busca afectar mínimamente la biodiversidad. Sin embargo, su efecto sobre las poblaciones de mamíferos medianos y grandes ha sido escasamente explorado.

frontiermetrics: An R Package for Characterizing Deforestation Frontiers

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Deforestation frontiers are major drivers of biodiversity loss, carbon emissions, and ecosystem degradation, yet our understanding of how deforestation progresses in these frontiers is limited. We present frontiermetrics, an R package to quantify a range of metrics describing the speed, severity, and spatio‐temporal patterns of forest loss. The package

Tree Squirrels Selectively Disperse High‐Quality Acorns Away From Tree Trunks

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Acorn quality and squirrel feeding behavior significantly structured spatial dispersal patterns of two Californian oak species. Non‐infested acorns were preferentially selected for embryo excision and dispersed farther than infested ones. Acorns were fully consumed near tree trunks, signaling rapid feeding in safe refuges, whereas non‐eaten, partially ...

From glacial echoes to timber pathways: Climatic–historical drivers and timber‐trade influence on the phylogeography of Ips sexdentatus in the Basque Country

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ips sexdentatus is expanding across southern Europe, attacking multiple Pinus species and showing the ability to colonize trees at early stages of decline. Genetic analysis of 668 individuals revealed 106 haplotypes, with Iberian populations as diversity hotspots, reflecting long‐term refugial persistence alongside more recent demographic expansion ...
