Phylogenomic insights into the genus Tulipa (Liliaceae): Taxonomy, evolution, and biogeography

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Tulips are one of the best‐known geophytes, but their taxonomy remains convoluted and their evolutionary history poorly understood. Here, we used plastid genomes to identify some issues with current classification, understand the diversification history of the genus, and identify potential species linked to historical cultivation ...

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Impacts of the global food system on terrestrial biodiversity from land use and climate change

Nature Communications
The global food system is a key driver of land-use and climate change which in turn drive biodiversity change. Developing sustainable food systems is therefore critical to reversing biodiversity loss. We use the multi-regional input-output model EXIOBASE

Recovery of coral cover at Lizard island Australia 6 years post-disturbance

Frontiers in Marine Science
Coral reefs are experiencing more intense and frequent disturbances induced by climate change, such as cyclones and bleaching events. This necessitates a better understanding of the ongoing environmental conditions that stress these systems and the ...

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

Private protected areas exhibit greater bias towards unproductive land compared to public protected areas

Environmental Research Communications
Globally, private protected areas (PPAs) have become an important tool for biodiversity conservation. While they are expanding in size and number, there is limited evidence on their potential impact on avoiding biodiversity loss, and how this impact ...

Reducing biodiversity impacts of agricultural production while maintaining food supply—a modelling study of the Swiss food system

Environmental Research: Food Systems
Agri-food systems are essential for food security, yet they are major drivers of biodiversity loss through land conversion, intensification, and related emissions, threatening long-term stability of food production.

The Multifaceted Importance of Amphibians: Ecological, Biomedical, and Socio-Economic Perspectives

Biology
Amphibians are among the most threatened vertebrate groups globally, with over 40% of species at risk of extinction. However, a gap remains in understanding how to effectively develop and implement amphibian conservation strategies at local and global ...
