Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Polyphagous Alpine Grasshoppers Includes Invasive Plant Species. [PDF]
The diets of three sympatric grasshopper species were compared using mandible morphological analysis, microhistological examination, and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents. Although mandible morphology differed across species and sexes, dietary divergence was not evident.

Phenolic compounds in species of the Blechnaceae. [PDF]
The occurrence of caffeic acid derivatives in 32 species of Blechnaceae revealed differences in the presence of rosmarinic acid and blechnic acid B, a novel compound in ferns. Abstract Rosmarinic acid and other caffeic and 4‐coumaric acid derivatives are widespread in land plants.

Identification and characterization of BAHD hydroxycinnamoyltransferases in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense. [PDF]
Significance Statement Nine BAHD acyltransferases have been identified and characterized in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense transferring hydroxycinnamoyl units onto various alcohol and amine acceptor substrates. Kinetic characterization showed that shikimic and quinic acids for ester formation as well as 3‐hydroxyanthranilic acid and tryptamine for ...

Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The mechanisms of fern dispersal are under‐studied and there are few data to support the vectors assumed to drive patterns of sporophyte occurrence and speciation. Although wind is generally the fern spore dispersal vector described in the literature, there has always been competing evidence supporting alternate vectors.

Diversity-Elevation Relationships of Vascular Plants in Austral Temperate Ecosystems Are Strata Dependent. [PDF]
We investigated diversity patterns of vascular plants of overstorey and understorey vegetation separately per stratum and the influence of anthropogenic disturbances along two elevational transects with contrasting slope aspects in a temperate rainforest and alpine scrub in southern Chile.
