Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Portulaca (Portulacaceae) is a cosmopolitan genus with centers of diversity in Africa and South America. In Brazil, 22 species are recognized, most occurring in xerophytic environments of the Cerrado, particularly in Campos Rupestres. These rocky montane habitats, especially in northern Minas Gerais state, remain undercollected despite their high ...

Two new species of Calea ser. Multiplinerviae (Asteraceae: Neurolaeneae) from Brazil
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Detailed studies of specimens from Rondônia and Mato Grosso do Sul showed that two new species have been misidentified: Calea micropappa resembles Calea pilosa, but differs by leaf apex obtuse to acuminate (versus acute), paleae present (versus paleae absent), disc corolla lobes 1.2–1.3 mm long (versus 0.7–0.8 mm), and pappus scales 0.1–0.25 mm long ...

Oikos, EarlyView.By dispersing seeds, frugivorous animals affect spatial co‐occurrence of plants, ultimately influencing plant community dynamics. Frugivorous animals are intrinsically involved in plant community dynamics, by dispersing seeds of fleshy‐fruited plants and influencing their spatial co‐occurrence.

Oikos, EarlyView.Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Mesoclimatic origin affects alpine plant germination but not its plasticity
Oikos, EarlyView.Mountain ecosystems are disproportionately exposed to global warming, which may put alpine plant species in particular at risk. Plant species' migration and persistence depend on successful seed regeneration, with demographic traits such as germination being strongly sensitive to both present and ancestral climate.
