Weaving for action: Transformative change in biodiversity monitoring

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The Post‐2020 Kunming‐Montreal Biodiversity Framework aims to drive transformative change to halt biodiversity loss. To track progress toward its goals and targets, a dedicated monitoring framework has been established. The current biodiversity monitoring framework relies on a set of indicators developed through a unidirectional process of ...

Taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a Mediterranean coastal area: implications for dune conservation in a long‐term ecological research eLTER site

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...

Expansion of invasive carabids across elevation and habitats on sub‐Antarctic South Georgia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Two introduced carabid species have continued to expand their ranges on the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia over the past 10–15 years. The species have colonised inland valleys and are present across habitats but are more abundant in those with high vegetation cover. N‐mixture models revealed the optimal sampling method, intensity and habitat for

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal families and exploration‐based guilds exhibit distinct responses to long‐term N, P and K deficiencies and imbalances

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Many agroecosystems face nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or potassium (K) deficiencies due to imbalanced or insufficient nutrient replenishment after biomass harvest. How this affects the symbiosis between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the abundance of exploration‐based AMF guilds (rhizophilic, edaphophilic and ancestral ...

Heat treatment duration affects in vitro‐induced photosynthetic impairment and development of necrotic leaf tissue in three Mediterranean oak species

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Longer lasting heat treatment durations induced photosynthetic impairment at lower temperatures and caused the development of proportionally more necrotic tissue at lower temperatures in leaves of three Mediterranean oak species. Abstract Short heat treatments are commonly used to estimate the leaf‐level thermal tolerance of tree species. The effect of

Spatial Distribution of Parthenium hysterophorus: Impact on Plant Species Diversity and Soil Characteristics in Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The invasions are severe and have an impact on pasture lands, farmlands, and conservation areas. However, there is little data on Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Parthenium) mapping using GIS in the Southern Region of Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to map the spatial distribution of Parthenium which affects the diversity of plant ...

Flore et communautés végétales des inselbergs du Sud-Est du Togo

Physio-Géo, 2018
The study characterizes the phytoecologic units of granito-gneissic inselbergs in south-eastern Togo. The vegetation has been described by the stigmatiste phytosociological approach of BRAUN-BLANQUET. On each inselberg, floristic samples (plots of 100 to
