Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The Neotropical region is the most biodiverse in the world, and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain this pattern. Among them, the most prominent are the hypotheses of biotic interchange between domains, climatic refugia during the Pleistocene and geomorphological changes during the Miocene, such as the reorganization of the ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, October–December 2026.Genus‐level phylogenetic and divergence‐time analyses recover a Late Triassic origin of Dytiscidae (~210 million years ago) and provide the most comprehensive dated evolutionary framework for the family to date. Time‐stratified biogeographic analyses support a Nearctic or Nearctic–Neotropical origin of Dytiscidae and reveal repeated dispersal events ...

Insects and allies associated with bromeliads: a review
, 2009 Bromeliads are a Neotropical plant family (Bromeliaceae) with about 2,900 described species. They vary considerably in architecture. Many impound water in their inner leaf axils to form phytotelmata (plant pools), providing habitat for terrestrial ...

Hydraulic function of medullary bundles in a tropical root climber
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Premise Medullary bundles, which are vascular bundles in the pith, have evolved multiple times. However, their functional significance remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated how medullary bundles are involved in the vascular architecture and hydraulic function in a tropical root climber, Adelobotrys scandens (Melastomataceae) to ...

Diversity and distribution of epiphytic bromeliads in a Brazilian subtropical mangrove [PDF]
, 2019 It is not unusual to find epiphytic bromeliads in mangroves, but most studies on mangrove vegetation do not record their presence. This study aimed to evaluate the diversity and distribution of epiphytic bromeliads in a subtropical mangrove. The richness,

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Predators play an important role in ecosystem nutrient cycling, yet seasonal variation in predator‐mediated nutrient cycles remains poorly understood. We show that the whole‐body elemental composition and excreta production of the riparian orb‐weaving spider, Larinioides cornutus, vary substantially across the growing season, indicating that predator ...

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.The graphical abstract shows the monitored tropical headwater catchments with dense rainforest cover situated close to the continental divide draining into the Pacific and Caribbean slopes. The Caribbean slope is characterised by year‐round high rainfall that results in catchments dominated by fast, near‐surface flow paths, relatively minor groundwater

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1476-1499, September 2026.Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.
