Unmanaged forest swamps benefit saproxylic and soil‐inhabiting crane fly communities

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 349-359, March 2026.
Species richness of both saproxylic and soil‐inhabiting crane flies was consistently higher in unmanaged forests across all habitat types. Soil‐inhabiting species thrived in swamps and ditches, while saproxylic richness was linked to low light and high soil moisture, independent of habitat type.

Neighbourly Dispute at the Edge of Life: Species Interactions Among Antarctic Mosses

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Vegetation growth in the harsh Antarctic environment is often assumed to be driven solely by species adaptations to abiotic conditions. However, in this first experimental study of species interactions between Antarctic mosses, we show that competitive interactions do occur under simulated Antarctic conditions, suggesting that, as well as abiotic ...

Two new liverworts for Europe in Macaronesia : Odontoschisma prostratum (Sw.) Trevis. on the Azores and Jungermannia callithrix Lindenb. & Gottsche on the Azores and Madeira [PDF]

, 1999
Odontoschisma prostratum (Sw.) Trevis. and Jungermannia callithrix Lindenb. et Gottsche, two liverworts mainly distributed in the Neotropics, are reported at hand of many collections from Macaronesia. O.

Plant Community Responses to Long‐Term Nutrient Additions Interact With Elevation and Vegetation Type in a Subarctic Tundra

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
At high latitudes, plant responses to warmer temperatures often depend on nutrient availability. This study explores long‐term (14 years) plant responses to nutrient additions in two tundra vegetation types along an elevational gradient. It finds that early and significant context (vegetation and elevation) dependent responses of plant communities to ...

Functional Traits Mediate Physico‐Chemical Niche Differentiation of Epiphytic Lichens and Bryophytes in Temperate Forests

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Host tree identity drives bark physico‐chemical filters (e.g., pH, metals) that shape epiphytic communities. We show that species‐specific functional traits, such as lichen substances and bryophyte growth forms, mediate these responses. Lichen metal homeostasis and bryophyte growth habit create distinct species thresholds and community change points ...

Bryophytes of Uganda : 6., new and additional records, 3. [PDF]

, 2003
12 hepatics and 32 mosses are reported new to Uganda, 1 moss being also new to Africa, and 1 liverwort new to mainland Africa. Ectropothecium plumigerum (Broth.) Hedenäs is a new combination (basionym: Isopterygium plumigerum Broth.) with a new synonym ...

Effects of Ungulate Herbivores on Temperate Forest Understory Vegetation—Implications From a Large‐Scale Wildlife Exclosure Experiment in Central Europe

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Fenced ungulate exclosure (foreground) with unfenced control plot (background). ABSTRACT Question Ungulates play a key role in influencing understory vegetation and ecosystem dynamics in temperate forests. However, how soil conditions modulate ungulate effects on understory communities remains insufficiently understood.

The life cycles of cryptogams [PDF]

, 1991
Meiosis and karyogamy are recognized as control points in the life cycle of cryptogams. The control of meiosis is evidently complex and in yeast, and by analogy in all cryptogams, involves progressive gene activation.

Transfer cells in Horneophyton lignieri illuminate the origin of vascular tissues in land plants

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3149-3164, March 2026.
Summary Recent fossil discoveries and advances in plant phylogeny have renewed debate about the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of land plants and the evolution of its fundamental organs and tissues. We re‐investigate the vascular system of Horneophyton lignieri, an exceptionally preserved Rhynie Chert fossil central to understanding early plant ...

B‐GATA factors are required for nitrogen‐responsive growth in Physcomitrium patens and Arabidopsis thaliana

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2919-2937, March 2026.
Summary We hypothesized that B‐GATA family transcription factors have important roles in growth regulation in moss. We analyzed B‐GATA family transcription factor mutants from Physcomitrium patens and Arabidopsis thaliana to assess growth, gene expression, and cytokinin‐related processes under varying nitrogen conditions.
