Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Mapping arboretum research: Trends, gaps, and opportunities for biodiversity conservation, society, and climate resilience

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Arboreta bridge people and nature while conserving tree biodiversity, supporting climate resilience, and advancing environmental education. This study maps over a century of available and indexed arboretum research, uncovering trends, knowledge gaps, and opportunities for collaboration.

Open letter: The need for a site‐based biodiversity standard measuring and certifying impacts from nature‐based projects

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature.

Seeing herbaria in a new light: leaf reflectance spectroscopy unlocks trait and classification modeling in plant biodiversity collections

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 811-829, July 2026.
Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,

Oxytropis ikhbogdicus (Section Mesogaea, Fabaceae), A New Species From Mongolia Based on Morphological and Molecular Analyses

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Oxytropis ikhbogdicus, a new species endemic to Mongolia, is described and illustrated. The new species was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis based on the complete plastome genome and combined nuclear ribosome internal transcribed spacer (ITS), psbA‐trnH, and trnF‐L sequence data as well as morphological characteristics. ABSTRACT Oxytropis ikhbogdicus,

Integrative Analysis of the Invasive Pathways of the Ragweed Leaf Beetle Ophraella communa LeSage 1986 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) Into Domestic Areas of the Korean Peninsula

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Habitus of each life stage of Ophraella communa on Ambrosia artemisiifolia in the wild. (A) Egg mass; (B) larva; (C) pupae; (D) adult (scale bar = 5.0 mm). ABSTRACT The ragweed leaf beetle Ophraella communa LeSage is an exotic species reported to have been introduced to Korea in 2002. It has spread and inhabits the entire Korean Peninsula using ragweed,

Exclusion of dominant grasses from a prairie seed mix has long‐term impacts on species richness and ecosystem properties

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Establishing and maintaining high species diversity in ecological restorations has benefits for species conservation and the provisioning of ecosystem services. However, restored systems are often characterized by lower diversity than their remnant counterparts.

Acquisitive root exploration strategies help maintain higher peak sap flux rates during summer drought, but more root biomass does not

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2933-2945, June 2026.
Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

Characterization of the Wild Trees and Shrubs in the Fergana Valley: Diversity and Distribution, Threats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The content of this paper is significant because it presents the first comprehensive assessment of the dendroflora of the Fergana Valley, contributes to understanding species richness across biogeographic regions, and places the results in the context of Central Asian flora and global biodiversity studies.

From low to high elevations, flowers adapt traits and phenology to climate, but phenology‐trait relationships weak

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1165-1178, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowering phenology is central to plant reproductive success and can relate to morphological traits such as size and quality of flowers, but phenology–trait associations of flowers remain unclear.
