Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Phialacanthus griffithii Benth. & Hook.f. (Acanthaceae), a species long thought unrecorded, was rediscovered in 2023 after a 160‐year gap in the Upper Dibang Valley, Eastern Himalaya, Arunachal Pradesh. The study presents a comprehensive taxonomic account including lectotypification, morphological description, phenology, habitat ecology, distribution ...

Effects of salinization on tropical freshwater wetland primary producers and aquatic invertebrates
Oikos, EarlyView.Sea level rise is expected to transform coastal aquatic ecosystems world‐wide. The freshwater wetlands of tropical northern Australia are among the most biodiverse and productive ecosystems on the continent, but owing to high regional rates of sea level rise coupled with low‐lying land and large tides they are increasingly affected by saltwater ...

Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems
Oikos, EarlyView.Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.

Oikos, EarlyView.Grasslands, by definition, are dominated by graminoids. Nevertheless, forbs also make up a substantial part of vascular plant diversity in grasslands and are important resources of mammalian herbivores. However, forb recruitment is constrained by successful dominant graminoids, limiting access to safe sites for germination.

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle
Oikos, EarlyView.The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.
