A notable new narrow‐endemic species of Jurinea (Asteraceae) from the subalpine region of western Iran

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Extensive field studies in remote areas of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran, resulted in the identification of a novel Jurinea species (Asteraceae: subtribe Saussureinae). Jurinea kuhrangensis sp. nov., a chasmophytic species endemic to limestone outcrops in the subalpine region of Kuhrang County, is formally documented in this study ...

Eco‐Evolutionary Genomics Reveal Mountain Range‐Specific Adaptation and Intraspecific Variation in Vulnerability to Climate Change of Alpine Endemics

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Alpine plants restricted to rocky habitats exhibit intraspecific diversification due to range fragmentation during Holocene warming, complicating predictions of their climate vulnerability. A lack of understanding of eco‐evolutionary mechanisms driving their response to climate change results in ineffective conservation efforts. To uncover the

Validation of chasmophytic syntaxa of colline and montane zones in Tajikistan (Middle Asia)

Botany Letters, 2016
AbstractEight syntaxa are validated with the previous names regarded as invalidly published according to the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature. The validation concerns syntaxa of rock plant communities of the Campanuletalia incanescentis order reported from the Pamir Alai mountains in Tajikistan.

Revisiting a Small Mediterranean Island: How Vegetation has Changed in the Last 15 Years

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Questions The resurvey of historical vegetation plots has become a fundamental methodology in ecological research, as it provides a unique opportunity to estimate vegetation and environmental changes over time. Small islands are among the ecosystems where the effects of anthropogenic processes may be more detectable and less predictable.

Complex Responses to Climate Warming of Arctic‐Alpine Plant Populations From Different Geographic Provenance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The distribution of ‘cold‐adapted’ plant species is expected to undergo severe range loss in the near future. Arctic species are predicted to experience range contraction at their southern trailing‐edge locations. The distribution range of alpine species is expected to shrink at their lower‐elevation trailing‐edge locations.
