Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

The other way round : manufacturing as an extension of services in small island states [PDF]
, 1998 An earlier version of this article was presented at the VIIIth Pacific Science Inter-Congress held at the University of the South Pacific, Fiji in July 1997.Try valiantly though they might, small (often island) territories cannot possibly follow the hard-

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract About half of all plant species rely on animals such as scatter‐hoarding small mammals for seed dispersal. These plants include many keystone species for which small mammals are key primary and secondary dispersal agents as well as seed predators.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Herbivores are important drivers of plant community composition and dominance in grassy ecosystems, yet few studies have attempted to understand how different types of herbivores impact plant dominance and function. This study examined the biomass of dominant grass species and other plant functional groups after 3 years of nested herbivore ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Based on seedling dynamic data from a subtropic forest in Southwest China, we found phylogenetic negative density dependence (PNDD) and functional negative density dependence (FNDD) on seedling survival in the rainy season, but not in the dry season.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.Soil conditions are critical factors shaping forest structure and tree species composition in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs); however, few studies have evaluated edaphic effects in Cambodia's unique lowland forest landscape, where different forest types coexist under similar climatic conditions.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.Species‐specific conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) varied widely among tropical tree species. CNDD was strongest in fast‐growing species and tall, long‐lived pioneers, weakly related to most functional traits except wood density and strongest in rare species. These results show that integrated life‐history strategies explain CNDD variation
