Soil seed banks in three restored wildlife corridors; implications for linear habitats in tropical environments

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Restoring habitat corridors between fragments and continuous forests can potentially counter the effects of isolation, especially in tropical forests where species sensitivity to fragmentation is high. The ability of restored linear habitats to absorb natural disturbance in inimical surroundings potentially reflects resilience, an important aim of ...

Traits Associated With Local Extinctions of Native Plants in a Species‐Rich Urban Reserve

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 3, July/September 2025.
A comprehensive resurvey of an urban reserve in Sydney failed to redetect 29% of native vascular plant species recorded from 1976 to 1992. Compared with persistent species, locally extinct species were shorter on average and more likely to have a graminoid habit and be water‐associated.

Well‐resolved phylogeny supports repeated evolution of keel flowers as a synergistic contributor to papilionoid legume diversification

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 369-387, July 2025.
Summary The butterfly‐shaped keel flower is a highly successful floral form in angiosperms. These flowers steer the mechanical interaction with bees and thus are hypothesized to accelerate pollinator‐driven diversification. The exceptionally labile evolution of keel flowers in Papilionoideae (Fabaceae) provides a suitable system to test this hypothesis.

Pest categorisation of Coccus viridis

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.

Niche-breadth of freshwater macrophytes occurring in tropical southern African rivers predicts species global latitudinal range [PDF]

, 2016
The study tested the hypothesis that measurement, using multivariate Principal Components Analy-sis (PCA), of the niche-breadth of river macrophyte species in southern tropical Africa, may predicttheir larger-scale biogeographical range.
