Phylogenomic analysis of Madagascar's baobabs reveals admixed populations and supports resurrection of a previously described species

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Baobab trees (Adansonia) are iconic members of Madagascar's biota that serve as emblems for the island's unique biodiversity. Despite this recognition, many questions remain regarding evolutionary relationships and species limits within the genus.

Hypervolume Trait Spaces Reveal Similarities but Also Functional Differentiation Across Riparian, Roadside and Field Margin Habitats

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To characterize plant species pools and functional diversity of three common linear habitats—riparian corridors, roadsides and field margins—and to evaluate their potential roles in regional biodiversity conservation, particularly regarding invasive and threatened species.

Assessing current curation, identification and digitisation practices in herbaria: Results from a global survey

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1175-1194, July 2026.
The value of herbarium specimens depends largely on the accuracy and accessibility of the data captured, which is dependent on curation practices. Previous studies have shown high levels of misidentification in collections, which become more problematic with increased access.

Afforestation des savanes et dynamique écologique du sous-bois : effets contrastés des plantations d’Acacia en République démocratique du Congo

open access: yesRevue Congolaise des Sciences et Technologies
Les plantations forestières jouent un rôle important dans la production de bois, la séquestration du carbone et la restauration des paysages tropicaux, mais leurs effets sur la biodiversité végétale dépendent fortement du contexte écologique.

Digitisation of herbarium specimens to the benefit of research: An African perspective focusing on South Africa and Western Indian Ocean Island states

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1042-1056, July 2026.
Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.

Climate Predicts Tree Dispersal Strategies Across Brazil's Ecosystems

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes—endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and ...

Broad Fungal Compatibility and Seed Size May Facilitate Invasiveness in Two Asian Terrestrial Orchids Spathoglottis plicata and Arundina graminifolia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Two Asian orchids, Arundina graminifolia and Spathoglottis plicata, are expanding into tropical regions worldwide, showing invasive behavior. In this study, we investigated the factors underlying their success. Both species—as all orchids—require fungal carbon to germinate, but S.

Niche Dynamics Under Current and Future Climates of South African Plants in France

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim While climatic niche dynamics of invasive plants have been increasingly studied worldwide, comparative assessments disentangling niche conservatism from expansion into analogue and non‐analogue climates remain very limited in France. Here, the climatic niche dynamics of four South African plant species established in France were quantified,

Relation entre la composition botanique de végétations de montagne et leur composition en composés volatils

open access: yes, 2000
In order to find objective data linking the quality of cheese to environmental conditions, we studied the relationships between the botanical composition of various mountain pastures and the contents of volatile compounds in the plants ; the idea was to understand how these compounds could influence the organoleptic properties of cheese. Ten samples of
