The women honoured in flowering plant genera: From myth to reality
Many flowering plant genera are named for people, but there is a gender gap in this naming, with only 6% of eponyms honouring women. Here we explore this gap by examining in detail women for whom plant genera are named. Our open shared dataset serves to make women honoured in plant genera more discoverable, resulting in further impact by allowing ...

Multifaceted Assessment of Amazonian Tree Diversity Reveals Pervasive Impacts of Human Modification
Amazonian forests impacted by humans have a reduced and different group of tree species than those forests that have never been impacted. The trees present in forests impacted by humans also have different evolutionary histories and functional characteristics.

Mapping priority areas to mitigate the risk of electrocution of range‐restricted bird species
Our study proposes a framework to identify areas with higher electrocution risk, which can be used even in data‐scarce regions or adapted to a multi‐species assessment context. This approach can support proactive strategies for energy companies with an initial assessment identifying areas to avoid installing new power lines, evaluating sites for ...

ABSTRACT The western chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) is a Critically Endangered taxon. In Guinea‐Bissau (GB), the subspecies is increasingly threatened, but there is a lack of understanding regarding the degree of genetic threat faced by populations.

Microbial drivers of root plasticity
Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...

The authors demonstrate how the effects of herbivory on a key plant trait can cascade to shape the interactions between individual plants and their flower visitors and how the indirect effects between herbivores and pollinators can modulate the structure of interaction networks in terrestrial ecosystems.

Biogeographic knowledge of Amazonian amphibians is constrained by spatial and temporal coverage, leading to biases that affect the understanding of their diversity patterns. Using an extensive occurrence database, this study identified knowledge gaps and sampling biases linked to infrastructure and accessibility factors across the region.

Using plant circadian programs to optimize agrochemical use
Summary Agrochemicals play an important role in maximizing agricultural yields. One class of agrochemicals is herbicides, which are used for weed control and to kill the top growth of certain crops before harvest. We examine the influence of plant circadian regulation on herbicide effectiveness to exemplify how knowledge of the circadian clock could be

Updated insights into the molecular pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis
Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease with frequent relapses. The genomics revolution has greatly contributed and revolutionised our knowledge of human AD; understanding the molecular skin fingerprint of AD and associated pathogenic immune pathways has led to preclinical assessments of several novel ...
