Beyond conservation: the landscape of chloroplast genome rearrangements in angiosperms

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2571-2580, September 2025.
Summary Chloroplast genomes (plastomes) have long been considered structurally conserved, but recent sequencing efforts have uncovered pervasive rearrangements that challenge this assumption. This review catalogues the main types of plastome modifications: large and small inversions; insertions and deletions (indels); gene and intron losses; horizontal

Seasonal and Landscape‐Driven Variations in Forage Resources of Apis mellifera scutellata: Implications for Pollination Sustainability and Colony Health in Taita Taveta County, Kenya

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We used DNA metabarcoding to identify nectar and pollen plant species supporting honey bee nutrition across different landscapes and seasons in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. Forage availability was influenced by landscape and season, with exotic species (67%) dominating over native ones (33%), raising concerns about colony health and how the occurrence ...

Impact of land management on herbaceous vegetation diversity and forage provision in the Great Green Wall in Burkina Faso

open access: yesGrassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 105-120, June 2025.
According to the disturbance gradient, the species richness of herbaceous vegetation increased from fenced (less disturbed) to fallow (most disturbed). The pastoral value and biomass production of grazing land were higher in protected areas (fenced land) than in unprotected areas (community forests and fallow land), suggesting that conservation ...
