Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

Assessing the viability of genebanked seeds from rare, wild plants native to the United States using the D.E.A.D. paradigm

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 2, March-April 2026.
Abstract Premise Genebanks must maintain viable seeds for decades. Seeds that germinate are clearly alive, but some seeds, often from wild populations, do not germinate because they are dormant, empty, aged, or damaged (D.E.A.D.). This work evaluates the effects of D.E.A.D.

Life‐history traits and survival responses to light and water of the rare endemic species Cuphea gaumeri Koehne (Lythraceae)

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cuphea gaumeri is a rare endemic species that faces conservation challenges due to climatic variation. Our experiment showed that germination and growth were highest under high water availability and shade. At the same time, reproduction was delayed under low water and shade, and survival was greatest with high water and sunlight exposure.
