Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolBiting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Conservation status of species used in the UK herbal medicine industry
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Given the ongoing biodiversity crisis, sustainable use and management of medicinal plants is critical. We assessed the conservation status, threats and conservation actions of 298 species sold by UK suppliers to medical herbalists. We found that most species used are unevaluated, representing a gap in conservation knowledge, and of those with ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Alcoholic extracts from flowers, leaves, and shoots of Russian sage decreased downy mildew severity on grapevine leaf disks. Fractionation followed by metabolomic analysis revealed putative terpenoids as the main components of the active fractions. Specifically, 7‐methylrosmanol, 12‐O‐methylcarnosic acid, carnosic acid, and carnosol were identified as ...

Boreas, EarlyView.Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

Separating intrinsic from extrinsic stomatal control in different soils
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Time series of diurnal variation in vapour pressure deficit (VPD), daily precipitation and in situ measurements of diurnal needle water potential (Ψneedle) monitored at 15‐ to 30‐min intervals with optical dendrometers in three individual trees of Callitris rhomboidea over one growing season (2024/2025) at two sites with contrasting soil textures: sand

Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Invasive tree pathogens pose a significant and increasing threat to natural ecosystems. The outcome of these novel host‐pathogen interactions depends largely on the presence and nature of resistance in host populations, which will govern the host's potential to respond through natural selection and adaptation to the new threat.
