The Evolution of Hutchinsonian Climatic Niche Hypervolumes in Gymnosperms
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The niche is a fundamental concept in theoretical and experimental ecology and is used to describe a wide range of ecological processes from species' interactions with the environment to community assemblies. A common way to represent the niche is through a multidimensional geometry known as the Hutchinsonian niche hypervolume.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2933-2945, June 2026.Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3381-3395, June 2026.Summary Alien trees reshape belowground fungal communities, but the factors governing the balance between mutualists and pathogens remain unclear. We tested whether residence time, mycorrhizal type, and biogeographical origin shape this balance, and whether alien stands differ from native vegetation. We sampled soils beneath 73 alien tree species in 48

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Our paper addresses the problem of “How to predict where a tree can be found from its traits?” We show that wood density, bark thickness, maximum height and seed mass combine for a useful model of tree distributions. ABSTRACT Trait‐Species Distribution Models (trait‐SDM) help to understand the importance of plant strategies to niches, assess their ...

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.Hydroethanolic leaf and fruit extracts of Juniperus phoenicea showed high phenolic content, dominated by ferulic acid. Both extracts were non‐toxic and exhibited strong anti‐inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. Molecular docking confirmed stable binding to key inflammatory and microbial targets, supporting its ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 265-269, May 2026.Phloeosinus bark beetles may build up large populations in branch debris piles and stress giant sequoia trees. Covering debris piles with polyethylene sheeting increased the mean ambient temperature in piles and reduced beetle emergence. This was mediated by canopy structure, where ambient temperatures were further elevated under open canopies.

High Genetic Diversity of the Cypress Canker Pathogen Seiridium cardinale in the Southern Hemisphere
Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.Genome‐informed population genetic analyses revealed highly diverse Seiridium cardinale populations in the Southern Hemisphere. Their close relationship to Californian strains suggested multiple human‐mediated introductions from the pathogen's native range and subsequent spread between Southern Hemisphere countries via the trade in Cupressaceae plant ...

Wood Anatomy of Actinostrobus (Cupressaceae)
IAWA Journal, 2005 The wood anatomy of the Western Australian species Actinostrobus arenarius (Cupressaceae) is described for the first time and its features are compared with those of the two other species in the genus: A. acuminatus and A. pyramidalis. Mature heartwood in A. arenarius is light-brown in colour and has an air-dry density of 0.56 g/cm3.
