Shape and Size Adaptations of Planthoppers Along an Altitudinal Gradient on Mount Wilhelm (Papua New Guinea). [PDF]
Ecol EvolMountains are an ideal context to study species community and adaptation in relation to environmental changes such as temperature. Cixidae show niche conservatism at high altitude, with conserved forewing size and shape. Conversely, size and shape variations of forewings of Achilidae and Derbidae traduce an adaptation to high altitudes.

A comprehensive illustrated protocol for clearing, mounting, and imaging leaf venation networks. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise Leaf venation network architecture can provide insights into plant evolution, ecology, and physiology. Venation networks are typically assessed through histological methods, but existing protocols provide limited guidance on processing large or challenging leaves.

Fern mycorrhizae do not respond to fertilization in a tropical montane forest. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractIn the present study, we assessed the root‐associated fungi of two epiphytic and two terrestrial fern species in a 15‐year fertilization experiment in the Ecuadorean Andes. We found no effect of fertilization on the diversity or abundance of the fungal assemblages associated with ferns.

Through the eyes of the Andean bear: Camera collar insights into the life of a threatened South American Ursid. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study used a camera‐equipped GPS collar on a male Andean bear in southeastern Peru, revealing rare behaviors like courtship, novel diets, and geophagy. These findings from the Kosñipata Valley provide valuable insights into the poorly understood ecology of Andean bears and suggest many areas for further research.

Global biogeography of scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae): Evidence for Gondwanan vicariance and limited transoceanic dispersal [PDF]
, 2020 Aim: Scaly tree ferns, Cyatheaceae, are a well-supported group of mostly tree-forming ferns found throughout the tropics, the subtropics and the south-temperate zone. Fossil evidence shows that the lineage originated in the Late Jurassic period.
