Applied BiosciencesPhyllosphere microbial communities influence the growth and productivity of plants, particularly in epiphytic plants, which are disconnected from nutrients available in the soil. We characterized the phyllosphere of 30 individuals of the epiphytic cycad,

Evaluating the empirical basis for threat attribution in the IUCN Red List
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Understanding the impacts of different threats on species is key to successful conservation interventions and policies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assesses threats to species, and the organization's Red List of Threatened Species is a key conservation tool.

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 3, May-June 2026.Abstract Premise DNA barcoding for timber species identification requires comprehensive reference datasets, informative DNA barcodes, and cost‐effective protocols. We developed a workflow leveraging Hyb‐Seq (target capture sequencing and genome skimming) to address these challenges, and we tested it on four genera from the mahogany family (Meliaceae ...

Changes in the Carotenoids of Zamia dressleri Leaves during Development
PlantsIt has been observed that the leaves of some Zamia species undergo a kind of “reverse ripening”; that is, they change from their original brown color to green during development.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.A two‐phase SNP discovery and assay‐development strategy was used to resolve species boundaries within the tree genus Greyia, as overlapping phenotypes and distributions limit accurate identification. From 47,726 genome‐wide SNPs generated by 3RAD sequencing, a diagnostic 23‐SNP Type panel was developed and validated, successfully distinguishing G ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The study identified 41 priority conservation grids and 8 critical conservation gaps not covered by national reserves for medicinal gymnosperms. We proposed a practical, multi‐dimensional framework for their conservation. ABSTRACT To elucidate the geographical distribution patterns and hotspots of medicinal gymnosperms in China, providing a scientific ...

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Butterflies are one of Australia's most popular and well‐studied invertebrate groups. Much butterfly research in the country is either led or supported by amateur entomologists and citizen scientists, and yet despite this, the recent and dramatic increase in the volume of publicly accessible citizen science butterfly observations has received ...

Evidence for an ancient whole genome duplication in the cycad lineage.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Contrary to the many whole genome duplication events recorded for angiosperms (flowering plants), whole genome duplications in gymnosperms (non-flowering seed plants) seem to be much rarer.
