Evaluating the empirical basis for threat attribution in the IUCN Red List
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.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.

Stem Carbon Dioxide Efflux of Lignophytes Exceeds That of Cycads and Arborescent Monocots
Agronomy, 2022 Tree stem CO2 efflux (Es) can be substantial and the factors controlling ecosystem-level Es are required to fully understand the carbon cycle and construct models that predict atmospheric CO2 dynamics.

Darwin's "Abominable Mystery": the role of RNA interference in the evolution of flowering plants [PDF]
, 2009 Darwin was famously concerned that the sudden appearance and rapid diversification of flowering plants in the mid-Cretaceous could not have occurred by gradual change.

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 ...

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 ...

Diversity, 2023 Heterocyte-forming cyanobacteria form symbiotic relationships with several lineages of plants. Here, twenty (20) strains of endosymbiotic cyanobacteria (cyanobionts) with Nostoc-like morphologies were isolated from the highly specialized coralloid roots ...

Rethinking cycad metabolite research
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2011 Cycads are among the most ancient of extant Spermatophytes, and are known for their numerous pharmacologically active compounds. One compound in particular, β-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA), has been implicated as the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinson dementia complex (ALS/PDC) on Guam.

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 ...
