Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Geochemical support for a climbing habit within the Paleozoic seed fern genus Medullosa [PDF]

, 2011
A long-standing problem in paleobotany is the accurate identification of the growth habits and statures of fossil plants. Tissue-specific analysis of stable carbon isotope ratios in plant fossils can provide an independent perspective on this issue ...

Creation of a Pseudotsuga menziesii nucellus cell suspension culture system to produce proteins involved in reproduction

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 2, March-April 2026.
Abstract Premise Cell suspension cultures of Douglas‐fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) nucellus were created to overcome phenological limitations to the in situ study of bioactive proteins within and secreted by nucellar cells. Methods Proteins isolated from the cell suspension culture medium were analyzed using mass spectrometry, as were Douglas‐fir post ...

Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 401-410, March 2026.
Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

Changes in the Carotenoids of Zamia dressleri Leaves during Development

Plants
It 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.

Integrative phylogenomics and morphology reveal the evolution and biogeography of Encephalartos (Zamiaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 295-312, March 2026.
We aimed to conduct phylogenetic analyses of Encephalartos, a cycad genus endemic to Africa, using 3545 single‐copy nuclear genes extracted from transcriptome data, covering 64/65 of the recognized species, along with inference of divergence times using two secondary calibration points.
