Is There Life After Death? The Role of Standing Dead Phorophytes in Supporting Tropical Epiphyte Diversity

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

Neotropical Cave Entrances as Environmental Filters for Vascular Plant Communities Along Low‐Light and Soil Resource Gradients

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Conceptual representation of cave entrances as ecological filters along the epigean forest–cave continuum in Neotropical quartzite systems. Vascular plant richness declines sharply from the well‐lit, organic‐rich forest toward the low‐light, quartz‐rich cave interior, while community composition and β‐diversity are shaped by the combined effects of ...

Identification and characterization of BAHD hydroxycinnamoyltransferases in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.
Significance Statement Nine BAHD acyltransferases have been identified and characterized in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense transferring hydroxycinnamoyl units onto various alcohol and amine acceptor substrates. Kinetic characterization showed that shikimic and quinic acids for ester formation as well as 3‐hydroxyanthranilic acid and tryptamine for ...

Plants and Insect Eggs: First Report of a Katydid Using a Fern as Host for Oviposition

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Ferns are the second most diverse lineage of vascular plants worldwide and are particularly abundant in tropical forests. However, the ecological significance of such remarkable diversity has been often underestimated. In this article, we report for the first time the observation of ferns, specifically Polytaenium cajenense (Desv.) Benedict ...

Was the evolution of faster stomata driven by increased gas exchange rates rather than increasing water use efficiency?

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2355-2371, March 2026.
Summary Following changes in light flux, photosynthesis (A) typically adjusts more quickly than stomatal conductance (gs), which is dependent on changes in stomatal aperture. Faster stomatal responses are proposed to reduce water loss and enhance growth in dynamic light environments. Stomatal opening and closing parameters were determined in a range of
