Diplazium subquadripinnatum (Copel.) Lellinger (Athyriaceae): A New Record for the Flora of Niue Resolves an 85‐Year Mystery

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
A fern collection made by T. G. Yuncker on 27 January 1940 from tropical rainforest forest in Niue had only been identified to its genus and lacked a species determination. Yuncker in his 1943 flora referred the collection to Athyrium Roth, whereas W. R. Sykes in his 1970 flora treated it as Diplazium Sw. Examination of the Yuncker 9916 specimen (BISH!)

Trait plasticity enables trees and shrubs to live as epiphytes throughout the coast redwood canopy

open access: yesEcosphere
The radiation of plants into epiphytic niches has largely been studied by comparing closely related taxa that contain both epiphytic and terrestrial species.

Contribución del epifitismo accidental a la distribución de especies de plantas vasculares en un bosque templado lluvioso

open access: yesGayana: Botanica, 2017
In a Valdivian forest stand, we identified vascular plant species occurring as accidental epiphytes, and we determined the contribution of accidental epiphytism on their local abundance.

Cretaceous moss–cyanobacteria association reveals trophic interactions in polar forests of Antarctica

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3627-3639, September 2026.
Kimmerera cyanifera gen. et sp. nov. with associated cyanobacteria, holotype UWBM 116051. Summary Through symbiotic associations with microbes, mosses play many important ecological roles in terrestrial ecosystems, such as facilitating trophic interactions and nitrogen cycling.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

The microsoroid ferns: Inferring the relationships of a highly diverse lineage of Paleotropical epiphytic ferns (Polypodiaceae, Polypodiopsida)

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2008
The relationships of the microsoroid ferns were studied using a DNA sequence-based phylogenetic approach. Nucleotide sequences for up to four chloroplast genome regions were assembled for 107 samples from 87 species. Microsoroids s.l. include six lineages of which two are species rich. The results indicate that several genera are not monophyletic (e.g.

THE DIVERSITY OF EPIPHYTIC FERN ON THE OIL PALM TREE (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) IN PEKANBARU, RIAU

open access: yesJurnal Biologi Udayana, 2015
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is one  main commodity in Riau Province. Morphologically, the trunk of oil palm  has suitable environment for the growth of epiphytic fern, due to its broaden base of petiole that may accumulate organic and anorganic debrish.

Hidden Microbiota Inhabiting in Pollen Reserves of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) From Amazonas Region Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
DNA metabarcoding of honey bee pollen reserves from Amazonas region reveals that microbial communities are strongly shaped by their ecosystem. Despite high taxonomic turnover across different habitats, these microbiomes maintain stable, essential functions for pollinator health, though they remain highly vulnerable to habitat homogenization.

“On a tree”, “terrestrial”, or “on the rocks”? Habit diversity in the megadiverse genus Peperomia

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1373-1384, August 2026.
The plasticity of a large proportion of Peperomia species to occupy multiple types of microhabitats is not well documented due to the typically rigid categorization of habitat use. Therefore, the numerical approach presented is methodologically innovative to advance ecological data integration to provide a more realistic visualization of the habitat ...
