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

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.

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

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
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 ...
