Unravelling a Rapid Radiation: Biogeography and Niche Evolution of Carex sect. Echinochlaenae Kük. (Cyperaceae)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Carex section Echinochlaenae has a disjunct distribution across the Southern Hemisphere. It displays a clear center of diversity in New Zealand coupled with extreme morphological and ecological diversification, suggesting a potential evolutionary radiation.

Ungulate impacts on herbaceous‐layer plant communities in even‐aged and uneven‐aged managed forests

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Forest management and ungulate herbivory are extant drivers of herbaceous‐layer community composition and diversity. We conducted a white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) exclosure experiment across a managed landscape to determine how deer impacts ...

Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1270-1285, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Post‐fire vegetation shifts: Role of invasives and seedbanks in an Australian grassy woodland ecosystem

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
Wildfire and invasive species interact in a south‐eastern Australian grassy woodland, with the soil seedbank introducing predominantly non‐native species into the extant vegetation after fire. This influx can temporarily increase ecosystem flammability and promote a grass–fire cycle.

Phylogenomics and Biogeography of the Eastern Asian–Eastern North American Disjunct Genus Hylodesmum (Fabaceae)

open access: yesBiological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 14-32, March 2026.
Integrating data from plastid genomes, nrDNA, and 353 low‐copy nuclear genes, this study establishes a robust phylogenetic framework for Hylodesmum. This framework supports a taxonomic revision recognizing 18 species and reveals a complex pattern of bidirectional EA–ENA dispersal, with mammals as a plausible dispersal agent. ABSTRACT Phylogenomics with

The peculiarity of hydrophytes and helophytes diaspors distribution in dependent of synanthropic problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The article gives principal means of generative diaspores of hydrophytes and helophytes distribution: hydrochory, anemochory, epizoochory, etc. It was determined, that for most species of ponds and bogs flora inherent several means of distribution ...

Evaluating vegetation restoration following a transition from sheep to cattle grazing at a calcareous upland site

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Changing management from light sheep grazing to light cattle grazing restored vegetation at a calcareous upland site. There was an increase in species richness, calcareous grassland indicators and bryophyte cover and a decrease in grass cover. There was, however, also a decrease in vegetation height.

Methods for studying of free-living herbivores zoochory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Epizoochory as well as endozoochory are well known dispersal mechanisms. This topic is being studied more and more often lately but our knowledge is still incomplete.

A simple and affordable protocol to assess censer seed dispersal: First confirmation of the mechanism in the genus Solanum

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...
