Beyond the Paddy Fields: Riparian Reed Beds as Essential Natural Habitat for the Critically Endangered Suweon Treefrog, Dryophytes suweonensis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This figure shows the true habitat type of Dryophytes suweonensis that this paper aims to demonstrate. ABSTRACT The Suweon treefrog (Dryophytes suweonensis (Kuramoto, 1980)), a critically endangered amphibian endemic to the Korean Peninsula, is widely regarded as being closely associated with rice paddies.

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Fern spore dispersal: A methodological review and experimental field study

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract Spore dispersal is one of the most important but perhaps the least investigated and understood processes in determining the geographical distribution of fern species. After a methodological review of the aerobiology of fern spores, we examined the impact of spore characteristics and meteorological factors on their airborne dispersal.

Parallel evolution of angiosperm‐like venation in Peltaspermales: a reinvestigation of Furcula

New Phytologist, Volume 242, Issue 6, Page 2845-2856, June 2024.
Summary Leaf venation is a pivotal trait in the success of vascular plants. Whereas gymnosperms have single or sparsely branched parallel veins, angiosperms developed a hierarchical structure of veins that form a complex reticulum. Its physiological consequences are considered to have enabled angiosperms to dominate terrestrial ecosystems in the Late ...

Chara — a living sister to the land plants with pivotal enzymic toolkit for mannan and xylan remodelling

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 1, January/February 2024.
Abstract Land‐plant transglycosylases ‘cut‐and‐paste’ cell‐wall polysaccharides by endo‐transglycosylation (transglycanases) and exo‐transglycosylation (transglycosidases). Such enzymes may remodel the wall, adjusting extensibility and adhesion. Charophytes have cell‐wall polysaccharides that broadly resemble, but appreciably differ from land‐plants ...
