Plant Biology, EarlyView.By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...

The biology of mycorrhiza in the Ericaceae [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1995 summaryIn acid mor‐humus soils of heathland ecosystems fungi are a significant part of the soil biomass. In these organic soils chitin and hyphal wall hexosamines are major potential sources of nitrogen (N). The ability of the ericoid mycorrhizal fungus Hymenoscyphus ericae (Read) Korf & Kernan to degrade purified chitin and the hexosamines, N ...

Soil inoculation enhances early‐phase reintroduction success in two rare plant species
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Reintroduction for conservation is an important measure to restore populations of vulnerable plant species. However, reintroduction success rates are relatively low. Inoculating reintroduced plants with facilitative microorganisms from native populations may enhance their performance.

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 1245-1261, September 2026.Unveiling the potential of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) essential oil. ABSTRACT This study investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal properties of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens L.) essential oil (GPEO). The EO was chemically characterized by GC–MS, confirming methyl salicylate as the predominant compound (99.3%).

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.Loxomerus antipodes Liebherr and Marris, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is described from the New Zealand subantarctic Antipodes Islands archipelago. Loxomerus antipodes, sp. nov., was considered conspecific with Loxomerus brevis Blanchard, 1853, from the Auckland Islands, but it is diagnosed from that sister taxon based on numerous anatomical ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1419-1433, September 2026.This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.The alignment between rockfall deposit surface exposure 10Be ages and Holocene temperature records suggests that major rockfall events occurred episodically in response to climatic fluctuations. We conclude that temperature and its evolution enabled mechanical, chemical or bio‐chemical enhancement of fracture progression.
