Moss‐Accumulated eDNA Is a Promising Source for Terrestrial Biodiversity Surveys Across the Tree of Life and Biomes

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.

Synorganisation without organ fusion in the flowers of Geranium robertianum (Geraniaceae) and its not so trivial obdiplostemony [PDF]

, 2017
Background and Aims Synorganisation of floral organs, an important means in angiosperm flower evolution, is mostly realized by congenital or post-genital organ fusion.

Yes, we CAM! First evidence of CAM photosynthesis in a carnivorous plant

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 272-281, January 2026.
Evidence for weak, facultative CAM is reported for the first time in a carnivorous plant, i.e., in Mexican representatives of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae). Abstract Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a photosynthetic adaptation enabling higher CO2 concentration close to Rubisco and increased water use efficiency.

Non-equilibrium dynamics and floral trait interactions shape extant angiosperm diversity. [PDF]

, 2016
Why are some traits and trait combinations exceptionally common across the tree of life, whereas others are vanishingly rare? The distribution of trait diversity across a clade at any time depends on the ancestral state of the clade, the rate at which ...

Lineage‐specific phylogenetic structure of boreal habitats suggests different assembly processes across phylogenetic and spatial scales

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
The phylogenetic distance among species in a community (community phylogenetic structure) has been used to infer deterministic and stochastic assembly processes, albeit with criticisms. The effect of phylogenetic scale (old versus young lineages) and spatial scale on measures of CPS are rarely tested simultaneously, especially in the boreal biome, yet ...

Interaction between floral rewards and floral symmetry shapes diversification dynamics in Amazonian trees

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 3297-3311, December 2025.
Summary Floral zygomorphy, or monosymmetry, is thought to have a positive effect on the diversification rates of angiosperms, but its true impact is still an open topic. Given the controversy surrounding this matter, our study evaluates whether rewards such as nectar and pollen produced by floral structures evolve in correlation with floral symmetry ...

Evaluation of the in vivo mutagenic potential of hydroalcoholic extracts of the northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. Ericales, Ericaceae) on peripheral blood cells of Swiss mice (Mus musculus Rodentia, Muridae)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
The northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. Ericales, Ericaceae) is very rich in anthocyanins, natural pigments which have strong antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, resulting in the worldwide use the blueberry as a ...

Managing coextinction of insects in a changing climate [PDF]

Approximately a quarter of global terrestrial biodiversity is represented by plant dwelling insects and the potential for thousands of species to be extinguished through widespread disturbances such as a changing climate is high. From a large database of

New records of Pouteria macrocarpa (Sapotaceae) from the Brazilian Atlantic forest

Rodriguésia
We present the first voucher-based record of Pouteria macrocarpa for Brazilian Atlantic forest and extend the occurrence area of it. Besides, a brief taxonomic description, an identification key for lignified-fruits Pouteria species, and information ...

Extrapolating demography with climate, proximity and phylogeny: approach with caution [PDF]

, 2016
Plant population responses are key to understanding the effects of threats such as climate change and invasions. However, we lack demographic data for most species, and the data we have are often geographically aggregated.
