Effects of Heat Treatment on Physical-Mechanical Properties of Eucalyptus regnans
BioResources, 2015 Eucalyptus regnans was subjected to thermal treatment. The samples were placed in superheated vapors at 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, and 200 °C at ambient pressure to determine the effect of heat treatment on the physical-mechanical properties

Global warming reduces the carrying capacity of the tallest angiosperm species (Eucalyptus regnans) [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRising temperatures and increased frequency and intensity of droughts and heat waves have affected tree mortality rates worldwide. Here, we investigate how these changes have affected the carrying capacity of mountain ash forests (Eucalyptus regnans ...

Evidence for a trade‐off between growth rate and xylem embolism resistance in 22 Eucalyptus species [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2407-2426, September 2026.Examples of cross‐sectional images of branchlets at 4× and 40×. Summary Within the growth–survival trade‐off framework, embolism resistance is considered a contributor to survival, yet whether greater embolism resistance inherently limits growth remains unclear.

Traits Explain Canopy Tree Occurrence Along Regional Environmental Gradients: A Subset Combine to Be Useful [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Our paper addresses the problem of “How to predict where a tree can be found from its traits?” We show that wood density, bark thickness, maximum height and seed mass combine for a useful model of tree distributions. ABSTRACT Trait‐Species Distribution Models (trait‐SDM) help to understand the importance of plant strategies to niches, assess their ...

Precocious Cone Formation Observed on a Three‐Year‐Old Giant Sequoia Seedling [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Here, we report a case of precocious female cone formation in a three‐year‐old giant sequoia seedling (Sequoiadendron giganteum). Given that sequoia groves are threatened by increasing frequency of high severity fire, this observation suggests that a more systematic study of the size/age of earliest reproduction in sequoia is warranted.

EucaMOD: a comprehensive multi‐omics database for functional genomics research and molecular breeding of fast‐growing eucalyptus trees [PDF]
The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 5, December 2025.Significance Statement As eucalyptus research increasingly relies on big data, scientists have lacked a modern, integrated platform for multi‐omics analysis. We present a comprehensive eucalyptus multi‐omics database and analysis platform (EucaMOD) that unifies genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data for 39 species, providing a vital resource to ...

Fossil insect‐feeding traces indicate unrecognized evolutionary history and biodiversity on Australia's iconic Eucalyptus [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 4, Page 1762-1773, February 2025.Summary Fossilized plant–insect herbivore associations provide fundamental information about the assembly of terrestrial communities through geologic time. However, fossil evidence of associations originating in deep time and persisting to the modern day is scarce. We studied the insect herbivore damage found on 284 Eucalyptus frenguelliana leaves from

CONTRIBUTION TO THE THEORY OF CELL COLLAPSE IN WOOD: INVESTIGATIONS WITH EUCALYPTUS REGNANS
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2002 Total collapse is considered as the sum of "liquid tension collapse" and "stress collapse". An equation is derived giving total collapse as a linear function of wood temperature and, to a smaller extent, of collapse-free shrinkage.

Foraging activity by an ecosystem engineer, the superb lyrebird, ‘farms’ its invertebrate prey [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 848-862, May 2025.We show that the superb lyrebird, an ecosystem engineer, undertakes a unique form of resource farming through its foraging activity. By modulating litter and soil habitats on the forest floor, lyrebirds create conditions conducive to their invertebrate prey, increasing richness and biomass and resulting in a remarkable farming feedback loop.

The Mechanisms Through Which Fire Drives Population Change in Terrestrial Biota [PDF]
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.Understanding the mechanisms through which fire influences populations is necessary to protect species from fire regime change. We develop a cross‐taxa framework that identifies mechanisms through which fire regimes influence terrestrial species populations, including for amphibians, birds, fungi, insects, mammals, plants, and reptiles.
