Freshwater amphibians and squamates from Villeveyrac (lower Campanian; Hérault, France): palaeodiversity, palaeoenvironment and implications for the Late Cretaceous palaeobiogeography of the European herpetofauna

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

Microsporogenesis and the biosynthesis of floral small interfering RNAs in coffee have a unique pattern among eudicots, suggesting a sensitivity to climate changes

open access: yesPlant Direct
Recently, the siRNAs pathways, and especially reproductive phasiRNAs, have attracted attention in eudicots since their biological roles are still unknown and their biogenesis took different evolutionary pathways compared to monocots.

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

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Phylogenetic Endemism and Ancestral Area Inference Reveal Historical Refugia in the Greater Cape Floristic Region

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Refugial areas and habitats are thought to have played a key role in facilitating both the emergence and persistence of floristic diversity in the Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) of South Africa. While refugial areas may be identified using a diversity of biological proxies (e.g., narrow‐range endemism; paleoendemism), there is a ...

Conserved spatial patterning of gene expression in independent lineages of C4 plants

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 24-38, January 2026.
Summary C4 photosynthesis enhances carbon fixation efficiency by reducing photorespiration through the use of an oxygen‐insensitive carboxylase and spatial separation of photosynthesis between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. The C4 pathway has evolved independently in > 60 plant lineages, but molecular mechanisms underpinning this convergence remain

24-nt reproductive phasiRNAs are broadly present in angiosperms

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
24-nt phased siRNA (phasiRNA) regulate reproduction in grasses, yet are absent from Arabidopsis, and were thought to be monocot-specific. Here, Xia et al.

PLETHORAs shape Arabidopsis phyllotaxis through modulation of patterning robustness and accelerated inflorescence development

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 495-511, January 2026.
Summary Phyllotaxis is the arrangement of lateral organs on a stem axis, which in Arabidopsis follows a spiral pattern. We previously described that loss of three PLETHORA (PLT) transcription factors shifts the phyllotactic spiral to novel metastable patterns, but the mechanism behind these shifts remained unclear.
