Chemical diversity and phylogenetic insights into Hawaiian ʻākia (Wikstroemia) species used in traditional fishing practices

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...

Building a genomic and herbarium biorepository for medicinal plants of the Western Ghats

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Medicinal plants support healthcare for millions of people and sustain livelihoods, yet many threatened species lack secure long‐term genetic protection. This study establishes a genomic and herbarium biorepository for medicinal plants of the Western Ghats, a global biodiversity hotspot facing intense human pressure.

Predator egg‐induced non‐consumptive effects suppress spider mite survival and reproductive performance

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing predation intensity of predatory mite significantly reduced spider mite fitness in terms of shorter mother longevity, lower mother fecundity, longer offspring development, lower offspring survival, and lower population growth. Abstract BACKGROUND Predators suppress pest populations not only through direct consumption but also via non ...

Behavioural manipulation of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala L): Prospects for push–pull strategies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

Long‐term changes in functional diversity and its implications for mammalian conservation and ecological restoration in a grassland ecosystem

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

Wood anatomical trait correlations with hydraulic efficiency and safety in an aseasonal wet tropical forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Xylem anatomy underpins the capacity of trees to transport water while avoiding hydraulic failure, shaping species performance and resilience to climate change. However, the specific ways anatomical traits underpin hydraulic trade‐offs in tropical forests remain debated.
