Attraction of nocturnal scarab beetles by unusual floral volatiles in a Banksia (Proteaceae) with functionally diverse pollinators

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Invasive pine control promotes native plant regeneration, but with limited effect in the Cerrado, Brazil

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Invasions by Pinus represent major challenges for conservation and ecological restoration, especially in open ecosystems of tropical South America, such as the Brazilian neotropical savanna (Cerrado). Objective We evaluated whether the clear‐cutting and manual removal of Pinus caribaea reduce the impacts of invasion on woody plant

Lectotypification and Nomenclatural Notes on Four Names in Alismataceae From the Americas

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Four Alismataceae names from the Americas are investigated. Second‐step lectotypes are designated for Hydrocleys martii and Sagittaria seubertiana according to the Art. 9.17 of Madrid Code. A lectotype is designated for Sagittaria isoetiformis, resolving a 130‐year nomenclatural ambiguity. Finally, the previously proposed neotypification for Sagittaria
