Lasianthus phucanhensis sp. nov. (Rubiaceae) from Vietnam

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Lasianthus phucanhensis (Rubiaceae), a new species from Hoa Binh Province, northwestern Vietnam, is described and illustrated. In addition, the opportunity is taken to review the typification of all Lasianthus spp. from Vietnam. Three lectotypes are selected for Lasianthus kamputensis Pierre ex Pit., Lasianthus dinhensis Pierre ex Pit.

Life history stability under climate change: a wildflower at the northern edge of its range

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Stabilities of life history traits for a widespread native perennial wildflower, Rudbeckia laciniata L., are described for five populations near the northern edge of its range in North America. Theory proposes that such populations experience variable levels of stress as suitable abiotic conditions shift north or south from year to year, which ...

A new old species of Tetracera (Dilleniaceae) from Espinhaço Range, Brazil

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Tetracera is the only genus within Dilleniaceae with a pantropical distribution. During efforts for a taxonomic revision of the neotropical species, we identified incongruences between application of names and their taxonomic identities, based on protologue and type specimen analysis. Here we describe a new species for the genus bearing a single carpel

Two new endemic species of Portulaca (Portulacaceae) from the Brazilian Pampa grasslands

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Portulaca L. is a monophyletic, cosmopolitan genus of succulent plants comprising ca 153 species, with particularly high diversity in xerophytic ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions. Based on morphological evidence, we describe and illustrate two new species from the Brazilian Pampa, Portulaca guaritensis and Portulaca guenoa.

Treasures of the Serra da Jiboia (Bahia, Brazil): a new species of Racinaea and an overview of the local Bromeliaceae flora

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Serra da Jiboia, located in the south‐central region of Bahia, represents an important ecotone between the Atlantic Forest and the Caatinga and harbors high floristic diversity and numerous endemic species. The Bromeliaceae family, well represented in the region, stands out for its ecological importance and adaptability to various microenvironments ...

Uptake, metabolism, and bioremediation of neonicotinoid insecticides in soil–plant systems: A review

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the uptake and metabolic transformation of neonicotinoid insecticides in plants, showing that some metabolites exhibit higher toxicity. We also critically assess promising bioremediation strategies using microbes and plant–microbe interactions to reduce residue contamination.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Mechanisms and impacts of future plant invasions: research agendas and management needs under disruptive social‐ecological change scenarios

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

Trait‐associated pathway links plant diversity to litterfall phenology in a seasonally dry tropical forest

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Phenology plays a central role in regulating energy flow and nutrient cycling, yet remains insufficiently integrated into biodiversity–ecosystem functioning frameworks. This gap is especially relevant in strongly seasonal systems, where community‐wide synchrony in leaf litterfall may arise from either temporal niche differentiation among species or ...
