Elevation‐Driven Morphological Variation in Dianthus virgineus L. s.l. in the Southern Apennine: A Functional Perspective

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our study on Dianthus virgineus uses morphology, functional traits, and fluctuating asymmetry to explore elevational phenotypic variation. We found continuous, environmentally‐driven variation, suggesting local adaptation over distinct species. This work offers a framework to help in the interpretation of polymorphic plant complexes and prevent ...

Flower Feeding and Reproductive Timing in Spix's Night Monkeys (Aotus vociferans): Evidence From Arboreal Camera Traps

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This article provides new insights into the diet and reproductive biology of the Spix's night monkeys (Aotus vociferans). This evidence was collected using arboreal camera traps in a tropical mountain rainforest in Southern Ecuador, where documented information on this primate is rare.

Severe Climate‐Driven Range Contraction of Taverniera abyssinica A. Rich, an Endangered and Locally Popular Medicinal Plant in Ethiopia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Taverniera abyssinica, a critically endangered Ethiopian medicinal plant, faces severe habitat loss due to climate change. Using ensemble species distribution models (BRT, RF, GAM, GLM), we predict an 83.2% net reduction in suitable habitat under future climate scenarios.

Moving beyond environmental filtering hypotheses: Deciphering the drivers of congeneric plant introductions in an oceanic archipelago

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Understanding why only some species succeed in naturalizing and invading ecosystems has intrigued scientists since Darwin's time. The pre‐adaptation hypothesis posits that introduced species closely related to natives, therefore ecologically similar, are more likely to establish than others.

Age‐related trends in niche position and specialization in Neotropical vertebrates

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Species' niche positions and breadths within a region's environmental space, measured through ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA) as marginality and specialization, can reflect evolutionary constraints related to lineage age. The ‘internal incumbency' hypothesis predicts that older species, due to competitive preemption, occupy more central niche ...

The importance of integrating herbarium records into conservation plans: a case study on Honduran ferns and lycophytes

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1238-1255, July 2026.
Herbarium collections are powerful, yet underutilized, tools for global biodiversity conservation and protected area management. By integrating digitized herbarium records with existing biodiversity data, previously unknown plant species were uncovered, exposing critical gaps in conservation knowledge.

A study of variations in floristic composition of highveld in the Eastern Transvaal.

open access: yes, 2007
Reports the results of a study conducted to assess the nature of variations infloristic and palatability composition of Highveld in the Eastern Transvaal; Floristic surveys of two 1500m line transects in veld provided data which indicated the nature of ...

How digitisation of herbaria reveals the botanical legacy of the First World War

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1292-1303, July 2026.
Digitisation of herbarium collections is bringing greater understanding to bear on the complexity of narratives relating to the First World War and its aftermath – scientific and societal. Plant collecting during the First World War was more widespread than previously understood, contributed to the psychological well‐being of those involved and ...

Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1132-1144, July 2026.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased
