New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.Geochemical constraints imposed by ultramafic lithologies strongly affect soil and ecosystem development, typically signified by elevated trace element concentrations, nutrient imbalances and reduced biological productivity. In a reconnaissance study, we assessed the variability of soil and ecosystem conditions across a moraine complex with mixed ...

Seagrass species diversity in Tanzania based on morphological and molecular data
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Seagrass diversity along the Tanzanian coast has been documented mainly through morphology, with limited molecular reference data available for Tanzania and the wider Western Indian Ocean. This study combined morphological identification with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

Taxonomic revision of the genus Tzveleviochloa (Poaceae, Aveninae) in India
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.The taxonomy of Tzveleviochloa in India is revised based on morphological evidence, comprehensive observations of herbarium specimens and field records, and several botanical explorations in the study area. The accepted diversity is increased from two to five species, including two recently described species. The genus is distributed in the Western and

Mazus dabieshanensis sp. nov. (Mazaceae) from eastern China
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Mazus dabieshanensis, a newly described species endemic to the Dabieshan Mountains in eastern China, is illustrated and described. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences consistently demonstrate that this new species forms a stable clade with other Mazus species characterized by a pubescent ovary. Morphologically,

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.The Brazilian Cerrado is a threatened biodiversity hotspot, but its Lepidoptera fauna remains poorly documented. Here, we provide the first comprehensive distributional synthesis of Apatelodidae in the Cerrado, integrating museum collections and verified citizen science records. We document 56 species, including five new taxa: Raoni hiprore sp.

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.A fern collection made by T. G. Yuncker on 27 January 1940 from tropical rainforest forest in Niue had only been identified to its genus and lacked a species determination. Yuncker in his 1943 flora referred the collection to Athyrium Roth, whereas W. R. Sykes in his 1970 flora treated it as Diplazium Sw. Examination of the Yuncker 9916 specimen (BISH!)

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.The Brazilian Northeast shelters fragments of the Atlantic Forest that, although historically under‐sampled, are home to a high diversity of organisms. In this context, conidial fungi are crucial for ecological balance, standing out for their role in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly
