Evolution of coal-forming plants and floristic restorability of upper paleozoic coals
Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2015 The floristic similarity of coal-bearing deposits of Donetsk, Karaganda, Pechora and Kuznetsk basins is caused by evolution of coal-forming plants of upper Paleozoic and is reflected in the petrographic composition of coals.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.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

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

Detecting extirpation: A localized approach to a global problem
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The global biodiversity crisis stems from a cascading series of extirpations driving species toward extinction. Addressing this crisis requires methods for early detection of extinction at local scales, where communities can mobilize conservation efforts.
