Reconciling morphological and molecular approaches: The integrative taxonomy of Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) in the Malagasy region

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) is a genus of moss (Bryophyta) that has been poorly investigated in Africa, particularly in the western Indian Ocean region. This study integrates morphological and molecular data to revise the taxonomy of the genus in this area.

Molecular phylogenetics of Thymelaeaceae‐Thymelaeoideae: Resolving the paraphyly of Gnidia and a new monophyletic generic classification for the group

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Earlier phylogenetic analyses of the family Thymelaeaceae using combined plastid (matK, rbcL, rps16, trnL‐F) and nuclear (ITS) regions showed that the African‐Malagasy genus Gnidia was extensively polyphyletic in relation to the southern African genera Lachnaea, Passerina and Struthiola, as well as to other Southern Hemisphere genera such as ...

The loss of an Indigenous‐maintained She‐Oak woodland in southeast Australia

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A 2600‐year multi‐proxy palaeoecological record (pollen, charcoal, and sediment) from Balfour Swamp, east Gippsland, reveals the persistence of an open, grassy She‐Oak woodland maintained by GunaiKurnai. This vegetation community, resilient to climatic variability and fire, was lost following the disruption of Aboriginal land management and replaced by

Hidden Microbiota Inhabiting in Pollen Reserves of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) From Amazonas Region Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
DNA metabarcoding of honey bee pollen reserves from Amazonas region reveals that microbial communities are strongly shaped by their ecosystem. Despite high taxonomic turnover across different habitats, these microbiomes maintain stable, essential functions for pollinator health, though they remain highly vulnerable to habitat homogenization.

“On a tree”, “terrestrial”, or “on the rocks”? Habit diversity in the megadiverse genus Peperomia

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1373-1384, August 2026.
The plasticity of a large proportion of Peperomia species to occupy multiple types of microhabitats is not well documented due to the typically rigid categorization of habitat use. Therefore, the numerical approach presented is methodologically innovative to advance ecological data integration to provide a more realistic visualization of the habitat ...
