Origins Under the Blowtorch: Frequent Fire Shifts the Balance Between Sunda‐Origin and Sahul‐Origin Plant Species in a Tropical Savanna

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We examined the effect of fire frequency on the composition of vegetation of different biogeographic origins, to understand how frequently an ecosystem can be subject to fire but still retain its evolutionary diversity. There was dramatic structural and biogeographic change in less than 20 years from dry tropical woodlands into savannas, creating ...

Satellite hindcasts of foliar traits reveal a subtle but consistent relaxation of conservativeness in a biodiverse mountain grassland over the last four decades

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Projected warming and drying raise concerns about the resilience of stress‐adapted ecosystems, including the Brazilian Campo Rupestre, an exceptionally biodiverse mountaintop grassland mosaic on ancient, nutrient‐poor substrates. Here, we combine field‐based trait data and long‐term remote sensing to assess the functional structure and temporal ...

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

Habitat filtering and niche specialization of termite mound herbaceous flora in tropical dry woodlands

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Termite mounds (TMs) are characteristic micro‐ecosystems of tropical dry woodland landscapes. Although their effects on woody plant functional diversity and ecosystem functioning have been relatively well studied, herbaceous communities have received much less attention.

Functional diversity drives leaf decomposition across rainfall–disturbance gradients, but phylogenetic effects vary

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Plant functional traits driving ecosystem functioning can have either similar or distinct evolutionary histories, meaning that both functional and phylogenetic diversity can jointly influence ecosystem dynamics. However, the relative importance of this relationship depends on the environmental context.

Taxonomic Updates of Thismia pseudomelanomitra (Thismiaceae) Reveal an Old Acquaintance From the Ecuadorian Amazon

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Amazon Basin is home to the world's greatest terrestrial biodiversity, but many plant groups remain poorly studied. One example is the mycoheterotrophic genus Thismia (Thismiaceae), which is notable for its highly specialized floral morphology and ephemeral life cycles, making it difficult to detect in the field and limiting its ...
