Can Airborne eDNA Be Used to Assess the Impacts of Invasive Species on Biodiversity?

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.
We sequenced airborne eDNA to target plant and arthropod communities in woodlands with an invasive forest pest present and woodlands with no known infestations. We did not find differences in plant communities; however, we found site differences in the arthropod communities between the infested and non‐infested sites.

Saussurea × media (Asteraceae), a new natural hybrid between S. parviflora and S. controversa

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.
Saussurea × media Yusupovsky and E.Pjak (Asteraceae), a new nothospecies from the Altai‐Sayan Mountains, is described and illustrated. In this study, we sequenced the internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA and the chloroplast intergenic spacers rsp16‐trnQ and ycf4‐cemA to verify the hypothesis of hybridization between Saussurea parviflora

Chamaecrista marinasilvae sp. nov. (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae): a threatened new species from the deforestation frontier of the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.
During a field expedition to the Jalapão region (Tocantins State, Brazil), a morphologically distinct specimen was collected and identified as a new species, Chamaecrista marinasilvae. Further herbarium investigations revealed additional collections of this taxon from the same state that had been misidentified as Chamaecrista juruenensis.

The assembly of floral fungal communities in multihabitat landscapes

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.
The extent to which deterministic versus stochastic processes assemble floral fungal communities remains an ongoing ecological question. Three classic hypotheses from ecological theory that may contribute to floral fungal community assembly are: (H1) species sorting and environmental filtering when fungal community composition differs by plant species,

Harnessing the nutritional potential of Cape wild edible plants: Insights, gaps and priorities

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2089-2101, November 2026.
Wild edible plants hold significant potential to strengthen food systems by enhancing nutrition, dietary diversity, climate resilience, sustainability and deeper connection of people to their food. In this study, we conducted a systematic literature review to identify knowledge gaps and assess the nutritional contributions of selected wild edible ...

A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2205-2216, November 2026.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...
