Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Missense Variants in the Second Transmembrane Domain of TMEM17 Disrupt Its Stability and Function and Lead to a Wide Phenotypic Spectrum of Ciliopathies

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 305-315, February 2026.
Missense variants in TMEM17 disrupt its localization and function at the ciliary transition zone, leading to a wide range of ciliopathy phenotypes, from OFD6 and Joubert syndromes to Meckel syndrome. ABSTRACT Ciliopathies are rare genetic disorders characterized by significant genetic and phenotypic variability.

Genetic origins and climate‐induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little

Quantifying the Spatial Footprint of Agriculture‐Driven Edge Effects in a Global Deforestation Hotspot

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
Tropical dry forests face increasing pressure from agricultural expansion, but how this expansion impacts on remaining forests is unclear. We quantified and mapped agricultural edge effects on tree cover, shrub cover, and above‐ground biomass in the Argentine Chaco, a global deforestation hotspot.

Fine‐tuning the buzz: comparing visitation frequency and pollination effectiveness in plant–pollinator networks

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2140-2152, February 2026.
Summary Ecological network approaches have advanced our understanding of how species interactions influence community and evolutionary dynamics. However, a key limitation is that most network analyses rely solely on visitation data, often overlooking functional aspects of interactions.

Variation in responses to temperature in admixed Populus genotypes predicts geographic shifts in regions where hybrids are favored

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1509-1526, February 2026.
Summary Plastic responses of plants to their environment vary as a result of genetic differentiation within and among species. To accurately predict rangewide responses to climate change, it is necessary to characterize genotype‐specific reaction norms across the continuum of historic and future climate conditions comprising a species' range. The North
