Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1644-1655, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

Anthropogenic nitrogen addition interrupts seasonal connectivity and structures of plant–pollinator networks

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1878-1891, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

The pollination ecology and mouthpart morphology of a pollen‐feeding fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Diptera: Lauxaniidae) in the Australian Alpine

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 214-225, June 2026.
The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

Phylogenetic Diversity and Community Assembly of Vascular Plants Along Environmental Gradients in the Western Pamir–Alay: A Case Study From Surkhandarya Province, Southern Uzbekistan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using extensive field, herbarium, and database records, we examine patterns of species richness, phylogenetic diversity, and community assembly along elevational and climatic gradients in an understudied region of Central Asia. ABSTRACT Biodiversity plays a fundamental role in ecosystem structure, function, and stability, but its response to ...

Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Polyphagous Alpine Grasshoppers Includes Invasive Plant Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The diets of three sympatric grasshopper species were compared using mandible morphological analysis, microhistological examination, and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents. Although mandible morphology differed across species and sexes, dietary divergence was not evident.

IUCN Red List Regional Assessment of the Flora of Niue Utilising Indigenous Local Knowledge and Botanical Information

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
A regional assessment of the indigenous vascular plants of Niue is presented using the IUCN Red List criteria. The assessment was undertaken during a community workshop that drew on the indigenous local knowledge and scientific information. The assessment comprised 197 named taxa and 8 indeterminate entities, with 4 (2.0%) taxa assessed as Extinct and ...

Anti‐Lipogenic Effects of Iridoid‐Rich Lonicera caerulea Berry Extracts in a Cortisol‐Stimulated Adipocyte Model

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Berries of Lonicera caerulea (blue honeysuckle; haskap) have been used since ancient times in traditional medicine in China, Japan, and northern Russia. This study aimed to extract, characterize, and evaluate the biological activity of iridoid‐rich fractions from haskap berries using an in vitro adipocyte model.

Assembly of Australia's Alpine Seed Plant Flora

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT To characterise the assembly of Australia's distinctive native alpine seed plant flora. Past events when species were sequestered into the alpine habitat from warmer climates and/or distant regions were identified using published phylogenies and distribution information.
