The persistent advantage of model‐based phylogenetic methods for single‐trait prediction

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1032-1041, April 2026.
Abstract Reliable predictions of biological traits support a wide range of applications, from bioprospecting to informing conservation priorities. Given the complexity and diversity of trait evolution, robust methods for trait prediction are essential for drawing meaningful evolutionary inferences from phylogenetic data.

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Ecological Diversity of Summer Maize Weed Species in the Western Mid‐Hills of Nepal

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation in the mid‐hills of Nepal is vital for food security but faces significant yield losses due to weed competition. The two‐year (2023–2024) phytosociological study on summer maize was conducted to assess weed diversity and dynamics in randomly selected 40 farmers’ fields of Puranchaur, Dhikidada, Gharmi, and Lamachaur at ...
