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 ...

On the Importance of Expert‐Informed Variable Selection in Species Distribution Modelling

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are widely used to map species distribution and predict future responses to climate change. While the risk of selecting biologically non‐relevant predictors has been raised, numerous studies continue to fully rely on statistical approaches to automatically select predictors solely focusing on climate ...

Spermatophyta Molecular Clock: Time Drift and Recent Acceleration

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
Exponential increase in the base substitution rate in recent geologic time. ABSTRACT Angiospermae radiation is widely recognized as a mid‐Cretaceous event, but the adaptive radiation of Asarum and Viola as spring ephemerals also occurred during the Quaternary. To better understand the evolution of Angiospermae through geological time, a robust and well‐
