The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3640-3655, September 2026.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Vitex oreadica and V. umbellata (Lamiaceae): two new species from Cerrado and Atlantic forest of Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Vitex L. is a pantropical genus of Lamiaceae comprising 209 taxa. Brazil harbors 35 species, representing nearly 50% of the genus richness in the Neotropics, with the Amazon showing the highest richness, followed by the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado domains. Nevertheless, most taxonomic studies of the genus have been conducted in Africa and Asia.

The impact of tropical forests on local climate: Comparing recent research with conservation practitioner information priorities

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2828-2846, August 2026.
Abstract The local‐scale climate impacts of tropical forests (LCIF), such as reducing temperatures and increasing rainfall, are directly relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Strengthening understanding of these local climate benefits can encourage actions to conserve natural forests, with positive implications for climate resilience ...

Forest Responses to Fire Regime in the Humid Chaco of Paraguay

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, July/September 2026.
Fire regimes are increasingly shaping vegetation dynamics in the Humid Chaco of Paraguay, a poorly studied fire‐prone region. Our findings highlight resprouting as a key functional trait associated with fire disturbance. Although vegetation structure varied little among regimes, preserving forest patches may help maintain landscape heterogeneity and ...

Adaptation and Response in Drylands: A Dryland Research Agenda and Campaign Strategy

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
The Adaptation and Response in Drylands (ARID) campaign was selected by NASA as a scoping study to develop a research agenda for a dryland field campaign. Here, we detail our ARID science research agenda and implementation plan that were developed based on an extensive community engagement effort in over 160 events with over a thousand scientists, land

Environmental Drivers and Biogeographic Patterns of South American Endemic Ants: Insights From IUCN Red List Assessments

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim South American endemic ants play a central role in terrestrial ecosystems but remain poorly integrated into continent‐scale conservation assessments. Their distributions and community composition have likely been shaped by past climatic dynamics and persistent refugia.
