Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1223-1237, July 2026.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Reestablishment of Zamia lawsoniana (Zamiaceae, Cycadales), an endemic species of Mexico, with first description of the ovulate strobilus

open access: yesActa Botanica Mexicana
Background and Aims: Zamia, with 86 species, is the most diverse Neotropical cycad genus. In Mexico, 18 species occur, of which 15 are endemics. These taxa are distributed from sea level to 1200 m a.s.l.

Digitising biological collections to advance National Species Inventories: A case study from the flora of Chile

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1210-1222, July 2026.
In response to Chile's public policy to establish a national biodiversity inventory and monitoring system, we launched the HerbarioDigital.cl portal. We have digitised over 120,000 specimens representing more than 3,900 species from two Chilean herbaria, integrating them through a curated local taxonomic index.

Description of the rate‐limiting hydrogen tunneling mechanism for plant 9‐ and 13‐lipoxygenases

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Soybean lipoxygenase (GmLOX1), a plant 13‐LOX, has long been considered a model protein for non‐trivial, quantum hydrogen tunneling in enzyme catalysis. Hydrogen tunneling mechanisms have also been confirmed for LOXs across mammalian, fungal, and bacterial kingdoms.

Automated extraction of leaf mass per area from digitized herbarium specimens

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 896-908, July 2026.
Summary The digitization of vast herbarium collections has made millions of plant specimen images freely available online, which can now be used to generate phenotypic datasets of unprecedented scope. Here, we assess the potential of computer vision tools to automate the extraction of predicted leaf mass per area (LMApred) from digitized herbarium ...

The evolutionary history of the ancient weevil family Belidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) reveals the marks of Gondwana breakup and major floristic turnovers, including the rise of angiosperms

open access: yeseLife
The rise of angiosperms to ecological dominance and the breakup of Gondwana during the Mesozoic marked major transitions in the evolutionary history of insect-plant interactions.

Traditional Respiratory Remedies From Anatolia: Ethnobotanical Insights and Bioactive Properties

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Respiratory disorders, ranging from acute viral infections such as influenza and bronchitis to chronic inflammatory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema, and pneumonia, represent a major global health burden, affecting millions annually. Traditional Anatolian folk medicine has long relied on plant‐based

Heterogeneous Stress Driven by Environmental Filtering Maintains Plant Diversity Along an Arid Riparian Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Environmental stress is generally expected to reduce biodiversity, yet its effects under spatially heterogeneous conditions remain unclear. Along an arid riparian gradient of the Ulungur River, we show that local herbaceous plant diversity peaks in downstream reaches despite severe salinization–alkalization and phosphorus limitation, driven by ...

Biogeografía de la Zona de Transición Mexicana con base en un análisis de árboles reconciliados Biogeography of the Mexican Transition Zone based on a reconciled trees analysis

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2013
Se analizaron las interrelaciones de las áreas de endemismo de la Zona de Transición Mexicana a partir de 3 propuestas de regionalización. Se llevó a cabo un análisis biogeográfico cladístico utilizando el método de árboles reconciliados basado en las ...
