Evolution of UV reflection in bee‐ and bird‐pollinated flowers

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 201-214, January 2026.
Pollinators shape floral UV reflection across angiosperms, supporting the bee‐avoidance hypothesis in red flowers and revealing mixed patterns in white and yellow flowers. Abstract Floral colour is a key trait mediating plant–pollinator interactions, with UV reflection hypothesized to evolve in response to the effectiveness of pollinators.

Comparison of four DNA extraction methods in Heliconia (Heliconia L.)

African Journal of Biotechnology, 2018
Molecular analysis in plants requires the use of high quality DNA. Currently, there are a myriad of DNA extraction protocols, which still seems that their applicability across different species is not straightforward. The aim of the present study was to evaluate four different cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-based DNA extraction protocols for ...

Valorization of Waste Grape Pomace: Effects on Growth, Flowering, and Leaf Nutrient Content of Dahlia variabilis sp. “Figaro” Violet

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Composting is a sustainable method widely used in the evaluation of organic wastes, and stabilized soil amendments and growing media can be obtained by this method. In this study, the effects of compost obtained from grape pomace on the growth and development of Dahlia variabilis “Figaro Violet” were investigated by adding 20% and 40% to the growing ...

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2312-2345, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

Understorey bird responses to the abandonment of artisanal gold mining in Guyana

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2774-2786, October 2025.
Whilst many forest‐dependent birds will avoid the exposed mine centre, diversity at the immediate edge has the potential to recover, particularly in smaller and older mines. As we have found that natural vegetation recovery occurs at the mine edges and not within the centre, targeted restoration efforts might focus on mine edges to enhance recovery ...
