Oikos, EarlyView.Climate change increases the recurrence of drought events with strong repercussions on grassland ecosystems. While the effects of single drought events on ecosystem structure and functioning are well understood, it is largely unknown whether and how recurrent drought events modify ecosystem responses to subsequent drought.

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores
Oikos, EarlyView.Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Legume plants can interact with nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) simultaneously, forming a tripartite symbiotic association. Co‐inoculation studies performed on a variety of legumes have shown that rhizobia and AMF influence each other when they co‐occur in tripartite association and affect host plant ...

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Infection by root hemiparasites can increase mortality of parasites during future infection, indicating induced host defence mechanisms. Abstract European grassland plants are frequently attacked by root hemiparasites. However, little is known about host defence responses to parasitism.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Premise Evolutionary theory predicts polymorphism should be rare; however, intraspecific variation in floral color is common and can be attributed to genetic drift, plasticity, or variable selection. Examining floral color polymorphism both within contact zones and across a species' range can reveal the mechanisms maintaining this variation ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The initial comparative plastome analysis of 10 Artocarpus species in China lays the groundwork for regional evolutionary research. Investigated of inverted repeat (lR) boundary variations, particularly the incomplete duplication of the ycf1 gene, elucidating mechanisms underlying genomic divergence.
