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

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
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

Cross‐ploidy hybridisation in Alpine woodrushes is associated with ecological additivity and scale‐dependent niche divergence

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Genetic differentiation among the study species. Summary Hybridisation and whole‐genome duplication (WGD) are widespread in plants, yet their ecological consequences remain challenging to predict. In allopolyploids, where both processes coincide, ecological divergence is typically evaluated against a null hypothesis of ecological additivity.

Divergent trajectories of genome architecture and chromosome evolution in ferns and angiosperms

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Variation in key fern genomic traits across families, mapped onto a summary phylogenetic tree. Summary Ferns and angiosperms represent the two largest vascular plant lineages but exhibit striking genomic and ecological contrasts. We investigated whether differences in genome size, chromosome architecture, GC content, and stomatal traits reveal ...

First records of Boreolithothamnion astragaloi and Boreolithothamnion soriferum (Hapalidiales, Rhodophyta) from Japan with the characterization of Boreolithothamnion japonicum from Hokkaido based on molecular and morpho‐anatomical analyses

open access: yesPhycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Boreolithothamnion is a non‐geniculate coralline red algal genus distributed in cold to warm temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Since the establishment of the genus in 2023, following the redefinition of the genus Lithothamnion, its species diversity and distribution of Boreolithothamnion in Japan needed to be reassessed.
