Shifting in the shadows: Morphofunctional variations of Miconia sellowiana Naudin (Melastomataceae) associated with cave environments

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Cave environments filter plant traits, selecting thinner, smaller leaves with reduced photosynthetic and vascular structures. Abstract Caves present unique ecological conditions that influence the distribution and adaptation of species, yet studies on cave‐associated vegetation remain limited.

Fire intensity effects on flowering and post‐fire bud activity in the endemic savanna bunchgrass Aristida beyrichiana

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Although flowering and bud activity are not significantly affected by fire intensity, wiregrass' bud bank changes with time since fire. Abstract The bud bank of perennial grasses is a key aspect of their reproduction and longevity in frequently burned ecosystems.

Plant accession and insect infestation, rather than silicon supplementation, shape defence strategies of Arabidopsis halleri towards a leaf beetle

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Chemical and mechanical defences of a metal‐hyperaccumulating plant species Arabidopsis halleri were more influenced by plant accession (genetic background) and insect herbivory by a leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae than by supplementation of the metalloid silicon.

Water availability shapes temporal patterns of extrafloral nectar secretion and ant visitation to a Neotropical legume

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Drought duration affects ant–plant interactions: extrafloral nectar quality initially increases and subsequently declines, and ant interaction patterns closely track these nectar dynamics. Abstract Mutualistic plants use non‐structural sugar (NSC) to produce carbon‐based resources to reward partners.

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection

open access: yesPlant 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.
