Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The conservation of pollinators is essential for sustaining the ecosystem services of pollen transfer, which support crop production, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.

A framework linking silicon fertilisation, plant silicification and soil carbon cycling

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, food security, and climate change mitigation. We reviewed how silicon (Si) fertilisers, commonly used to improve plant health, may also influence SOC dynamics. We developed a framework linking Si and SOC and discussed the possibility of Si‐mediated plant changes contributing to SOC sequestration.

Genetic diversity and population structure of pedunculate oaks (Quercus robur) in Wytham Woods

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity underpins forest resilience and adaptation, yet centuries of human activity have reshaped woodland ecosystems worldwide. We studied the population genetics of pedunculate oaks (Quercus robur) in Wytham Woods, UK, across stands with different ages and management histories.

Harnessing entomopathogenic fungi: A meta‐analysis on their role as plant growth promoters

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Our meta‐analysis highlights the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) as sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilisers. By promoting plant growth and reducing reliance on agrochemicals, EPF can support healthier crops, minimise environmental contamination and improve profitability within food production systems.

Chloroplast genome diversity and phylogenetic insights of Saccharum spontaneum across Southeast Asia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change and threats to global food security have increased the urgency of conserving genetic resources in key crops like sugarcane. In this study, we analyzed the chloroplast genomes of wild sugarcane to assess their genetic diversity and population structure. We found a high level of diversity, regardless of geographic location, and patterns of

Connecting the dots: Network structure as a functional trait in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil health and sustainable land management are critical to addressing global challenges such as food security, climate resilience, and biodiversity loss. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form underground networks that enhance plant nutrient uptake and improve soil structure, yet their functional diversity remains poorly understood, limiting their ...

Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased

Genus Alternans in the Early History of Ibero‐Romance: Textual Evidence from Early Medieval Iberian Peninsula

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This study revisits the diachrony of the Latin neuter gender in early Ibero‐Romance. The fate of the Latin neuter is counted among the most long‐standing and yet the most controversial questions in Romance historical morphosyntax. While there has been a long‐held belief that neuter nouns merged into the masculine gender in late Latin after ...
