Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1304-1321, July 2026.
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1223-1237, July 2026.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Digitising biological collections to advance National Species Inventories: A case study from the flora of Chile

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1210-1222, July 2026.
In response to Chile's public policy to establish a national biodiversity inventory and monitoring system, we launched the HerbarioDigital.cl portal. We have digitised over 120,000 specimens representing more than 3,900 species from two Chilean herbaria, integrating them through a curated local taxonomic index.

Toxicity of aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. about Euphorbia heterophylla L.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6196-6206, July 2026.
Aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. strongly inhibit Euphorbia heterophylla L. germination and early seedling growth, but show mild phytotoxicity on mature plants, paradoxically promoting biomass via antioxidants. Abstract BACKGROUND The escalating challenge of herbicide‐resistant weeds, exemplified by Euphorbia heterophylla L.

Prenatal diagnosis of cardiac rhabdomyoma: implications for predicting tuberous sclerosis complex and guiding perinatal management

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 88-98, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify prenatal predictors of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in fetuses with one or more cardiac rhabdomyomas (CR), evaluate an integrated multimodal diagnostic workflow using fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and trio whole‐exome sequencing (trio‐WES) and characterize perinatal outcomes.

Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Challenging and diagnosing structured population models by testing predictions from stochastic demography

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2234-2252, July 2026.
Abstract Structured population models are parameterized to accurately project expected population sizes, stage/state distributions and population growth rates, but they also predict the variation in outcomes among individuals, such as the variance and skewness of lifetime reproductive output (LRO) and lifespan, the probability of never reproducing, and
