Changing Rainfall Drives Locally Asynchronous Reproduction of Tropical Birds via Modular Trophic Pathways

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
In low‐latitude mountains, we found insectivorous bird communities switched from breeding before to after the dry season at a threshold in dry‐season insects. Localized breeding season reversal of insectivores across wet‐to‐dry gradients magnified short‐term effects of drought and contrasted with the seasonal stability of nectar‐fruit consumers.

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Ethnobotanical Evidence of Medicinal Plants Used for Peptic Ulcers in Tanzania: A Systematic Review

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Medicinal plants (MPs) are essential to rural communities in low‐ and middle‐income countries. However, knowledge of the use of MPs for peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in Tanzania remains limited. This review aims to document the traditional knowledge and MPs used by Tanzanians to treat and manage PUD.

Shedding Light on Shining Leaf Chafers: Rutelinae MacLeay, 1819 (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea, Scarabaeidae) as a Neglected Group of Pollinators

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1584-1599, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The interactions between insects and angiosperms date back to millions of years ago. Among the groups of pollinating animals, it is estimated that insects are responsible for pollinating more than 70% of angiosperms. Coleoptera is one of the most studied insect groups for pollination.

Expelled by the Antarctic ice: Evolutionary history of the tribe Cunonieae (Cunoniaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1441-1457, November 2025.
Fossil calibration reveals recent radiations and biogeographical history of the Cunonieae tribe. The most densely sampled phylogeny indicated Antarctica and Patagonia as areas of origin, confirming the reestablishment of Pterophylla and revealing the northward movement of Weinmannia into the tropical Andes.
