New Phytologist, 2023 Phytoliths, microscopic deposits of hydrated silica within plants, play a myriad of functional roles in extant tracheophytes-yet their evolutionary origins and the original selective pressures leading to their deposition remain poorly understood. To gain

Non‐seed plants are emerging gene sources for agriculture and insect control proteins
The Plant Journal, Volume 116, Issue 1, Page 23-37, October 2023., 2023 SUMMARY The non‐seed plants (e.g., charophyte algae, bryophytes, and ferns) have multiple human uses, but their contributions to agriculture and research have lagged behind seed plants. While sharing broadly conserved biology with seed plants and the major crops, non‐seed plants sometimes possess alternative molecular and physiological adaptations ...

Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas Físicas y Naturales, 2023 El cambio climático constituye una amenaza para la biodiversidad. La distribución geográfica y la dimensión de sus efectos sobre los individuos y ecosistemas son inciertas, siendo los montañosos los más sensibles al clima. En la presente investigación se

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Our results show that biogeochemical niche conservatism relates to plant species diversification and life form evolution in subtropical forest plants. Furthermore, the strengths of biogeochemical niche conservatism varying among elements and between life forms might be mostly determined by the tempo and mode of OU processes.

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 15, Page 3515-3545, December 2022., 2022 Glacial geomorphology and postglacial landforms, derived from LiDAR‐based digital terrain models, together with radiocarbon‐dated sediment sequences, form the basis for landscape reconstruction spanning c. 2000 years (10,500–8500 cal. bp). After formation of streamlined terrain and ribbed moraine tracts followed intense glaciofluvial activity at ...

Confirmation of Shining Firmoss (Huperzia lucidula; Lycopodiaceae) in Manitoba
Canadian field-naturalist, 2022 The occurrence of Shining Firmoss (Huperzia lucidula; Lycopodiaceae) in Manitoba has been suspected since 1943 but unconfirmed. The discovery at the herbarium of the University of Manitoba of a non-accessioned specimen, collected in Riding Mountain ...

Shared body plans of lycophytes inferred from root formation of Lycopodium clavatum
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Late Silurian to early Devonian lycophytes had prostrate aerial axes, while subordinate organs or subterranean axes were formed around the dichotomies of the axes. The subterranean axes are hypothesized to have evolved into root-bearing axes (rhizophores)

Scrub encroachment promotes biodiversity in temperate European wetlands under eutrophic conditions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022 We examine the effects of encroachment on biodiversity along gradients of soil moisture and soil fertility in open and wooded wetlands in Denmark. Our results support existing knowledge of the importance of nutrient poor, wet mires and meadows for rare species but on former arable lands where restoration of infertile habitats is less feasible we ...
