Electrostatic Charge on Flying Hummingbirds and Its Potential Role in Pollination. [PDF]
Electrostatic phenomena are known to enhance both wind- and insect-mediated pollination, but have not yet been described for nectar-feeding vertebrates. Here we demonstrate that wild Anna's Hummingbirds (Calypte anna) can carry positive charges up to 800

Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory
ABSTRACT The mechanisms of fern dispersal are under‐studied and there are few data to support the vectors assumed to drive patterns of sporophyte occurrence and speciation. Although wind is generally the fern spore dispersal vector described in the literature, there has always been competing evidence supporting alternate vectors.

Tip‐to‐base conduit widening maintains hydraulic efficiency in aerial fern organs
Summary Tip‐to‐base conduit widening is critical for hydraulic efficiency; yet few studies have investigated the full developmental potential of xylem. We utilized the diverse growth habits of ferns to test whether a wide developmental potential of xylem is constrained by growth habit.

Malycorins A-C, New Lycopodium Alkaloids from Lycopodium phlegmaria
A novel C(19)N-type Lycopodium alkaloid, malycorin A (1) consisting of a serratinane skeleton with 2-propanol unit has been isolated from the club moss Lycopodium phlegmaria, together with two new C(16)N-type alkaloids, malycorins B (2) and C (3), and the structures and relative stereochemistry were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data.
