Diversity, distribution and conservation of Annonaceae (Magnoliales) in Madagascar

Biological Conservation
Madagascar is a global biodiversity hotspot with extraordinary levels of plant endemism, but its unique ecosystems are increasingly threatened by deforestation and other human-induced activities. Annonaceae is a major pantropical plant family with approximately 2,500 species.Despite its ecological importance, the taxonomic diversity and distribution of

The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2131-2149, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...

Patterns and Drivers of Phylogenetic Beta Diversity in the Forests and Savannas of Africa

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Studying beta diversity, or the variation in species composition among communities, can give insights into plant community assembly over space and time. If different biomes show contrasting large‐scale beta‐diversity patterns, this can indicate divergent evolutionary histories or ecological processes that then drive species turnover among ...

Seed‐dispersing vertebrates and the abiotic environment shape functional diversity of the pantropical Annonaceae

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 2263-2279, June 2025.
Summary Mutualistic interactions between fruiting plants and frugivorous animals are shaped by interaction‐relevant functional traits. However, it is unclear whether ‘trait matching’ underlies broad‐scale relationships in plant and frugivore species and their functional diversity. We integrated novel trait data and global occurrences for c.

Land‐use changes impact root–fungal network connectivity in a global biodiversity hotspot

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 5, Page 1136-1149, May 2025.
Dimensioning the impacts of rainforest transformations below‐ground is constrained by our understanding of fungal functional guilds. Highly modified systems exhibited fewer connections, suggesting a dynamic restructuring of root–fungal relationships in response to land‐use changes.

Phenolic metabolism in Sarcandra glabra is mediated by distinct BAHD hydroxycinnamoyltransferases

The Plant Journal, Volume 121, Issue 5, March 2025.
Significance Statement Four genes and enzymes involved in the formation of hydroxycinnamoyl esters with shikimic, quinic, hydroxyphenyllactic, and benzoic acids as well as amides with hydroxyanthranilic and d‐amino acids were identified in Sarcandra glabra (Chloranthaceae), placed in a sister clade of the magnoliids.
