Phylogenetics of Clusia sect. Criuva (Clusiaceae) unveils a new species, reinstates an old name and clarifies sectional circumscription

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Clusia sect. Criuva has long been a taxonomic catch‐all, particularly in the final decades of the 20th century, when misapplications conflated eastern Brazilian taxa with species from the Guiana Shield. We combine herbarium‐based genome skimming, targeted fieldwork, and critical examination of historical literature and types to reassess ...

Update on Ouratea cidiana Sastre (Ochnaceae), a microendemic species from the Amazon: enlightening the identity and conservation status

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Ouratea cidiana (Ochnaceae) is a microendemic shrub species from the Brazilian Amazonia, occurring along the banks of the Trombetas River and restricted to the Cachoeira Porteira region, in western Pará State. Since the original collection nearly forty years ago, no additional records have been made, which is concerning given the continuous decline in ...

Enrichment Probe Sets Combining Universal and Lineage‐Specific Targets Help Resolve Recalcitrant Lineages

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The combination of target capture sequencing (TCS) with low‐coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS), an approach known as Hyb‐Seq, has allowed the integration of natural history collections into the genomics revolution, transforming biodiversity research. To implement Hyb‐Seq, a collection of genomic targets is needed to design probes.

Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 350-362, June 2026.
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...

Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1399-1420, May 2026.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Chloroplast Genomes of Croton alabamensis and Croton bonplandianus (Euphorbiaceae): Comparative Analysis With Related Croton Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Croton chloroplast genomes exhibit substantial structural diversity driven mainly by asymmetric inverted repeats (IRs) contraction and expansion, despite highly conserved gene content. IR boundary shifts predominantly involved the LSC region, indicating an LSC‐driven evolutionary pattern. The preliminary phylogenomic analyses confirmed the monophyly of

Dispersal and delimitation: Phylogenomics of Connaraceae prompts revised generic delimitation in Cnestideae and reveals global biogeographic patterns

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The tempo and mode of assembly of the world's most diverse, tropical floras remain poorly known. Evolutionary relationships within pantropical plant clades such as Connaraceae (Oxalidales, ca. 220 species) offer an opportunity to address this issue.
