Change in South Asian Summer Monsoon During MIS7, an Interglacial Complex of the Middle Pleistocene With High Obliquity Forcing

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The South Asian summer monsoon is a major component of the global climate system, yet its response to varying boundary conditions remains debated. We present pollen data from IODP Site U1446 (Bay of Bengal), recording vegetation changes in India's Core Monsoon Zone (CMZ) between 260 and 190 ka, spanning Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 7.

FAMILIA MELASTOMATACEAE

Flora del Bajío y de Regiones Adyacentes, 1993
Familia de relativamente escasa importancia económica. Algunas especies se cultivan con fines ornamentales; otras tienen frutos comestibles, pero en general no muy apetecidos; los troncos de varias de las más robustas son maderables. Los caracteres usados en la clave artificial de géneros son válidos solamente para el área de estudio; la clave no es ...

Flower Feeding and Reproductive Timing in Spix's Night Monkeys (Aotus vociferans): Evidence From Arboreal Camera Traps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This article provides new insights into the diet and reproductive biology of the Spix's night monkeys (Aotus vociferans). This evidence was collected using arboreal camera traps in a tropical mountain rainforest in Southern Ecuador, where documented information on this primate is rare.

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1223-1237, July 2026.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

A pipeline to compile expert‐verified datasets of digitised herbarium specimens for automated plant identification to accelerate taxonomy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1145-1159, July 2026.
Understanding and protecting plant life is essential for tackling the twin challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change. To support this, we have developed a new digital approach that helps identify plant species more quickly and accurately.

Neotropical Cave Entrances as Environmental Filters for Vascular Plant Communities Along Low‐Light and Soil Resource Gradients

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Conceptual representation of cave entrances as ecological filters along the epigean forest–cave continuum in Neotropical quartzite systems. Vascular plant richness declines sharply from the well‐lit, organic‐rich forest toward the low‐light, quartz‐rich cave interior, while community composition and β‐diversity are shaped by the combined effects of ...
