The promise of digital herbarium specimens in large‐scale phenology research
Summary The online mobilization of herbaria has made tens of millions of specimens digitally available, revolutionizing investigations of phenology and plant responses to climate change. We identify two main themes associated with this growing body of research and highlight a selection of recent publications exemplifying: investigating phenology at ...

Invasive Melastomataceae in Seychelles [PDF]
The Seychelles are the only high oceanic islands of granitic origin and their native vegetation is thus of considerable botanical interest. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries widespread clearance for coconut and cinnamon plantations resulted in native forest being confined mainly to montane areas. Cinnamon has proved to be very invasive in

Abstract During their voyage to the Americas (1799–1804), Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland described and collected American flora, fauna, minerals and other objects. After returning to Europe, they published several works, including Monographie des Melastomacées, initiated by Bonpland to classify this complex botanical family.

Ecological change may be a common initiator of evolutionary pollinator shifts
Summary Although evolutionary pollinator shifts are accepted as major sources of floral and species diversity in angiosperms, the mechanisms triggering pollinator shifts remain largely unexplored. In 1970, Stebbins proposed that ecological change may be a common initiator of evolutionary pollinator shifts, but empirical tests of Stebbins' hypothesis ...

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.
