AgronomyEcology and adaptive differentiation of Epimedium are central to understanding both its taxonomic complexity and medicinal value. In this study, we integrate transcriptomic and plastid data from four natural populations of E. brevicornu (HZ, QLH, TS, WD)

Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)
Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Scientific results of the Bryotrop expedition to Zaire and Rwanda : 7., life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes from tropical lowland and montane forests, ericaceous woodlands and the Dendrosenecio subpáramo of the eastern Congo basin and the adjacent mountains (Parc National de Kahuzi-Biega/Zaire, Forêt de Nyungwe/Rwanda) [PDF]
, 1995 Life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes are studied along an altitudinal gradient from the eastern Congo basin (tropical lowland zone) to the mountains of the East-African graben (tropical subalpine/alpine Zone; BRYOTROP III-transect).

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Avian malaria poses a growing threat to native Hawaiian forest birds as climate change enables its spread into previously disease‐free areas like Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge. This study presents a proactive, tiered disease management plan to help land managers monitor and respond to malaria risk, offering a model for broader conservation ...

A framework for monitoring ecosystem restoration at landscape scale
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.The Landscape Restoration Monitoring Framework supports large‐scale ecosystem restoration projects to effectively assess progress towards outcomes. It provides guidance for the selection of indicators to assess change at two different time scales and across a diversity of ecosystem, ecosystem service, and socioeconomic dimensions.
