The Origin and Diversification of Turmerics (Curcuma L.: Zingiberaceae) in Paleotropical Biodiversity Hotspots: The Role of Ancient Hybridisation and Historical Climate Change

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving biodiversity in the Indo‐Malayan hotspots, with a particular focus on the roles of ancient hybridisation and historical climate in shaping species diversity. Location The Indo‐Malayan realm, particularly the Western Ghats‐Sri Lanka and Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspots.

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) as a Potential Biological Control Agent of Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 335-342, April 2026.
First and third instar Chrysoperla externa showed efficient predatory capacity at low R. indica density, but second instar C. externa exhibits a density‐dependent predatory ability. The lacewing C. externa shows promise as a biocontrol agent for R. indica in coconut because it consumed 8362 R. indica females across all its larval instars.

A COMPLEX APPROACH FOR UNRAVELLING MUSACEAE PHYLOGENY AT MOLECULAR LEVEL

open access: yesActa Horticulturae, 2011
Banana and plantain (Musa species, Zingiberales) are a relatively under researched plant group in contrast to their great socio-economic importance and their significance as one of the earliest domesticated crops. The classification of species and clones is hampered by the traditional morphology-based taxonomy, with limited knowledge on specific ...
