High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Hidden Gems: Using Collections in Museums to Discover the Motivations of Collectors
Collections: A Journal for Museum and Archives Professionals, 2021 Motivations and drives for collecting have varied through time. From amassing as many examples of different species or artefacts in the sixteenth century to highlighting the importance and strength of the British Empire in the eighteenth century. General trends are seen across historic collections in museums. In an attempt to understand the motivations

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The identity of sterile floral organs in second‐whorl, alternisepalous positions within Caryophyllaceae remains contentious, having been described as staminodes, “petaloids,” or petals homologous with those of other Pentapetalae. Limited ingroup and outgroup sampling and floral developmental data and inadequate phylogenetic comparative

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Root hemiparasites form haustoria in belowground roots of hosts to extract nutrients and water from the surrounding hosts. Through parasitic symbiosis, these plants disproportionately affect plant communities relative to their abundance by reducing host size, altering nutrient flow, and eventually increasing local biodiversity.

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.
