Late cretaceous aquatic plant world in Patagonia, Argentina.

PLoS ONE, 2014
In this contribution, we describe latest Cretaceous aquatic plant communities from the La Colonia Formation, Patagonia, Argentina, based on their taxonomic components and paleoecological attributes. The La Colonia Formation is a geological unit deposited

From living to fossil: ancestral state reconstruction of leaf architecture in extant Lauraceae and its relevance for the fossil record

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Lauraceae are a tropical–subtropical angiosperm family that exhibit significant diversity and a rich fossil record, primarily of leaves found worldwide from the Cretaceous to the present. However, the taxonomic placement of many fossil leaves remains uncertain because of morphological convergence and limited variation in leaf characters among ...

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Spermatophyta Molecular Clock: Time Drift and Recent Acceleration

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
Exponential increase in the base substitution rate in recent geologic time. ABSTRACT Angiospermae radiation is widely recognized as a mid‐Cretaceous event, but the adaptive radiation of Asarum and Viola as spring ephemerals also occurred during the Quaternary. To better understand the evolution of Angiospermae through geological time, a robust and well‐

Spatial distribution patterns and formation of global spermatophytes

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 10, Page 2668-2685, October 2025.
The global Spermatophyte Spatial Evolutionary System defines 18 distribution types and six supertypes across three floristic elements, primarily formed between the Eocene and Miocene and shaped by climate, long‐distance dispersal, and tectonic movement, revealing that similar distribution patterns of spermatophytes were driven by comparable formation ...

Omnivorous Diets of Sympatric Duck Species in a Subtropical East Asia Wetland Unveiled by Multi‐Marker DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The East Asian–Australasian Flyway (EAAF) is experiencing significant declines in migratory waterbird populations. Understanding the foraging ecology of waterbird species, particularly ducks, is crucial for monitoring and protecting their food sources and wetland habitats.
