open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The name Amaranthus tortuosus, a species described by Hornemann in 1819, is currently treated in different ways, either as an accepted name, as a synonym of A. dubius or A. hybridus s.str., or as an unplaced name. In order to clarify its application, we reassessed its taxonomic identity within the genus Amaranthus.

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Abstract The name Carludovica microcephala, basionym of the type species of Dicranopygium (Cyclanthaceae), has long been attributed to J.D. Hooker (1892), based on plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. A reassessment of nineteenth‐century horticultural literature shows that the name had already been validly published 35 years earlier, in
