Integrating target capture with whole genome sequencing of recent and natural history collections to explain the phylogeography of wild‐growing and cultivated cannabis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cannabis has been used by humans for millennia, resulting in diverse landraces and uses. Its complex legal status and economic importance make sampling wild‐growing populations difficult, limiting past studies to modern cultivars with low genetic diversity. Our research provides crucial insights into the genetic diversity of wild‐growing and cultivated

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

Molecular phylogeny, genome sizes and chromosome numbers in melic grasses and its relatives (Pooideae, Poaceae) with a revised classification of the genus Melica

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Melica comprises around 90 species, which are widespread throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world. In contrast to numerous species complexes in the grass subfamily Pooideae, the genus Melica forms a very homogeneous group of mainly diploid species with a uniform basic chromosome number of x = 9.

Correctable or not? The case of plant epithets derived from the Elbrus/Elburs Mountains in Iran, with further notes on taxonomic grey literature

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant name epithets (as well as names of other organisms governed by the ICN), which are derived from geographic names, are not correctable when their original spelling was intentional and based on contemporary linguistic realities, even if it is currently considered outdated.

Synching with seasonality: Predicting roe deer parturition phenology across its distributional range

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using an unprecedentedly large data set on roe deer parturition dates, our study shows that elevation and Colwell's metrics of environmental predictability enhance the prediction of the timing of parturition across Europe, compared to using latitude and elevation alone.

State of the Field: The History of Masculinities

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This State of the Field article discusses how, when and why the history of masculinities has emerged since the 1980s, and why it continues to be an important research field today. The article begins with the field's multiple origin stories and then discusses its expansion in chronology, geography and theme, as well as newer directions for ...

Past, present and future distributions of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) under climate change projections.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Species distribution models can help predicting range shifts under climate change. The aim of this study is to investigate the late Quaternary distribution of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) and to project future distribution ranges under different ...
