Assembly of Australia's Alpine Seed Plant Flora

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT To characterise the assembly of Australia's distinctive native alpine seed plant flora. Past events when species were sequestered into the alpine habitat from warmer climates and/or distant regions were identified using published phylogenies and distribution information.

Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 924-938, April 2026.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

Two Southern Hemisphere species on two continents, one rarely collected, one undescribed, form a moth family without hearing organs (Lepidoptera, Geometroidea, Apoprogonidae stat. rev.)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
The systematic placement of the South African Apoprogones hesperistis Hampson and southern South American Ona australis gen. et sp. n. has been controversial. Based on mitogenomes, phylogenomic data and morphological evidence, we classify both taxa to the moth family Apoprogonidae stat. rev., whose members lack abdominal hearing organs.

Nature vs nurture in the leaf morphology of Southern beech, Nothofagus cunninghamii (Nothofagaceae) [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2003
•  Leaf morphology varies predictably with altitude, and leaf morphological features have been used to estimate average temperatures from fossil leaves. The altitude-leaf morphology relationship is confounded by the two processes of acclimation and adaptation, which reflect environmental and genetic influences, respectively.

Bryophyte community composition is influenced by microhabitat and cover of vascular plants and lichens in New Zealand montane forest

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 573-596, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Bryophytes are important to terrestrial ecosystems, as they build soil and improve habitats for vascular plants. We investigated the influence of substrate pH, light, and cover of lichens and vascular plants on bryophyte communities in different microhabitats near the Lewis Pass.

Anthoxanthum odoratum (Poaceae) as a bioindicator of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi abundance prior to native revegetation on agricultural soils

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2213-2223, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Mycorrhizal fungi, which form symbiotic associations with plant roots, can be critical to the successful establishment of plants. Up to 90% of land plant species form associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which develop fungal structures inside host roots.

Phenotypic similarity between fruits of Gevuina avellana (Proteaceae) and wasp-induced galls of Nothofagus dombeyi (Nothofagaceae) does not protect fruits from predation by rodents

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018
Fruits of Gevuina avellana (Proteaceae) seem to mimic wasp-induced galls of Nothofagus dombeyi (Nothofagaceae) to escape predation by rodents, which may change both spatially and temporarily.

Viability of seed balls for large‐scale restoration of native plant communities in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 1115-1131, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aerial seed broadcast by aircraft is a promising approach to ecosystem restoration and land rehabilitation over large, remote, and inaccessible areas. Aerial seeding has been used internationally for forest and grassland restoration since the 1930s but is not commonly applied to ecosystem restoration in New Zealand. Advances in unmanned aerial

Using Genome-Wide SNP Discovery and Genotyping to Reveal the Main Source of Population Differentiation in Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb.) Oerst. in Chile

International Journal of Genomics, 2016
Within a woody plant species, environmental heterogeneity has the potential to influence the distribution of genetic variation among populations through several evolutionary processes. In some species, a relationship between environmental characteristics

Landscape drivers of recent fire activity (2001-2017) in south-central Chile. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
In recent decades large fires have affected communities throughout central and southern Chile with great social and ecological consequences. Despite this high fire activity, the controls and drivers and the spatiotemporal pattern of fires are not well ...
