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

open access: yesActa 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.

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

open access: yesNew 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.

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

open access: yesInternational 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

Transcriptome survey of Patagonian southern beech Nothofagus nervosa (= N. Alpina): assembly, annotation and molecular marker discovery

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background Nothofagus nervosa is one of the most emblematic native tree species of Patagonian temperate forests. Here, the shotgun RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) of the transcriptome of N.

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

open access: yesNew 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.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

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

open access: yesNew 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

Competitive release of invasive frugivorous mammals leads to perverse outcomes for native seed abundance

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3355-3366, December 2025.
Our study provides replicated, experimental evidence that competitor release can result in an unintended and negative conservation outcome: seedfall from indigenous trees decreased when ship rats alone were controlled. Overall, our results support others' recent conclusions that comprehensive pest management strategies are key to maximise the benefits ...

MioVeg1: A Global Middle Miocene Vegetation Reconstruction for Climate Modeling

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Climate models require boundary condition information, such as vegetation and soil distributions because they influence the mean state climate, and feedbacks can significantly influence regional climate and climate sensitivity to CO2 forcing.
