Plant Phylogenetic History, Not Diversity, Drives Insect Biodiversity Across South Africa's Biomes
ABSTRACT Aim Insects provide essential ecosystem services, but there is a concern that insect abundance is in rapid decline. Identifying trends in insect biodiversity is challenging because we lack baseline data for most biogeographic regions, and most insect species remain undescribed.

Individual Trees Respond to 40 Years of Climate Change Through Leaf Functional Trait Acclimation
We measured leaf traits from historic and contemporary herbarium specimens collected from the same individual trees in the southern Peruvian Amazon and compared trait changes to local changes in climate which included increasing temperature, decreasing precipitation, and increasing [CO2]. We found significant decreases in leaf mass per area (LMA), leaf
