Passiflora quimiana, a new species from the Cordillera del Cóndor: Ecuador's far‐flung frontier
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.A new species of Passiflora subgenus Decaloba, supersect. Decaloba, from the Cordillera del Cóndor in Ecuador, is described and illustrated, with its morphological similarities to other species being discussed in this paper. Passiflora quimiana exhibits the unique combination of narrow ovate to long‐oval leaves and small foliaceous bracts ...

Fertilisation of Orchids [PDF]
Nature, 1873 MR. DARWIN, in his “Fertilisation of Orchids,” speaks of a Madagascar orchid (Angraecum sesquipedale) with nectaries 11½ inches long, and supposes that these plants must be fertilised by the efforts of huge moths, with probosces capable of such expansion, to obtain the last drops of the nectar which is secreted in the lower part of these whip-like ...

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

A Soft‐Containing Gripper for High‐Speed Handling of Breadcrumb‐Coated Oysters
Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1976-1990, August 2025.ABSTRACT Soft grippers have been developed for handling a diverse array of objects, particularly excelling in grasping deformable and soft food items due to their soft and flexible nature, which is essential for preventing damage. However, the development of soft grippers capable of operating at extremely high speeds, typically achieving a pick‐and ...

TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract Species can be difficult to circumscribe using morphology alone, and additional data can thus be useful for resolving challenging species complexes. Here we provide a case study of a South African orchid species complex which we resolved by analysing morphology, floral scent chemistry and molecular data.
