Foliar salt spray exclusion and tissue tolerance underlie local adaptation to oceanic salt spray

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Surviving the effects of oceanic salt spray is critical for plants in coastal ecosystems, yet the mechanisms of coastal plant resilience to salt spray are not well understood. We investigated mechanisms of salt spray adaptation by comparing five latitudinal pairs of yellow monkeyflower accessions locally adapted to coastal and inland ...

The status of orchid conservation in China

open access: yesLankesteriana, 2015
Orchids are a flag group in plant conservation. China has not a rich orchid flora, with only about 1200 specie in about 170 genera, but it is distin- guished by having a wider range of broad ecosystem types. On orchid vegetative morphology, a feature reflecting environmental conditions, China has equal numbers of terrestrial and epiphytic (including ...

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesiMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

The conservation of Madagascar’s orchids . A model for an integrated conservation project

open access: yesLankesteriana, 2015
The fauna and flora of the large island of Madagascar, situated in the eastern Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa, has been recognised for many years as one of the most peculiar anywhere in the world, and as one of the most endangered. It has a rich orchid flora of about 1000 species.

Detecting social‐ecological fit in Natura 2000 governance and management: Evidence from LIFE projects focused on forest protected habitat types

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2521-2540, August 2026.
Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...

Evaluating potential restoration strategies for vascular epiphytes with niche‐based community mechanistic models

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Generally, delayed restoration of adult‐only epiphyte populations into older restored forests improves conservation outcomes. However, restoration can be optimised, initially introducing large populations of fast‐growing, light‐when‐mature species in younger forests followed by the later introduction of slow‐growing, heavy‐when‐mature species in ...

Tracing Species Boundaries Through Genomic Baits: Diagnostic SNP Panels for Genotyping Orchid Pollinaria

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Orchidaceae is one of the largest angiosperm families, with extensive floral morphological diversity, complex pollination systems, and frequent hybridization, which complicate species delimitation. Target capture offers a scalable alternative to whole‐genome sequencing for phylogenomic and ecological applications, but operational thresholds ...
