Underground allies: Mycorrhizal flexibility facilitates orchid occurrence in post‐mining landscapes

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Epipactis helleborine associates with largely habitat‐specific fungal communities, with limited overlap between mining and woodland sites, yet maintains comparable genetic diversity across habitats. These results highlight the role of mycorrhizal flexibility in enabling habitat shifts and expanding ecological niches in human‐altered landscapes ...

Floral adaptation and modular trait evolution associated with a shift from bee to hummingbird pollination

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

Limited restoration of plant microbiomes: insights from fungal assemblages of a peatland dominant

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Plants are not solitary organisms; they host diverse and largely unexplored microbiomes that shape their health, adaptability, and ecosystem roles. Recent environmental sequencing findings have revealed that each plant species harbors a unique fungal assemblage.

Environmental and Evolutionary Correlates of Extinction Risk in a Global Biodiversity Hotspot

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We show that larger genera have a greater number of threatened and near‐threatened species, and that extinction risk is uncoupled with evolutionary history (diversification, speciation, extinction rates and lineage age). The decoupling of diversification rates and lineage age with current extinction risk suggests drivers of extinction risk are ...

Taxonomic Revision of Corsia (Corsiaceae) Reveals Over‐Estimated Mycoheterotroph Diversity in Papuasia: 25 Species Become 10

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Corsia (Corsiaceae) is a remarkable genus of achlorophyllous, fully mycoheterotrophic plants distributed across New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Northern Australia. The genus has often been considered an example of adaptive radiation amongst mycoheterotrophic plants, with 25 narrowly endemic species, most known from just one or two ...

Young adventures in orchid conservation

open access: yesLankesteriana, 2015
Esta conferencia decribe el trabajo empezado por un Colegio Británico único, que se ha concen- trado intensamente en el campo de la conservación de las orquídeas para crear el Proyecto de Orquídeas del Colegio Writhlington. A través de la perspectiva de uno de los estudiantes con más experiencia en el proyec- to, se analizan los resultados de ...

The Global South's OCBIL Theory Helps Elucidate Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation in Biological and Cultural Diversity

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ecological theory has been shaped disproportionately by studies conducted in young, disturbance‐prone, relatively fertile landscapes (YODFELs), mostly in the Global North. Yet, many megadiverse regions in the Global South are dominated by old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (OCBILs), resulting in fundamentally different patterns that ...
