Differences in reproductive performance traits of two Platanthera species
The species Platanthera bifolia and P. chlorantha (Orchidaceae) are both declining in Europe, but P. bifolia has been diminishing relatively more. Loss of habitats and landscape heterogeneity due to agricultural intensification or abandonment of less fertile areas are primary drivers of decreasing orchid populations.

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Predicting evolution in response to climate change: the example of sprouting probability in three dormancy-prone orchid species [PDF]
Although many ecological properties of species respond to climate change, their evolutionary responses are poorly understood. Here, we use data from long-term demographic studies to predict evolutionary responses of three herbaceous perennial orchid ...

Sulphur Analogues of Homoisoflavonoids as Potential Treatments for Neovascular Eye Diseases
Neovascular eye diseases are characterised by the abnormal growth of often fragile blood vessels in the eye. Treatment focuses on reducing angiogenesis as well as reducing oxidative stress induced inflammation, a key underlying cause. Synthetic sulphur analogues of naturally occurring homoisoflavonoids, synthesised in three steps, have shown promise as
