Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 221-234, April 2026.The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 648-660, April 2026.Summary Hybridization and polyploidy are major drivers of plant diversification, often accompanied by shifts in gene expression and genome composition. Small RNAs (smRNAs) are thought to influence such genomic changes, particularly through their interactions with transposable elements (TEs).

Homogenisation of Vegetation in Irish Semi‐Natural Grasslands
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.A re‐survey of 12 Irish grassland sites revealed a decrease in species number and an apparent shift towards homogeneity of species diversity over the last 12–15 years. This raises concerns about management and species diversity/conservation. ABSTRACT Grasslands represent an important source of vegetative diversity and provide a range of important ...

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

Preservation biases in the fossil record distort species ecological niche and distribution models
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Ecological niche models (ENMs) increasingly leverage the fossil record to understand species' environmental associations and predict their geographic distributions. However, fossils do not occur uniformly through time and space, which can compromise the robustness of ENMs and thus affect ecological conclusions. Here, we assessed how preservation biases

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.The graphical abstract illustrates a flower classification model relying on the human visual system. The model captures images, simulates visual attention and photometric perception, extracts features of shape and color, and classifies flowers by using an optimized neural network that enhances recognition accuracy by mimicking the human eye's focusing ...

Allogamy, metaxenia and hybrids in orchids, what do we know about it?
Botanical SciencesOrchids are a diverse group of plants, also manifested in their great diversity of flowers. Despite this, orchids are pollinated either through autogamy or allogamy (geitonogamy and xenogamy). Although there are some autogamous orchids, the majority are

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Bau djinna is described as a new species from Central Sarawak and compared with three species to which it is most similar. Recognition of B. djinna takes the genus to 27 species, 25 of which are endemic to Borneo. A brief note is provided on Schismatoglottis ambigua, a recently published name synonymous with Bau inculta.

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Recent field work in Niue has recognized the terrestrial orchids Calanthe amboinensis (Blume) M.W.Chase, Christenh. & Schuit. and Liparis barbata Lindl. and the epiphytic Aeridostachya robusta (Blume) Brieger as new indigenous records. Liparis L.C.Rich. and Aeridostachya (Hook.f.) Brieger are new genera for the flora of Niue, while Calanthe R.Br.

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.Drought stress (DS) is the most damaging climatic factor that hinders the growth and ornamental quality of floricultural crops. Improving the floricultural crop's ability to withstand DS is of great importance to the ornamental plants industry. Moringa leaf extract (MLE) as a biostimulant has been reported to improve the DS tolerance in various ...
