Multiple Glacial Refugia and Complex Postglacial Dynamics of Primula sikkimensis (Primuaceae) in the Heterogeneous Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Primula sikkimensis persisted in distinct glacial refugia within the Hengduan Mountains and eastern Himalayas during the Last Glacial Maximum. Subsequent postglacial range expansions onto the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau were accompanied by secondary contact and interspecific hybridization, collectively enhancing genetic diversity and adaptive capacity. These

Etude par les isozymes de la pollinisation libre de génotypes d'hévéas sauvages (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) en verger à graines [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2006
Survey of the open pollination by isozymes in a wild rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) seeds orchard. The Côte dʼIvoire has a wild rubber tree population for which an improvement in a seeds orchard is suggested by open pollination.

Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity–Climate–Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco‐Evolutionary and One Health Research

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Freshwater snails occupy a unique position at the intersection of biodiversity, climate, and health. I argue that their ecological plasticity, reproductive diversity, and role as parasite hosts make them powerful yet overlooked model systems for integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics with One Health challenges.

Gradual pollen release in a buzz‐pollinated plant: Investigating pollen presentation theory under bee visitation

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 476-485, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The rate at which flowers dispense pollen across successive pollinator visits is a key functional trait influencing male reproductive success. Pollen presentation theory (PPT) predicts that when pollinators are abundant and actively groom their bodies to collect pollen,

Evolutionary constraints in host shifts: Limited adaptation of Plutella xylostella to cardenolide‐defended Erysimum cheiranthoides

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 501-516, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coevolutionary arms races between plants and insects, in which gains of novel plant defences select for counteradaptations in herbivores, are key drivers of biodiversity.

Natural recovery of genetic diversity by gene flow in reforested areas of the endemic Canary Island pine, Pinus canariensis

open access: yes, 2007
The endemic pine, Pinus canariensis, forms one of the main forest ecosystems in the Canary Islands. In this archipelago, pine forest is a mosaic of natural stands (remnants of past forest overexploitation) and artificial stands planted from the 1940's ...

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
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 ...

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Leveraging Knowledge of Traditional Italian Maize Landrace Diversity to Identify Signals of Local Adaptation

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is the greatest challenge to modern agriculture. It significantly impacts agricultural systems through an increased frequency and intensity of extreme environmental events. Maize, a vital crop for global food security, is particularly vulnerable to these changes, highlighting the urgent need to develop resilient varieties.

Ecological risks of novel environmental crop technologies using phytoremediation as an example: [PDF]

open access: yes
"Phytoremediation is the use of living plants, known as hyperaccumulators which absorb unusually large amounts of metals in comparison to other plants.
