Taxonomic Updates of Thismia pseudomelanomitra (Thismiaceae) Reveal an Old Acquaintance From the Ecuadorian Amazon

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Amazon Basin is home to the world's greatest terrestrial biodiversity, but many plant groups remain poorly studied. One example is the mycoheterotrophic genus Thismia (Thismiaceae), which is notable for its highly specialized floral morphology and ephemeral life cycles, making it difficult to detect in the field and limiting its ...

Creative Potential Peaks During Ovulation: A By‐Product of Physiological Arousal

open access: yesThe Journal of Creative Behavior, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent studies suggest that women's divergent thinking, an indicator of creative potential, peaks during ovulation, potentially as a signal to attract mates. However, given that arousal is a key factor facilitating creative cognition, this increase may be a by‐product of general heightened arousal during ovulation. This hypothesis has not been

Variation in pollen limitation among reproductive modules points to likely resource reallocation in the alpine plant Veratrum grandiflorum

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Pollen limitation, a decrease in seed production due to insufficient pollen receipt, may influence plant demography and the evolution of sexual systems. Its empirical estimation of pollen supplementation of some of the flowers on an individual is well known to be prone to overestimation due to potential resource reallocation among the individual's ...

Adaptive floral traits that impact stigma pollen load and seed production in Penstemon digitalis (Plantaginaceae)

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Penstemon digitalis is an early spring‐flowering species of the northwest Missouri prairie community, a period often characterized by low and unpredictable bee visitation. We conducted an experimental field study to evaluate how pollinator‐mediated pollen transfer and floral longevity interact to influence pollen acquisition and seed production.

Genomic Evidence Supports the Recognition of Gentianella waipara Comb. et Stat. nov. as a Distinct Species from G. calcis (Gentianaceae)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Gentianella calcis subsp. waipara Glenny & Molloy (Gentianaceae) is endemic to limestone formations in North Canterbury, New Zealand. A previous conservation genetics study of G. calcis Glenny & Molloy and another eastern South Island limestone endemic species, G. astonii (Petrie) T.N.Ho & S.W.Liu, showed that G. calcis subsp.
