Comparative analysis of plastomes in Oxalidaceae: Phylogenetic relationships and potential molecular markers [PDF]

Plant Diversity, 2021
The wood sorrel family, Oxalidaceae, is mainly composed of annual or perennial herbs, a few shrubs, and trees distributed from temperate to tropical zones. Members of Oxalidaceae are of high medicinal, ornamental, and economic value.

Genomic Traces of the Fruit Fly Anastrepha obliqua Associated with Its Polyphagous Nature [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is an important pest in the neotropical region. It is considered a polyphagous insect, meaning it infests plants of different taxonomic families and readily colonizes new host plants. The change to new

Metabarcoding Reveals Fine Scale Patterns of Trophic Resource Use and Partitioning Along Gradients of Land Use and Deer Density in a Multi-Species Ungulate Community. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We used DNA metabarcoding of 2,568 fecal samples to examine seasonal diets and resource partitioning among four deer species (moose, roe deer, red deer, fallow deer) across two Swedish landscapes. Deer consumed a wide range of plants, but diets were typically dominated by a few key taxa, with distinct dietary separation between moose and smaller deer ...

An Analysis of Vegetation and Microbiome Recovery in Abandoned Agricultural Fields. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigated the natural recovery of biodiversity in formerly cultivated fields in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, by comparing plant and bacterial communities across different successional ages. We found that diversity levels in old fields began to resemble natural conditions for both community types, indicating a positive recovery ...

Convergent losses of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in carnivorous plants. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Most land plants form the ancient arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, while carnivory is a younger trait that evolved in several angiosperm orders. The two biotic interactions similarly help plants acquire mineral nutrients, raising the question of whether they can coexist.

Biology and Management of Oxalis (Oxalis stricta) in Ornamental Crop Production

EDIS, 2015
Oxalis grows throughout the year in Florida. It can be found growing in sidewalk cracks, alongside trails, in lawns, flower beds, cultivated fields, and in container nursery stock.

Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased

Pilliga Ghosts: The Novel Fungi of the Rivers, Creeks, Lakes, and Dams of the Narrabri Region, Australia

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Freshwater systems of the semi‐arid Narrabri region, Australia, are hotspots of novel fungal and eukaryote diversity, dominated by zoosporic fungi and unclassified lineages. ITS‑based DNA and water chemistry analyses across various water bodies revealed strong seasonal patterns, a scarcity of aquatic hyphomycetes that may reflect environmental ...

Dispersal and delimitation: Phylogenomics of Connaraceae prompts revised generic delimitation in Cnestideae and reveals global biogeographic patterns

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The tempo and mode of assembly of the world's most diverse, tropical floras remain poorly known. Evolutionary relationships within pantropical plant clades such as Connaraceae (Oxalidales, ca. 220 species) offer an opportunity to address this issue.

Optimizing seeding ratios of field pea–brown mustard intercrops in Atlantic Canada

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Intercropping is a promising approach for ecological intensification that can enhance productivity and agroecosystem services. This study evaluated the agroecological performance of field pea (Pisum sativum) and brown mustard (Brassica juncea) intercropping across seeding ratios (0.5×, 1.0×, and 1.5× the recommended rates; 100 seeds m−2 ...
