Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9266-9279, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

Testing the Dry Refuge Model: Paleoecological Insights From Late Pleistocene Gomphotheres in Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present paleontological evidence that may prove the Dry Refuge Model in Ecuador during the Late Pleistocene. ABSTRACT Paleoenvironmental records indicate that Neotropical regions near the Equator experienced reduced rainfall during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, some records show conflicting environmental signals.

Eriope barrinhae (Lamiaceae, Hyptidinae), a new montane species from northern Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
In northern Minas Gerais, in the Monte Azul region, the Pico da Formosa mountain remains poorly explored botanically despite recent discoveries of new taxa. During fieldwork at the summit of this mountain, we discovered a distinctive population of Eriope that differs from all known species by a unique combination of morphological characters.

Water and Gas Exchange Responses of Five Related Blueberry Species (Ericaceae spp.) to the Dry Season in the High‐Andean Forest of the Colombian Eastern Cordillera

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vaccinium, Cavendishia, and Macleania are typical genera of blueberries from the Ericaceae belt, a narrow ecosystem that connects the high Andean forest and páramo, where fragmentation makes the species more vulnerable to climate change. To answer the question of whether five related blueberry species could physiologically behave similarly in ...
