Environmental changes on grass flowering phenological trends (2000–2021)
Climate change is impacting the flowering of grasses, which in turn impacts the health of people due to allergic reactions triggered by grass pollen. The timing of flowering was studied for 15 grass species across various habitats in the Cordoba region of Spain.

Grass functional traits reflect the long history of fire and grazers in the savannas of Texas
Abstract Premise Understanding relationships among grass traits, fire, and herbivores may help improve conservation strategies for savannas that are threatened by novel disturbance regimes. Emerging theory, developed in Africa, emphasizes that functional traits of savanna grasses reflect the distinct ways that fire and grazers consume biomass ...

The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems
ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...

Kranz distinctive cells in the culm of ArundineUa (Arundinelleae; Panicoideae; Poaceae)
The transectional anatomy of photosynthetic flowering culms of Arundinella berteroniana (Schult.) Hitchc. Chase and A. hispida (Willd.) Kuntze from South America and A. nepalensis Trin. from Africa is described and illustrated. The vascular bundles are arranged in three distinct rings, the outermost being external to a continuous sclerenchymatous ...

Biology, Ecology, Distribution and Management of Large Crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis)
ABSTRACT Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. (large crabgrass) is a globally distributed annual C4 grass and one of the most challenging weeds in agriculture, causing significant yield losses in crops such as maize, soyabean, rice, cotton and vegetables. This species thrives under favourable and unfavourable conditions such as disturbed soils, fluctuating

Life history of Manataria maculata (Lepidoptera: Satyrinae) from Costa Rica
The life history and early stages of the satyrine butterfly Manataria maculata are described and illustrated from Costa Rica. Eggs are laid on Lasiacis sp. (Panicoideae), a new non-bamboo host plant for the genus Manataria.

Saprotrophic Capabilities of Neurospora crassa on Charred Plant Biomass
Despite growing on charred biomass in nature, Neurospora crassa cannot degrade charred wood or grass better than non‐fire‐associated decomposer fungi (Gloeophyllum trabeum, Trametes versicolor). It likely proliferates on charred biomass by rapidly colonising heat‐sterilised substrates after heat‐ or smoke‐induced spore germination and then consuming ...

Hyperspectral leaf reflectance of grasses varies with evolutionary lineage more than with site
Abstract To predict ecological responses at broad environmental scales, grass species are commonly grouped into two broad functional types based on photosynthetic pathway. However, closely related species may have distinctive anatomical and physiological attributes that influence ecological responses, beyond those related to photosynthetic pathway ...
