Recent vegetation shifts in the French Alps with winners outnumbering losers

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3275-3292, November 2025.
Analysing 11 million records of 4250 French Alps plant species over 30 years shows that one‐third expanded their range, dominated by thermophilic and fast‐colonizing species, while 13% declined. Most species showed little response, with potential shifts lagging behind climate change. Our study deepens our understanding of the complex dynamics of recent

Rhizosheath Characteristics of Annual Ephemerals in Sandy and Gravelly Habitats of Northern Xinjiang Deserts

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
The rhizosheath is an important root trait that plays a critical role in enhancing plant uptake of water and nutrients, contributing to the adaptation of plant species to specific environmental conditions. This study investigates the formation and characteristics of rhizosheaths in annual ephemeral plants in the desert environment of northern Xinjiang ...

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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
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 ...

The Linnaean revolution – A history of the Natural System

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 74, Issue 5, Page 1011-1034, October 2025.
Abstract A very brief history of the Natural System (NS) is presented, focusing on angiosperms. The account is divided into four parts. The first, “Setting the stage”, gives an outline of my understanding of evolutionary ontology and how this reflects on taxonomy.

Arctic‐Boreal Bryophyte Dynamics Since the Last Glacial Inferred From Ancient DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigates the main changes in bryophyte diversity and composition during the last 30,000 years in arctic and boreal ecosystems. Turnover in biological and ecological trait compositions of recorded bryophytes is assessed to explore changes in dominant life‐strategies and habitats.

Spatial distribution patterns and formation of global spermatophytes

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 10, Page 2668-2685, October 2025.
The global Spermatophyte Spatial Evolutionary System defines 18 distribution types and six supertypes across three floristic elements, primarily formed between the Eocene and Miocene and shaped by climate, long‐distance dispersal, and tectonic movement, revealing that similar distribution patterns of spermatophytes were driven by comparable formation ...

Saxifraga rufescens var. rufescens (Saxifragaceae): A New Addition to the Flora of India

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 136, Issue 3, Page 152-155, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Saxifraga rufescens Balf.f., a species of Saxifragaceae, previously known from China and Myanmar, is now recorded from Nagaland, India. This study offers detailed morphological descriptions, habitat characteristics, field photographs, distributional data, and an analysis of its taxonomic relationships with closely related species, facilitating

First report of Aylax hypecoi (Hym.: Cynipidae: Aylacini) from Iran with some notes on its biology and parasitoids [PDF]

open access: yesنامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2012
The herb gall wasp, Aylax hypecoi Trotter, is recorded as new for the Iranian cinipid fauna. The specimens were collected from induced galls on fruit-like pods of Hypecoum pendulum L. (Papaveraceae) in Urmia region. The A. hypecoi-H. pendulum association

Floral Origin Determines the In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Bee Pollen Collected From Western Oromia, Ethiopia

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 325-334, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Bee pollen has been used as a medicine and food supplement. The biological activity and nutrient composition of bee pollen depend on its floral origin. Therefore, it was aimed to determine the phenolic and flavonoid content and antibacterial activities of methanolic (99.9%) extract of bee pollens among flora. Floral origin was identified using
