Recent vegetation shifts in the French Alps with winners outnumbering losers
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

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 ...

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
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
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
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
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]
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

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
