DNA metabarcoding reveals key floral resources for native pollinators in post‐fire landscapes
Abstract Wildfires are a natural disturbance in dry ponderosa pine forest ecosystems, and are increasing in frequency and severity across western North America. The effects of wildfire on biotic and abiotic conditions have important implications for higher trophic levels, including native bees. We sought to quantify the responses of flowering plants to

We report the first discovery of wild double‐flowered populations of the alpine dwarf shrub Rhododendron nivale on the eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. Two geographically isolated populations (> 800 km apart) show nearly identical stamen petaloidy and floral modifications in similar harsh high‐altitude habitats, suggesting possible parallel evolution ...

We examined the effects of seed traits, seed abundance and seasonality on rodent‐mediated seed predation and dispersal of three sympatric oaks in the Qinling Mountains, China. Rodents consistently preferred Quercus variabilis seeds for caching, while Quercus glandulifera seeds were mostly consumed in situ.

Freeze–thaw processes, moisture, and sediment properties control riverbank erosion in boreal–subarctic rivers. Field measurements, geotechnical analyses and monitoring reveal continuous, seasonally driven erosion, while climate projections indicate reduced freezing, potentially increasing erosion risk under warming conditions.

Ethnomedicinal Uses of Thai Legumes (Fabaceae) and Their Potential in Industrial Applications
Thai legumes (Fabaceae) are rich sources of bioactive phytochemicals, including saponins, flavonoids, biochanin A, and daidzein. These compounds contribute to diverse ethnomedicinal properties, including antioxidant, antiviral, anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and cardioprotective activities.
