Persicaria amphibia, an old traditional remedy and wild edible herb: In vitro evaluation of cytotoxicity and antimicrobial properties [PDF]
Botanica Serbica, 2023 Persicaria amphibia (subfam. Polygonoideae), an aquatic macrophyte rich in dietary polyphenolics, is used as a traditional remedy and culinary herb. Nevertheless, P. amphibia from the Balkan region has been insufficiently studied and underutilized. Here,

Major Low-Molecular-Weight Metabolites from Freshwater Aquatic Macrophytes: Ecological Aspects [PDF]
MoleculesFreshwater macrophytes shape not only the morphological “architecture” of shallow-water ecosystems but also their chemical milieu via low-molecular-weight organic compounds (LMWOCs) that may regulate phytoplankton, periphyton, and the microbiome within ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Plant-Soil-Enzyme Interactions in Intertidal Wetlands. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study reveals that during the exposure period in the Shengjin Lake intertidal wetland, the temporal gradient serves as the primary driving force for changes in the plant–soil–enzyme system, followed by alkaline phosphatase activity, nitrate nitrogen, and pH.

King rail (Rallus elegans) home range and microhabitat characteristics in western Lake Erie coastal marshes. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We studied microhabitat and home‐range characteristics of the king rail, a secretive marsh bird of conservation concern, in the western Lake Erie region. Our results suggest that king rails in the region have mean home‐range sizes of 8.8 ha (±1.63 [SE]; range = 1.9 to 15.8) and utilize water depths of 6 to 17 cm within dense vegetation.

Developing and Validating Species Distribution Models for Wetland Plants Across Europe. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe fitted species distribution models (SDMs) for 265 wetland plant species in Europe. We validated predicted occurrences using independent data. The SDMs showed a high predictive performance, such that our SDMs can be used to predict broad‐scale distributions of wetland plants.

Wild Bee Assemblages and Pollination Networks of Managed Emergent Wetlands in Central New York, USA. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWetlands are underrepresented in wild bee surveys yet we find they host a diversity of bee species and offer important late‐season floral resources. Wetland restoration and management for wildlife in the northeastern United States creates a matrix of freshwater wetland habitat that helps support the landscape's wild bee fauna.
