Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

CardiacDP: An R package for rapid automated cardiac data processing, integrating autocorrelation, a genetic algorithm, and a tracking index

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Heart rate is a popular proxy of physiological responses, but the highly complex and variable cardiac data obtained from organisms such as marine invertebrates pose a major challenge to efficient and accurate data processing. To address this, we developed a novel, integrative algorithm for rapid and automated cardiac data processing.

Effect of population reinforcement method, site, and plant characteristics on early establishment of the rare endemic plant species Minuartia smejkalii

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Many habitat‐specialist plant species have been endangered by fragmentation or destruction of their habitats. Minuartia smejkalii is a serpentinophyte endemic to the Czech Republic. It is highly threatened by recent habitat destruction and fragmentation, calling for effective conservation measures.

Design of a register of melliferous plants in Bulgaria based on literature review and field‐validated records

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Melliferous vegetation in Bulgaria plays a key role in maintaining biodiversity and providing ecosystem services such as pollination. The diversity of melliferous vegetation is essential for the sustainable development of honeybee Apis mellifera colonies.

Distribution under climate change of Anemone coronaria: linking flower colour and seed dispersal

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Flower colour polymorphism is driven by divergent selection regimes on the colour morphs across time and space. Anemone coronaria, a colour‐polymorphic geophyte with red, purple, and white flowers, displays a geographic pattern along Israel's aridity gradient: polymorphic populations are restricted to Mediterranean climates, while monomorphic‐red ...

Deciphering the soybean root rot pathogen Phytophthora sojae: Signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, and effector biology

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review highlights how Phytophthora sojae utilizes unconventional lineage‐specific signaling networks, including unique G protein‐coupled receptor fusions, expanded kinases, and rapidly evolving effectors, to infect soybeans. Understanding these divergent molecular paradigms reveals critical vulnerabilities in this destructive pathogen, offering ...

A transient protoplast expression system for functional gene validation in sugarcane: Focus on drought response and immune pathways

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
We developed a transient expression system for sugarcane using Guitang 42 culm, suitable for various assays such as GCaMP6‐based calcium imaging. This system revealed that ScNCED3 acts as an early drought response signal, positively regulated by ScPYL4‐12, ScOST1‐12, and ScMPK6‐11.

The dominance of non‐native plants over native plants increases with the number of global change factors

Oikos, EarlyView.
Global environmental change and plant invasion are both recognized as key indicators of the Anthropocene. Still, how the number of co‐acting global change factors (GCFs) influence invaded plant communities remains unclear, even though in nature GCFs usually act together rather than alone.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Fruit‐quality tradeoffs generate asymmetry in plant reliance on mutualistic frugivores

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal is a fundamental ecological process influencing the evolution of plant life‐history strategies. In fleshy‐fruited plants dispersed by mutualistic frugivores, variation in fruit traits among closely related species may shape the temporal and spatial dynamics of dispersal events critical to population success.
