The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2131-2149, October 2025.ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...

Variation and Genetic Structure in Platanus mexicana (Platanaceae) along Riparian Altitudinal Gradient [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015 Platanus mexicana is a dominant arboreal species of riparian ecosystems. These ecosystems are associated with altitudinal gradients that can generate genetic differences in the species, especially in the extremes of the distribution. However, studies on the altitudinal effect on genetic variation to riparian species are scarce.

Robust passive sampling of airborne environmental DNA to monitor plants and animals
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 2118-2130, September 2025.Abstract Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) is a rich resource for understanding biodiversity, but its wider application is hindered by its complex collection methods and unknown sampling time effects. To develop a passive sampling scheme that is effective and convenient, we systematically compared the performance of an array of materials, namely common

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Premise Araliaceae comprise a moderately diverse, predominantly tropical angiosperm family with a limited fossil record. Gondwanan history of Araliaceae is hypothesized in the literature, but no fossils have previously been reported from the former supercontinent.

Urban Tree Growth and Drought Responses Show Evidence of Climate Resilience
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.Urban trees face increasing risks from climate change, including drought and heatwaves, which threaten their growth and survival. By studying 10 tree species across seven Australian cities, we found that local climate strongly influences tree growth, and that some species are well adapted to urban climates.

Pest categorisation of Eulecanium excrescens
EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Following the commodity risk assessments of Acer spp., Malus spp. and Prunus spp. plants for planting from the United Kingdom (UK), in which Eulecanium excrescens (Ferris) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) was identified as a pest of possible concern, the European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of E ...

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 233-244, May 2025.The germination responses of seeds of the four species to temperature, light, and cold stratification reveal the mechanism that delays germination from autumn/early winter (time of seed dispersal) until spring, when conditions are favorable for seedling establishment.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 403-416, May 2025.We compared three tools for assessing invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), host plant usage. Baited traps were deployed to measure populations in tree canopies but found no differences. We tagged insects to track their retention on fruit hosts using harmonic radar; peach and baited apple trees were ...

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Campus trees have significant potential for sequestering carbon in urban environments and improving civic life quality; however, few inventories of university campus trees have been constructed worldwide (excluding North America). This study briefly overviews the current status, challenges, and prospects of inventorying campus trees and ...

Pest categorisation of Morganella longispina
EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Following the commodity risk assessment of Acer palmatum plants grafted on Acer davidii from China, in which Morganella longispina (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was identified as a pest of possible concern, the European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of M.
