Comparative plastome analysis of Arundinelleae (Poaceae, Panicoideae), with implications for phylogenetic relationships and plastome evolution

BMC Genomics
Background Arundinelleae is a small tribe within the Poaceae (grass family) possessing a widespread distribution that includes Asia, the Americas, and Africa. Several species of Arundinelleae are used as natural forage, feed, and raw materials for paper.

Effects of post‐fire on seed germination and seedling recruitment of a generalist savanna woody species

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This study evaluated germination, recruitment, and early seedling growth of Vochysia tucanorum through a field experiment based on direct seed deposition into the soil under natural conditions, simulating post‐dispersal environments in burned and unburned areas.

How are we choosing species for direct seeding restoration in megadiverse neotropical landscapes? Recommendations from projects implemented in Brazil

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Direct seeding for ecological restoration is a cost‐effective and scalable method, but its effectiveness largely relies on choosing the appropriate species. Understanding the criteria used to select species is critical for optimizing restoration outcomes, especially in the face of limited resources and ongoing environmental changes.

Taxonomic revision and conservation concerns of the trapezitine genus Croitana Waterhouse, 1932 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) from Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Croitana Waterhouse, 1932 (Trapezitinae) is a small genus of skippers endemic to Australia, with most species restricted to semi‐arid and arid biomes where the larvae specialise on grasses (Poaceae) in the genera Neurachne R.Br., Enteropogon Nees and Austrostipa S.W.L. Jacobs & J.Everett.

Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...

Biochar Mitigates Arsenic Phytotoxicity and Improves Crop Performance in Iron‐Rich Tropical Soils

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The contamination of tropical soils by the highly toxic metalloid, arsenic (As), is a pervasive issue, resulting in declining crop performance due to phytotoxicity. Biochars are gaining popularity as sorbents for contaminants, yet their capacity to ameliorate As phytotoxicity in diverse tropical soil types remains underexplored.

Chitosan–Alginate Seed Encrusting Enhances Salt Tolerance in Sweet Corn

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil salinity is one of the most critical factors limiting global crop productivity, significantly hampering seed germination and early seedling development. This study examined the effects of seed treatment with chitosan and sodium alginate (NaAlg) on seedling growth and physiological responses of sweet corn (Zea mays L.

Performance of Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda Reared on Various Horticultural Crops

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 309-320, April 2026.
The developmental performance and reproductive success of the Australian population of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) were evaluated on five horticultural crops under laboratory conditions. Sweetcorn and bean supported rapid development, lower mortality, and higher fecundity (good performance); whereas capsicum, strawberry, and okra resulted in ...
