Reproductive systems of Hohenbergia Schult. & Schult.f. (Bromelioideae: Bromeliaceae) endemic to the Atlantic forest

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Many species of the Bromeliaceae are under threat due to the fragmentation and anthropogenic pressure affecting the Atlantic Forest highlight the need to conservation efforts. The genus Hohenbergia deserves special attention in this context, as the Hohenbergia stellata complex includes endemic species that rely on diverse reproductive strategies, which

Passiflora quimiana, a new species from the Cordillera del Cóndor: Ecuador's far‐flung frontier

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Passiflora subgenus Decaloba, supersect. Decaloba, from the Cordillera del Cóndor in Ecuador, is described and illustrated, with its morphological similarities to other species being discussed in this paper. Passiflora quimiana exhibits the unique combination of narrow ovate to long‐oval leaves and small foliaceous bracts ...

Adaptive sampling for ecological monitoring using biased data: a stratum‐based approach

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Indicators of biodiversity change across large extents of geographic, temporal and taxonomic space are frequent products of various types of ecological monitoring and other data collection efforts. Unfortunately, many such indicators are based on data that are highly unlikely to be representative of the intended statistical populations.

The ecological memory of landscape complexity shapes diversity of freshwater communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Land use change affects the biodiversity of terrestrial landscapes as well as of the freshwater systems they surround, and thereby numerous ecosystem services that are essential for human well‐being. Previous research suggests that freshwater systems show delayed responses to abrupt disturbances such as deforestation, however less is known about ...

Contrasting patterns of land use by resident and migratory bird assemblages in a tropical working landscape

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The spatial configuration and management of agricultural and other land‐use practices can affect ecological assemblages. However, the differences in how resident and migratory birds respond to land‐use are remain unclear, hindering our understanding of bird biodiversity responses to land use.
