Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...Najla Bastos Scheidegger, Raquel C.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...Ana Luiza Silva Rocha, Anselmo Nogueira, Matheus Colli‐Silva, Juliana Gastaldello Rando +3 morewiley +1 more sourceOpen letter: The need for a site‐based biodiversity standard measuring and certifying impacts from nature‐based projects
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature.David Bartholomew, Paul Smith, Marcello De Vitis, George Gann, Amarizni Mosyaftiani, Hadeel Abdalqader, Lawrence Abel, Lucy Adhimabo, Anita Aerts, Laxmi Aggarwal, Raheela Ahmed, Silvia Alvarez‐Clare, Tefy Andriamihajarivo, Annelies Andringa‐Davis, Harshavardhini Angappan, Jose Aranda‐Pineda, Ibone Arregi, William Baker, Kiran Baldwin, Ash Baron, Graciela Barreiro, Megan Barstow, Dunia Basciu, Sandagdorj Bayarkhuu, Nienke Beets, Alejandro Bejerano, Inna Birchenko, Chris Birkinshaw, Irene Bisang, Stephen Blackmore, Aaron Boers, Roderick Bouman, Richard Bradley, Pedro Brancalion, Elinor Breman, Elise Buisson, Collins Bulafu, Antonia Burchard‐Levine, David Burslem, Rainer Bussmann, Anna Calle‐Loor, Clare Callow, Cameron Covill, Christian Camara, Vito Emanuele Cambria, Fernanda Cardoso, David Carr, Fabian Carriconde, Naomi Carvey, Theodora Chan, Genevieve Chavarot, Mang Cheuk, Tarun Chhabra, Vivek Chopra, Brett Chrystal, Emily Coffey, Rebecca Cole, Brian Colleran, Adriana Comte, Matteo Contardo, Carly Cowell, Dimitri D'helft, Anabel da Gama, Sarah Dalrymple, Guilherme de Castro Ramos, Andrés De la Rosa Portilla, Sebsebe Demissew, Richard Deverell, Mauricio Diazgranados, Sharif Durzi, Elizabeth Dutra, Thomas Erler, Lauren Eserman, Ilaria Fantozzi, José Fernández Zeballos, Anne‐Marie Frankland, Ethan Freid, Pierre Gaches, Stephan Gale, Rachael Gallagher, Marta Galloni, Maraeva Gianella, Andrew Gichira, Moses Gichua, Thomas Gichuru, André Giles, Teresa Girao da Cruz, Orlik Gomez Garcia, Susan Gould, Barbara Gravendeel, Coskun Guclu, Stephane Hallaire, Kate Hardwick, Yvette Harvey‐Brown, Olivier Hasinger, Billy Hau, Kayri Havens, Mats Havström, James Hearsum, Melanie Heath, Andrew Hector, Viola Heinrich, Robert Heinzman, Ryan Hills, Michele Hofmeyr, Karen Holl, Daniel Hribar, Alex Hudson, Stanislav Hybler, Mael Jaonasy, Sebastian Javan, Jonathan Jenkins, Xiaohua Jin, Wincate Kagane, David Karanja Wambui, Yogita Karpate, Olga Kildisheva, Roeland Kindt, Anneleen Kool, Christian Kroll, Yayan Kusuma, Katia Laffusa, Tom LeBreton, Stacey Libra, Alona Linatoc, Cristina Lopez‐Gallego, Quentin Luke, Víctor Luna Monterrojo, Gunwant Mahajan, Itambo Malombe, José Mamani, Gustavo Martinelli, Raul Martinez, Beatriz Maruri‐Aguilar, María Mata Quirós, Donna McGinnis, Wander Meijer, Simon Milne, Marilou Montemayor, Paul Morris, Micah Muema, David Mulwa, Teresiah Mungai, Mutegeki Musa, January Muthoka, Tobin Mutiso, James Mwamodenyi, Abdo Nassar, Jennifer Neale, Angie Ng, Veronicah Ngumbau, Madhura Niphadkar, Fadhili Njilima, Randrianarivony Noromalalaharivelo, Ari Novy, Florence O'Sullivan, Alfonso Orellana‐Garcia, Victor Otieno, Range Palodang, Ignacio Pascual, Mykhailo Paslavskyi, Kato Paul, Jennifer Peach, Norma Piedra Leandro, Chris Polatin, Zulukumzuk Pongen, Thibaud Poulain, Jessica Prieto, Johny Rabenantoandro, Sanjana Radhakrishnan, Jeannie Raharimampionona, Fortunat Rakotoarivony, Brice Rakotozafy, Toky Ralainaorina, Narindra Ramahefamanana, Navalona Ramanambohitra, Kali Ramirez, Eliana Ramos, Fidisoa Ratovoson, Simplice Razafindranaivo, Lalao Razafitsalama, Paul Reed, Leighton Reid, Darren Reidy, Hai Ren, Carole Renner, Jorge Reyes‐Betancort, Candace Reynolds, Iñigo Ricalde, Malin Rivers, Ranaivo Roger, Katherine Ross, Lucy Rowland, Jennifer Rowntree, Michael Roy, Jimmy Rui V., Jan Sala, Narkis Morales San Martín, Emiliano Sánchez Martínez, Duncan Sanders, Ayebare Saviour, Nicola Schoenenberger, Udo Schwarzer, Assini Silvia, Eliud Simfukwe, Monal Singh, Toral Shah, Nancy Shaw, George Smith, Linnea Spears‐Lebrun, Vanja Stamenkovic, Paul Stuart‐Smith, Wawan Sujarwo, Brett Summerell, Alex Summers, Michael Szuter, Mariana Tadey, Hatem Taifour, Vikash Tatayah, Evert Thomas, Stewart Thompson, Anselme Tilahimena, Gilles Tilman, Adriane Tobias, Peter Tomsovic, Michael Toohill, Hanna Tornevall, Nami Traeholt, Mathews Tsirizeni, Michelle Tustin, Collins Tweheyo, Tiziana Ulian, Estela Vallejo, Pieter van Midwoud, Flor Vázquez Corzas, Laura Vedovato, Sarina Veldman, Yuriy Vergeles, Danilo Viana Lima, Andrew Vovides, Piet Vroeg, James Walsh, Aparna Watve, Leland Werden, Murphy Westwood, Oliver Whaley, Aru Wiecek, Brett Wilson, Dustin Wolkis, Hailu Wondu, Peter Wyse Jackson, Michael Yadrick Jr., Wei Yan, Pamela Zevit, Juliana Zuluaga Carrero +254 morewiley +1 more sourcePast, present and future of local crop evolution
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).Nataly Allasi Canales, Philippa Ryan, Amy Jackson, Hong Phuong Le, James Borrell, Aaron Davis, Rafal M.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic Andrés Barea‐Márquez, Guillaume Besnard, Miguel González Ximénez‐Embún, Carlos García‐Verdugo, Concepción M.
