Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.A regional assessment of the indigenous vascular plants of Niue is presented using the IUCN Red List criteria. The assessment was undertaken during a community workshop that drew on the indigenous local knowledge and scientific information. The assessment comprised 197 named taxa and 8 indeterminate entities, with 4 (2.0%) taxa assessed as Extinct and ...

Evolutionary mobility and genetic dynamics of MORFFO genes: shuttling among ancient plant lineages
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1248-1264, April 2026.Summary Plastid genomes (plastomes) of land plants are characterized by their architectural and genic content stability. However, fern plastomes exhibit unexpected dynamism, characterized by the presence of mobile protein‐coding genes (CDS) – Mobile Open Reading Frames in Fern Organelles (MORFFOs). We investigate the evolutionary dynamics of MORFFOs in

Plants and Insect Eggs: First Report of a Katydid Using a Fern as Host for Oviposition
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Ferns are the second most diverse lineage of vascular plants worldwide and are particularly abundant in tropical forests. However, the ecological significance of such remarkable diversity has been often underestimated. In this article, we report for the first time the observation of ferns, specifically Polytaenium cajenense (Desv.) Benedict ...

Validation of the family name Pteridaceae
Webbia, 1982 Summary Recent research has shown that the name Pteridaceae cannot be used even if the family is circumscribed in a narrow sense. A Latin description of the family is provided in order that the name Pteridaceae be qualified to be conserved.

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

Gametophytic phase of "Doryopteris triphylla" (Pteridaceae, Polypodiopsida).
Botanica Complutensis, 2016 Gametophytes of the Pteridaceae are moderately well known but there is still a quite large set of species to describe. Among these is Doryopteris triphylla, a member of the cheilanthoid clade (subgroup hemionitids). The main objective of this work is to describe the gametophyte of D. triphylla.

Undervalued Ecosystems: Ponds Boost Regional Macrophyte Diversity
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Ponds—depressional wetlands with ≤ 2 ha—are largely undervalued worldwide, despite serving as crucial diversity reservoirs. However, the extent to which ponds support diversity at the landscape scale is still underappreciated. Here, we investigate the contributions of ponds to macrophyte beta and gamma diversity in a subtropical wetland ...
