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 ...

gen. et sp. nov., a fossil fern in the family Pteridaceae (Polypodiales) from the Cretaceous amber forests of Myanmar [PDF]
, 2019 Divergence time estimates suggest that most clades constituting the fern family Pteridaceae (Polypodiales) were in existence by the Early Cretaceous. However, fossil evidence to corroborate this remains exceedingly rare.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

Spore morphology and its systematic implication in Pteris (Pteridaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Pteris (Pteridaceae) spores are usually trilete and can be distinguished by the perine ornamentation. The systematic value of spore morphology in Pteris is unclear, especially based on the renewed infrageneric classification of Pteris.

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Adiantum capillus-veneris L. is known for its bioactive compounds and health benefits. In this study, the physicochemical, functional, and sensory properties of set‐type yogurt fortified with Adiantum capillus-veneris L. extract (ACVE) were evaluated during 21 days of storage. Higher pH values and lower acidity were observed in yogurts containing 0.25%

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.
