Variety in evolutionary strategies favours biodiversity in habitats of moderate productivity [PDF]

, 2011
The mechanism whereby biodiversity varies between habitats differing in productivity is a missing link between ecological and evolutionary theory with vital implications for biodiversity conservation, management and the assessment of ecosystem services ...

A survey of plant and algal genomes and transcriptomes reveals new insights into the evolution and function of the cellulose synthase superfamily [PDF]

, 2014
Background Enzymes of the cellulose synthase (CesA) family and CesA-like (Csl) families are responsible for the synthesis of celluloses and hemicelluloses, and thus are of great interest to bioenergy research.

Lower competition in grasslands and higher facilitation in forests as potential drivers of the higher species richness of calcareous than siliceous communities

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
We tested the hypothesis that, in calcareous and siliceous ecosystems from the wet temperate climate of southwest France, competition primarily explains differences in community composition and species richness in grasslands but that facilitation is more determinant in forests. In a first experiment, we transplanted, in dry and wet years, grass species

Holocene Land‐Use and Climate Forcing of Ombrotrophic Peatland Dynamics in Northwest Estonia

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract We present a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy record from Mustjärve bog, northwest Estonia, covering the past ∼2,500 years. By integrating paleoecological, historical, and climate data, we evaluate how climate and land use shaped peatland hydrology, vegetation, and carbon dynamics.

Serial section videography (SSV): A low‐cost protocol for generating 3D reconstructions of internal plant structure

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 6, November-December 2025.
Abstract Premise Analyzing structural changes along the length of an organ provides insight into its development. However, traditional histological methods are limited by intensive procedures and size restrictions. Micro‐computed tomography (microCT) enables non‐destructive internal imaging along the length of an organ, but high cost, technical ...

First Report of Colletotrichum siamense and Description of Lasiodiplodia adeniicola sp. nov. Causing Leaf Spot on Desert Rose in Brazil

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 173, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT In July 2021, desert rose plants were consistently observed with symptoms of brown spots on the leaves, which coalesced and promoted leaf fall. The causal agent of the disease was unknown. This study aimed to identify the pathogen responsible for the symptoms through morphological and molecular characterisation, as well as pathogenicity tests.
