Draft genome of Puya raimondii (Bromeliaceae), the Queen of the Andes

Genomics, 2021
Puya raimondii, the Queen of the Andes, is an endangered high Andean species in the Bromeliaceae family. Here, we report its first genome to promote its conservation and evolutionary study. Comparative genomics showed P. raimondii diverged from Ananas comosus about 14.8 million years ago, and the long terminal repeats were likely to contribute to the ...

So Young, So Rich: Habitat Shifts Combined With Trait Evolution Promoted Species Radiation in Senecio in the Andes

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The outstanding Andean biodiversity has been linked to the occurrence of evolutionary radiations that are common among high‐elevation plant lineages. One of the most iconic examples is found in the species‐rich genus Senecio, with an impressive variation in growth forms and habitat preference.

Marcescence and prostrate growth in tree ferns are adaptations to cold tolerance

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 6, June 2025.
Cold tolerance strategies in plants vary from structural to biochemical permitting many plants to survive and grow on sites that experience freezing conditions intermittently. Although tree ferns occur predominantly across the tropics, they also occur in temperate zones and occasionally in areas that experience sub‐zero temperatures, and how these ...

‘Chimes of resilience’: what makes forest trees genetically resilient?

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 1934-1951, June 2025.
Summary Forest trees are foundation species of many ecosystems and are challenged by global environmental changes. We assemble genetic facts and arguments supporting or undermining resilient responses of forest trees to those changes. Genetic resilience is understood here as the capacity of a species to restore its adaptive potential following ...

Who is at risk for weight gain after weight‐gain associated treatment with antipsychotics, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers: A machine learning approach

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, Volume 151, Issue 3, Page 231-244, March 2025.
Abstract Background Weight gain is a common side effect in psychopharmacology; however, targeted therapeutic interventions and prevention strategies are currently absent in day‐to‐day clinical practice. To promote the development of such strategies, the identification of factors indicative of patients at risk is essential.

Through the eyes of the Andean bear: Camera collar insights into the life of a threatened South American Ursid

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
This study used a camera‐equipped GPS collar on a male Andean bear in southeastern Peru, revealing rare behaviors like courtship, novel diets, and geophagy. These findings from the Kosñipata Valley provide valuable insights into the poorly understood ecology of Andean bears and suggest many areas for further research.
