Hoverflies in organic apple orchards in north-western Italy [PDF]

, 2006
A list is given of hoverflies collected by means of Malaise and white sticky traps in two organic apple orchards in north-western Italy. The total number of collected species was 17 and it was compared with literature, in order to discuss differences due

Hybridity of mainly asexually propagating duckweeds in genus Lemna – dead end or breakthrough?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 629-647, April 2026.
Summary The cosmopolitan, mainly vegetatively propagating, organ‐reduced monocotyledonous aquatic duckweeds are the smallest and fastest growing angiosperms, distributed world‐wide and flower rarely in nature. Recently, we reported intra‐ and interspecific hybrids and ploidy variants in the genus Lemna.

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 54-73, April 2026.
Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

Cell wall water shields stomata against falling leaf airspace humidity

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 861-872, April 2026.
Summary Plants lose water by transpiration through stomatal pores. However, it remains a matter of debate whether relative humidity (RH) in the substomatal cavity may fall below saturation and guard cells experience strong differences water potential driven by RH in the cavity.

Phylogeographic and Potential Distribution of Wild Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) in Xinjiang: Insights From Chloroplast/Nuclear DNA and Ecological Niche Modeling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study employed integrated analyses of chloroplast DNA and nuclear genes, which revealed significant divergence in genetic structure between the two genomic compartments in Xinjiang wild apricots, reflecting complex evolutionary processes influenced by natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Population history analyses indicated an absence

Floristic Diversity and Indicator Species Analysis Along Altitudinal Gradients of the Upper Indus Basin, Northern Pakistan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Altitudinal gradients substantially influence floristic diversity and indicator species. Three vegetation communities were identified, each shaped by specific environmental variables. Mantel test shows that altitude, Ca, K, Na are key drivers of species diversity and association.

Adjacent Forests Enhance Spontaneous Revegetation and Phylogenetic Similarity on Mountainous Roadside Slopes: Implications for Ecological Restoration and Forest Edge Management

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The native‐dominated vegetation on roadside slopes primarily originates from adjacent forests, with long‐distance dispersal traits enhancing spontaneous colonization in these disturbed environments. The species composition and phylogenetic similarity between slope and forest communities are significantly influenced by the adjacent forests (species ...

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

Unveiling Diet Preferences and Their Nutritional Drivers Through Metabarcoding: The Case of Alpine Marmot (Marmota marmota L.) in High Altitude Grazed Pastures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota), a crucial component of alpine ecosystems, serves both as a key player in the food chain and as an ‘ecosystem engineer.’ Employing DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, this study investigated the diet composition and foraging strategies of four alpine marmot colonies across diverse alpine pasture ecosystems throughout
