Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1572-1588, October 2026.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Phytochemical Characterization of Extracts From Aesculus hippocastanum L. Seeds and Quantification of Saponins Using HPLC‐DAD and a Novel Tensiometric Approach

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Aesculus hippocastanum L. seed extracts prepared according to pharmacopeial methods were comprehensively characterized using HPLC‐DAD‐ESI‐MSn and GC‐MS. Furthermore, a novel bubble pressure tensiometric approach and an HPLC‐DAD method were employed for the quantitative analysis of surface‐active components.

Conservation status of species used in the UK herbal medicine industry

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1692-1701, September 2026.
Given the ongoing biodiversity crisis, sustainable use and management of medicinal plants is critical. We assessed the conservation status, threats and conservation actions of 298 species sold by UK suppliers to medical herbalists. We found that most species used are unevaluated, representing a gap in conservation knowledge, and of those with ...

A step into the shadows: Evolutionary shifts in fruit structure and dispersal strategies in Asian mycoheterotrophic Ericaceae

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1419-1433, September 2026.
This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Leaf‐Branch Coordination of Dehydration Resistance and Tree Invasion Success in Dry Ridge Forests of Subtropical Pacific Islands, Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Across tree species, coordinated structural and functional traits link leaves and branch wood. Native species have denser leaf and wood tissues and higher dehydration‐resistant branches, whereas invasive species have less dense leaf and wood tissues and lower dehydration resistance.

First record of the non-pollinating fig wasp Odontofroggatia galili Wiebes, 1980 from Malta (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae) [PDF]

, 2010
The fig wasp Odontofroggatia galili is reported for the first time from Malta. Odontofroggatia is a non-pollinating fig wasp genus associated with a narrow range of host plant species, among them Ficus microcarpa, a widespread ornamental tree native to ...

Sibling species of the Cotesia inducta complex (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) sympatrically parasitising heterogeneous lycaenid larvae associated with ants

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three sibling parasitoid wasps of the Cotesia inducta (Braconidae) complex attack ant‐associated lycaenid larvae in Japan. Species differ in host range, seasonal host use and feeding habitat. Differences in host‐feeding habitat may contribute to diversification within the Cotesia inducta complex. Abstract Approximately 75% of lycaenid butterfly species

Distributional patterns in Brazilian Serjania (Sapindaceae) Padrões de distribuição nas Serjania (Sapindaceae) brasileiras

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 1990
The present paper analyzes the distribution of Serjania in Brazil, by comparing and contrasting the species occuring in three major phytogeographic regions: the Atlantic coast, the planalto, and the Amazon basin. The Atlantic coast region has the highest

Large‐scale nuclear and plastid phylogenomic analyses inform an updated Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification: APG V

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 845-874, September 2026.
This revision of the APG classification considers the extensive recent analyses of hundreds of nuclear and plastid genes for many angiosperm species. Although previous versions of the APG classification were largely based on uniparentally inherited markers (plastid DNA, largely maternally inherited), there has emerged since APG IV extensive evidence of
