Temperature and the evolution of flower color: A review

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Flower colors brighten our natural world. How and why have they evolved? How might ongoing global warming alter their evolutionary trajectories? In this review, I examine the influence of ambient temperature on the evolution of flower color.

More than flowers: Habitat type, floral resources, and landscape context shape pollinator communities in villages

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Wild pollinator diversity has been widely studied in agricultural habitats and increasingly also in cities, but the value of small settlements like villages in rural areas for pollinators is mainly unknown. Public green spaces and village gardens could serve as refuges from agricultural intensification and habitat loss.

Mowing Modulates the Biotic Filter of Expansive Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Management type and expansive species influence plant community diversity in complex ways. Overall increase of expansive species cover acts as biotic filter in reducing the alpha and beta taxonomic and phylogenetical diversity. However, the filtering effect is modulated by management type, being more intense under mown grasslands.

Phylogenetic Relatedness Determines Heterospecific Pollen–Pistil Compatibility and Reproductive Outcome in the Apocarpous Species Sagittaria trifolia (Alismataceae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study investigates heterospecific pollen (HP) effects in Sagittaria trifolia, an apocarpous plant with an extragynoecial compitum. HP–pistil compatibility and resulting seed set reduction were greatest from phylogenetically close donors, not influenced by origin or pollen traits.

Influence of Sedum Species on Thermal Performance of Green Roofs in a Mediterranean Climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The use of vegetated roofs (green roofs) is a common method for combatting the urban heat island effect and heat-related health consequences. The performance of green roofs depends on the type and composition of its various components, including plants ...

Appropriate sulfur fertilization in contaminated soil enhanced the cadmium uptake by hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii Hance

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The biogeochemical processes of sulfur and heavy metals in the environment are closely related to each other. We investigated the influence of sulfur addition on hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii Hance growth, cadmium (Cd) accumulation, soil Cd ...
