A First Indication That Rainforest Vine Proliferation Does Not Enhance Predator–Prey Interactions on the Forest Floor

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1229-1241, October 2026.
Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

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
