Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Eco‐cultural restoration requires targets that reflect cultural values and ecological conditions. We present an integrative approach combining cultural and ecological baselines to inform future eco‐cultural restoration of Buff weka (Gallirallus australis hectori), a flightless bird of deep cultural significance to the Ōtākou Māori

Wikis as sources of data and signal for the Biodiversity Heritage Library
The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) has over 63 million pages of content, which presents a major challenge: how do we discover content in these millions of pages? To date, discovery has relied on indexing BHL text for taxonomic names (e.g., Global Names) and segmenting scanned volumes into articles (e.g., BioStor).

Lectotypification and Nomenclatural Notes on Four Names in Alismataceae From the Americas
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.Four Alismataceae names from the Americas are investigated. Second‐step lectotypes are designated for Hydrocleys martii and Sagittaria seubertiana according to the Art. 9.17 of Madrid Code. A lectotype is designated for Sagittaria isoetiformis, resolving a 130‐year nomenclatural ambiguity. Finally, the previously proposed neotypification for Sagittaria

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We adopted ddRAD‐seq and chloroplast genome sequencing to explore the genetic characteristics of the danxia‐endemic species Viola hybanthoides. This species exhibits extremely low within‐population genetic diversity and obvious genetic differentiation, which is mainly driven by habitat fragmentation, restricted gene flow and Quaternary climatic changes.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Indigenous Knowledge systems contain deep, place‐based ecological insights developed over generations but remain underrepresented in biodiversity assessments and conservation planning. This study explores yulendji Bunwurrung (Bunurong knowledge) through five Stories shared by a Bunurong Elder, using thematic analysis and comparison with contemporary ...

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)

Systemic bio‐inequity links poverty to biodiversity and induces a conservation paradox
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2700-2719, August 2026.Abstract Biodiversity is declining globally while inequity is growing, and poverty rates are not improving. Global sustainable development and conservation initiatives aim to address biodiversity loss and poverty simultaneously. Through text analysis of global biodiversity policies, we identified a consistent narrative that countries with high ...

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract The name Carludovica microcephala, basionym of the type species of Dicranopygium (Cyclanthaceae), has long been attributed to J.D. Hooker (1892), based on plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. A reassessment of nineteenth‐century horticultural literature shows that the name had already been validly published 35 years earlier, in

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Dramatic Quaternary climate fluctuations impacted the evolutionary history and contemporary biogeography of many residents of the Great Basin Desert of western North America. This study investigates the historical biogeographic processes that shaped the contemporary distribution of genetic variation in a polytypic group of specialized ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT In forest tree populations, the timing of budbreak (TBB) depends on several factors, both environmental and genetic. The genomic architecture underlying this trait is still not fully characterized. So far, common garden experiments have highlighted a few genomic regions with little heritability, while the whole spectrum of TBB variation ...
