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

Habitat loss reshuffles ecological and evolutionary interactions in a seed dispersal network
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.In tropical forests, habitat loss reshapes species composition, favoring generalists and recently emerged lineages while specialists and older evolutionary lineages are lost. However, how changes in species ecological attributes and evolutionary history affect ecological processes is poorly explored.
