Species Identity Drives Geographic Variation in Leaf Traits and Palatability to a Generalist Insect Herbivore of a Common Invader

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Introduced plants represent unique opportunities to understand how diverse phenotypic traits vary across broad geographic scales. However, clear generalizable principles about genetically based variation in key functional plant traits across geographic clines remain elusive. To address this knowledge gap, we assessed how heritable variation in knotweed

Maximising trait evenness promotes the recovery of plant species richness in managed grasslands

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Land‐use intensification threatens biodiversity, and restoring degraded ecosystems remains challenging due to the difficulty of identifying the rules governing community assembly and dynamics. Investigating the temporal dynamics of trait‐abundance distributions (TADs) along long‐term time series offers a promising approach to disentangle the influence ...

Faster growing and more functionally diverse: global change alters functional trait composition of mountain plant communities in the European Alps

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Understanding how global change reshapes mountain plant communities is essential for predicting biodiversity and ecosystem function in a warming world. Using resurvey data from over 1400 non‐forest vegetation plots across the European Alps, we show that community‐weighted means of key functional traits capturing important dimensions of plant ecological

Adaptations in Sphagnum functional traits in response to increased elevation in karst plateau wetlands

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Sphagnum functional traits serve as crucial indicators of environmental change and are essential for predicting potential alterations in wetland plant functions. However, there exists a significant knowledge gap concerning the response of Sphagnum functional traits and functions to elevation gradients in plateau wetlands. This study, therefore,

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1599-1615, September 2026.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Characterizing How Community‐Level Plant Functional Traits Impact Soil Microbial Diversity

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Functional trait‐based approaches have been suggested for designing functionally diverse plant communities to influence soil microbial community structure and diversity. However, it remains unclear how species‐level plant functional traits (PFTs) and microbial associations translate to community‐level functional trait and soil ...

Dengue Virus Molecular Targets and Antiviral Drug Development: Advances, Challenges and Therapeutic Perspectives

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 33, 1 September 2026.
This narrative review analyzes DENV molecular targets, including structural proteins (C, prM/M, E), non‐structural components (NS1NS5), and host factors, alongside small‐molecule candidates in preclinical and clinical phases. Owing to high structural conservation, the NS2B‐NS3 protease and NS5 (RdRp/MTase) remain primary drug discovery focuses, while ...

Self‐Organization Shapes Divergent Water Use Strategies of Shrubs for Drought Resilience in Drylands

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Differentiation in water use strategies is essential for maintaining the function and resilience of dryland ecosystems. Under prolonged drought, dominant shrubs self‐organize into two typical spatial configurations: scattered with separated individuals and clumped with clustered individuals.
