Taxonomic insights into Indian Rotala (Lythraceae) species with verticillate phyllotaxy

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
In an effort to resolve taxonomic complexities among Indian Rotala species with verticillate phyllotaxy, this study provides an identification key, revised nomenclature, updated morphological descriptions including SEM studies of seed coat surfaces, detailed photoplates, and notes on phenology, ecology, and distribution.

Hechtia mixtecana sp. nov. (Hechtioideae; Bromeliaceae), from Oaxaca, Mexico

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Botanical explorations carried out in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, led to the discovery of a new Bromeliaceae: Hechtia mixtecana,which is here described and illustrated. The new taxon is compared with the morphologically similar Hechtia fragilis, Hechtia lyman‐smithii, and Hechtia minuta.

Gene Expression Patterns Regulating Peanut Reproductive Phenology

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Peanut reproduction is foundational for crop yield, breeding, and evolution. However, gene regulation underlying peanut flowering pattern and timing has received limited attention. Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) shows two distinct flowering patterns between two subspecies, with ssp.

Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1127-1137, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

Extending plant water‐use strategies to flowers: Evidence from trait correlations across plant organs

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1491-1503, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Despite the importance of flowers to plant fitness, it remains unclear whether flowers display ecophysiological strategies and how floral traits are associated with leaf economic traits.

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

(Not) On the Map: Story‐Mapping Uncertainties in Syrians' Displacement Between Syria and Tunisia

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT One way of challenging hegemonic narratives about migration to Europe is to foreground aspects we do not know for certain. Representations of uncertainties point to a challenge to critical migration researchers: how does human movement exceed predictable responses to borders? This is a conceptual, but also an ethical question, as it compels us

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.
