Flowering out of sync: Climate change alters the reproductive phenology of Terminalia paniculata in the Western Ghats of India

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how climate change impacts the plant life cycle is critical for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. Our findings suggest that Terminalia paniculata Roth, a common tropical deciduous tree species in the Western Ghats, is now flowering and fruiting at more scattered times than it used to in the past.

Sex ratio and spatial distribution of Cycas panzhihuaensis in Sichuan Panzhihua cycad National Nature Reserve

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.
The sex ratio of the endemic gymnosperm Cycas panzhihuaensis is determined by the potential sex‐determining gene MADS‐Y. The study examined the sex dimorphism and spatial distribution of male and female individuals. The genotypic sex ratio of the C. panzhihuaensis population is balanced. Additionally, there is a significant clustering effect in spatial
