Tectonic Re‐Organization and Onset of South Caspian Escape Tectonics at 1.8–2.4 Ma

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.
We show that the presently active tectonics of the South Caspian began relatively recently, likely in the range 1.8–2.4 Myr and replacing an older tectonic configuration ending in the Miocene at ~6 Ma. The various short‐lived stages in the destruction of the South Caspian have potential for insight into the late stages of basin closure and the ...

Macro‐ and micromorphological insights into Iranian Onobrychis subgenus Onobrychis Miller (Fabaceae): exploring fruit traits for taxonomic clarity

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study provides a comprehensive examination of fruit morphology and micromorphology characteristics of 28 populations of Onobrychis subgenus Onobrychis taxa from Iran, using both light and scanning electron microscopy. For each trait, 25 replicates were analyzed, encompassing a wide range of qualitative and quantitative traits.

Squills vs. Hyacinths – A revised genus delimitation in Hyacinthinae (Hyacintheae, Scilloideae, Asparagaceae) based on phylogenomics

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Scilla s.l. (Asparagaceae: Scilloideae) represents a notable Mediterranean geophyte radiation, yet genus delimitation in subtribe Hyacinthinae has long suffered from inconsistent and conflicting generic concepts. A limited set of informative morphological characters and recurrent shifts in circumscription have repeatedly hindered progress ...

Molecular phylogeny, biogeography, and taxonomy of Afro‐alpine Poa species of sub‐Saharan Africa and Madagascar

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract We conducted phylogenetic analyses of Poa focused on Afro‐alpine species from sub‐Saharan Africa and Madagascar. We analyzed three plastid regions (matK, trnC‐rpoB, trnT‐trnL‐trnF) and two nuclear ribosomal (nr) regions (ITS, ETS) for 194 samples and 117 species of Poa. We present new DNA data for 93 samples, including 33 samples of seven Afro‐
