N2 fixation is linked to the ability to encroach in African savanna trees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 517-533, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Encroachment is a globally ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by increasing indigenous tree densities in savanna and grassland. Encroachment has been attributed to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations fertilising tree growth and shifting the competitive balance ...

Molecular species identification with rich floristic sampling: DNA barcoding the pteridophyte flora of Japan.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundDNA barcoding is expected to be an effective identification tool for organisms with heteromorphic generations such as pteridophytes, which possess a morphologically simple gametophyte generation. Although a reference data set including complete

Molecular Classification of Some Plant Taxa Using MatK and trnH-psbA Barcode Genes

open access: yesTürkiye Tarımsal Araştırmalar Dergisi, 2019
The classification of living creatures and the demarcation of living units have been one of the most complex problems encountered as a result of observing experimental and systematic information. For this purpose, researchers have tried to determine the diversity of living creatures by developing many theories and methods.

A Practical Guide for Harnessing Phylogenomics in Biocontrol: Accounting for Topological Uncertainty and Phylogenetic Distance in the Centrifugal Phylogenetic Method and Beyond

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In the genomic era, phylogenomics is playing an increasingly important role in biological control research for prioritising species in host specificity testing, species delimitation, and elucidating the origins of introduced species. This paper outlines key concepts in phylogenomics relevant to biocontrol practitioners and provides practical ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

Reexamination of a putative diploid hybrid Taxon using genetic evidence: The distinctiveness of Phlox pilosa subsp. deamii (Polemoniaceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Premise of research. A number of recent studies have shown that hybridization plays a key role in the evolution of plants and can lead to the development of genetic and taxonomic novelty, even without a change in ploidy level.
