Portulaca abscondita (Portulacaceae, Caryophyllales), a new microendemic species from Monte Azul, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Portulaca (Portulacaceae) is a cosmopolitan genus with centers of diversity in Africa and South America. In Brazil, 22 species are recognized, most occurring in xerophytic environments of the Cerrado, particularly in Campos Rupestres. These rocky montane habitats, especially in northern Minas Gerais state, remain undercollected despite their high ...

New Species and Distributional Synthesis of Apatelodidae (Lepidoptera: Bombycoidea) From the Brazilian Cerrado

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Brazilian Cerrado is a threatened biodiversity hotspot, but its Lepidoptera fauna remains poorly documented. Here, we provide the first comprehensive distributional synthesis of Apatelodidae in the Cerrado, integrating museum collections and verified citizen science records. We document 56 species, including five new taxa: Raoni hiprore sp.

Environmental and Chemical Factors Determining the Structure of Leaf Litter Sporulating Conidial Fungi Communities in Two Preserved Areas of Brazilian Atlantic Forest

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Brazilian Northeast shelters fragments of the Atlantic Forest that, although historically under‐sampled, are home to a high diversity of organisms. In this context, conidial fungi are crucial for ecological balance, standing out for their role in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling.

The disruption of seed dispersal networks: disentangling the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Botanical diversity as a reservoir of resilience: The emergence of new uses of wild plants under acute food shortages in Karamoja, Uganda

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3066-3079, September 2026.
Abstract Agro‐pastoralist communities in Karamoja, Uganda, face food insecurity driven by climate variability, declining livestock numbers and crop failures. In this context, local ethnobotanical knowledge systems play a central role in subsistence and adaptation.
