Canscora agni (Gentianaceae), a new species from the fire‐prone Indian savannas

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
We describe Canscora agni from the Indian savannas as a distinct species which differs from its allied species Canscora alata in having fewer and shorter leaves, pedicel‐wings unequal across the length, bracts with glandular hair on the margins, calyx‐wings being four, wider, up to 2.3 mm, with distinct reticulate venation and having ovary length up to

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

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
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 ...

Guapira leucophylla (Nyctaginaceae, Caryophyllales), a new species from the northern Espinhaço Range of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Guapira Aubl. (Nyctaginaceae, Pisonieae) comprises dioecious shrubs and trees widely distributed in the Neotropics and occupying diverse habitats. In the Brazilian Cerrado, the genus occurs in several phytophysiognomies, including Campos Rupestres, a montane rock ecosystem with high levels of endemism but still marked by significant gaps in botanical ...

Eriope barrinhae (Lamiaceae, Hyptidinae), a new montane species from northern Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
In northern Minas Gerais, in the Monte Azul region, the Pico da Formosa mountain remains poorly explored botanically despite recent discoveries of new taxa. During fieldwork at the summit of this mountain, we discovered a distinctive population of Eriope that differs from all known species by a unique combination of morphological characters.

Floral resource‐mediated multilayer networks: structure and pollinators' roles

Oikos, EarlyView.
Resource availability shapes interactions among free‐living species, particularly in plant–pollinator mutualisms, where the composition of floral resource types influences pollinator foraging. Bees, known for utilizing a broad array of floral resources, play a crucial role in these dynamics. However, how the structure of interaction networks vary among

Habitat loss reshuffles ecological and evolutionary interactions in a seed dispersal network

Oikos, EarlyView.
In tropical forests, habitat loss reshapes species composition, favoring generalists and recently emerged lineages while specialists and older evolutionary lineages are lost. However, how changes in species ecological attributes and evolutionary history affect ecological processes is poorly explored.

Drivers of individual plant species contributions to β‐diversity are scale‐dependent

Oikos, EarlyView.
Species introductions and local extinctions of native species are driving biotic homogenisation in plant communities by reducing β‐diversity. Individual species vary in their contributions to β‐diversity (species contribution to β‐diversity; species‐β), yet our understanding of how species characteristics shape these contributions remains limited ...

Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...
