Underground allies: Mycorrhizal flexibility facilitates orchid occurrence in post‐mining landscapes

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Epipactis helleborine associates with largely habitat‐specific fungal communities, with limited overlap between mining and woodland sites, yet maintains comparable genetic diversity across habitats. These results highlight the role of mycorrhizal flexibility in enabling habitat shifts and expanding ecological niches in human‐altered landscapes ...

Floral adaptation and modular trait evolution associated with a shift from bee to hummingbird pollination

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...

Impacts of reclamation approaches on plant establishment in an arid environment during copper mine revegetation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.

Restoration age, distance from reference ecosystems, and host plant feeding guilds shape the diversity of frugivorous butterflies in ecological restoration areas in the Atlantic Forest

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The fragmentation of the Atlantic Forest has caused severe biodiversity loss. In Paraná State, more than 96% of the original vegetation, predominantly semideciduous seasonal forest, has been degraded. Ecological restoration is a key strategy to reverse this scenario, aiming to recover environmental conditions equivalent to the ...
