Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

Reassessing climate and pre-Columbian drivers of paleofire activity in the Bolivian Amazon [PDF]

, 2017
A 50,000-year-old sediment core record from Laguna Chaplin is reanalyzed to explore potential paleoecological methods to detect the extent of pre-Columbian disturbance in the Bolivian Amazon.

Effects of elevation and microclimatic temperatures on butterfly–flower interaction networks in a Mediterranean mountain range

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 93-105, January 2026.
We tested how elevation and microclimate influenced butterfly–flower interaction networks at the hottest time of year in a Mediterranean mountain range. Interactions were dominated at all sites by one or two abundant butterfly and flower species, but butterfly networks were more robust to plant species loss at higher elevations. Nectar availability may

Cannabaceae, moraceae and urticaceae [PDF]

Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 1984
Although this is not the procedure followed in most of the contributions to the Northwest European Pollen Flora, this part combines three families. The reason for this is the close resemblance of the pollen grains in these three families that often makes identification of the pollen a problem.
