Exploring the legal, policy, ethical and practical implications of digitisation of botanical and fungal collections

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1076-1086, July 2026.
Societal Impact Statement Dried plant and fungal specimens held in collections provide a unique asset to understand the natural world and inform conservation approaches. By creating freely available, digital images of these collections, these specimens can be used by more scientists from around the globe to ask research questions and apply new ...

Toxicity of aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. about Euphorbia heterophylla L.

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6196-6206, July 2026.
Aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. strongly inhibit Euphorbia heterophylla L. germination and early seedling growth, but show mild phytotoxicity on mature plants, paradoxically promoting biomass via antioxidants. Abstract BACKGROUND The escalating challenge of herbicide‐resistant weeds, exemplified by Euphorbia heterophylla L.

Complete elliptic Fourier descriptor normalization and its application in quantitative morphological analysis

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2123-2134, July 2026.
Abstract Elliptic Fourier analysis (EFA) is often employed in geometric morphometrics (GM), but the normalization of elliptic Fourier descriptor (EFD) has persistently posed challenges for obtaining unique and comparable results, especially in the application of outline‐based GM methods, which limits the implementation in automated analysis of numerous,

Is There Life After Death? The Role of Standing Dead Phorophytes in Supporting Tropical Epiphyte Diversity

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

Individual Trees Respond to 40 Years of Climate Change Through Leaf Functional Trait Acclimation

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
We measured leaf traits from historic and contemporary herbarium specimens collected from the same individual trees in the southern Peruvian Amazon and compared trait changes to local changes in climate which included increasing temperature, decreasing precipitation, and increasing [CO2]. We found significant decreases in leaf mass per area (LMA), leaf
