Fruit Traits Reflect Adaptation to Dispersers Along a Tropical Elevational Gradient
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.This study investigates how fruit traits related to frugivore dispersal—specifically diameter, colour and presentation—vary along an elevation gradient in Papua New Guinea. Results showed that fruit diameter decreases with elevation, bird‐attracting colours are more common at higher elevations, and branch‐borne (ramiflorous) fruits increase with ...

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 3167-3181, December 2025.The enzyme coproporphyrinogen III oxidase plastid related 1 (CPOP1) creates a low‐oxygen nodule environment for nitrogen fixation within nodules of Lotus japonicus. CPOP1 makes heme, which helps control oxygen, and acts in infected cells; its knockout raises oxygen levels, suppresses nitrogen‐fixing enzyme activity, and halts nitrogen fixation ...

Automated identification of honey bee pollen loads for field‐applied palynological studies
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1584-1599, November 2025.Summary In a changing world, it is crucial to characterise communities and their evolution over time. Because social insect pollinators forage on flowering plants around the colony, the nest potentially contains important information about the pollinated plants such as species identity and plant phenology.
