Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Host plant richness and abundance drive populations of a super‐generalist xylem‐feeding insect
Philaenus spumarius abundance was assessed across 93 sites and four habitat types (olive groves, vineyards, meadows, and field margins) within eight heterogeneous agricultural landscapes over the year. In spring, nymph abundance was positively associated with herbaceous plant species richness and vegetation cover, highlighting that even super ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

Da Vinci's mischief: xylem conduits in the stems of woody plants do not furcate
Summary The hydraulic architecture of plants is often modeled as a ‘furcating’ network, in which xylem conduits proliferate in number toward the stem apex, analogous to animal circulatory systems. Yet whether furcation actually occurs within woody stems remains untested, despite major implications for carbon costs and hydraulic efficiency.
