MedGermDB : A seed germination database for characteristic species of Mediterranean habitats.
Seed germination is a crucial phase of plant responses in early life to current and future environmental conditions. However, germination data are still scarce or disaggregated for many plant lineages and regions, including global biodiversity hotspots such as the Mediterranean Basin. We present MedGermDB, the first germination database for characteristic... -

Introduced species infiltrate recent stages of succession after glacial retreat on sub-Antarctic South Georgia.
Biological invasions are one of the main drivers of global biodiversity decline. At the same time, glacial retreat induced by climate warming is occurring at an alarming rate across the globe, threatening unique taxa and ecosystems. However, we know little about how introduced species contribute to the dynamics of colonisation... -

Mapping density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora.
Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated drivers for diversity and richness. Using only location, stratified by forest type, as predictor, our spatial model, to the best of our knowledge, provides the most... -

An enlarged circumscription of Bifrenaria (Orchidaceae: Maxillariiinae).
A revised delimitation of Bifrenaria broadens the genus to include the previously accepted genera Guanchezia, Horvatia, Hylaeorchis, Rudolfiella, Scuticaria, and Teuscheria. These genera as currently circumscribed are changed to sections, and their respective species transferred or combined along with newly synonymised species. Bifrenaria sect. Stenocoryne and B. sect. Adipe are...Meneguzzo, Tniago E. C. ; Chase, Mark W.

The biocultural heritage and changing role of indigenous yams in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa.
La production mondiale d'igname est centrée sur l'Afrique de l'Ouest, mais il existe d'importantes lacunes dans les connaissances sur la diversité au niveau des exploitations agricoles dans une grande partie de la région, et particulièrement en Guinée. Bien que la production d'igname augmente en Guinée, à long terme, la... -

Polysporangiate anthers described in Eugenia (Myrtaceae) with notes on evolutionary patterns.
Shifts towards compartmentalisation resulting in multilocular anthers have been described in some families of Myrtales but to date, not in Myrtaceae. In these other families sporogeneous tissue is partitioned by transverse or longitudinal septa, fitting the definition of the ‘polysporangiate anther’. Polysporangiate anther in Eugenia, a Neotropical genus of Myrtaceae... -

The power of citizen science to advance fungal conservation.
Fungal conservation is gaining momentum globally, but many challenges remain. To advance further, more data are needed on fungal diversity across space and time. Fundamental information regarding population sizes, trends, and geographic ranges is also critical to accurately assess the extinction risk of individual species. However, obtaining these data is... -

A new Angolan species from the Triaspis hypericoides complex (Malpighiaceae) based on macromorphology and palynology.
currently comprises three accepted subspecies endemic to woodland savannas of southern continental Africa. After an unusual population belonging to this complex was collected in southwestern Angola, we re‐evaluated the classification of this group. This study was based on the analysis of type specimens, protologues, field photographs and herbarium sheets of... -

One sixth of Amazonian tree diversity is dependent on river floodplains.
Amazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and how this may differ from surrounding forest types is still far too limited, particularly as changing inundation regimes begin to reshape floodplain... -

On the identity of Dracocephalum breviflorum (Lamiaceae, Nepetoideae).
As currently circumscribed, the genus Dracocephalum Linnaeus (1753: 594) includes the traditionally defined Hyssopus Linnaeus (1753: 569) and Lallemantia Fischer & Meyer (1840: 52), making it the second largest genus in subtribe Nepetinae (Nepetoideae, Lamiaceae), consisting of ca. 80 species (Chen et al. 2022). Morphologically, the genus is most similar... -

Permits, contracts and their terms for biodiversity specimens.
We present two different typologies of legal/contractual information in the context of natural history objects: the Biodiversity Permit/Contract Typology categorises permits and contracts, and the Typology of Legal/Contractual Terms for Biodiversity Specimens categorises the terms within permits and contracts. The Typologies have been developed under the EU-funded SYNTHESYS+ project with... -

Using scanning electron microscopy and molecular data to discover a new species from old herbarium collections: The case of Phlomoides henryi (Lamiaceae, Lamioideae).
is one of the largest genera of Lamiaceae with approximately 150–170 species distributed mainly in Eurasia. In this study, we describe and illustrate a new species, , which was previously misidentified as , from Yunnan Province, southwest China. Molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that is found within a clade in which... -

Phylogeny and infrageneric classification of Clerodendrum (Lamiaceae).
The infrageneric classification of the genus Clerodendrum (Lamiaceae) has been highly problematic due to different concepts and subdivisions being applied to the treatment of Asian, Australian, and African species. Earlier molecular phylogenetic studies based on Sanger sequencing and limited sampling have indicated that previous morphology-based infrageneric classifications are not congruent... -

Gundelia tournefortii L. (Akkoub): a review of a valuable wild vegetable from Eastern Mediterranean.
L. (Asteraceae) is an artichoke-like wild edible vegetable that grows in the semi-arid climate of the East Mediterranean. Due to its high cultural and economic values for culinary and therapeutic uses, this plant is exposed to overharvesting driven by household consumption and trade, threatening the survival of natural populations.
