Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research.
L'agrobiodiversité est un puissant levier d'action de l'agriculture durable à l'échelle mondiale. La culture, la conservation et la réintroduction de diverses espèces végétales, y compris les cultures ‘oubliées’ et ‘sous‐utilisées’, contribuent à l'agrobiodiversité mondiale, aux écosystèmes vivants et à la production alimentaire durable. Ces actions bénéficient des connaissances traditionnelles... -

Rapid diversification of grey mangroves (Avicennia marina) driven by geographic isolation and extreme environmental conditions in the Arabian Peninsula.
Biological systems occurring in ecologically heterogeneous and spatially discontinuous habitats provide an ideal opportunity to investigate the relative roles of neutral and selective factors in driving lineage diversification. The grey mangroves ( ) of Arabia occur at the northern edge of the species' range and are subject to variable, often... -

Seed Imbibition and Metabolism Contribute Differentially to Initial Assembly of the Soybean Holobiont.
Seed germination critically determines successful plant establishment and agricultural productivity. In the plant holobiont's life cycle, seeds are hubs for microbial communities’ assembly, but what exactly shapes the holobiont during germination remains unknown. Here, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing characterized the bacterial communities in embryonic compartments (cotyledons and axes) and...Gerna, Davide ; Clara, David ; Antonielli, Livio ; Mitter, Birgit ; Roach, Thomas

New combinations in and typification of tropical African species of Urochloa (incl. Brachiaria) (Poaceae).
Detailed morphological and molecular research has led to the conclusion that the majority of the species of the genus have to move to the much smaller genus . Although many of the necessary new combinations were made, in Africa a fair number of accepted species still do not yet have...Oulo, M. ; van der Zon, A.P.M. ; Sosef, M. S. M.

Using morphometrics to distinguish the restinga and cerrado ecotypes of wild Anacardium occidentale (Anacardiaceae): a preliminary study in northeastern Brazil.
The cashew tree is a globally important food species and in Brazil is a natural component of cerrado and restinga vegetation and has an important role in local economies as a food and medicinal plant. Nevertheless, diversity studies of wild populations—the most important reservoir of natural variation—of this naturally widespread... -

Trials and tribulations of Neotropical plant taxonomy: Pace of tree species description.
Dada la inédita preocupación por la actual pérdida global de biodiversidad, resulta importante identificar las mejores estrategias para describir nuevas especies de manera más eficiente, completar el inventario de la flora Neotropical e implementar a tiempo estrategias de conservación apropiadas. Este estudio pretende responder la pregunta de cuánto tiempo... -

Nectar cardenolides and floral volatiles mediate a specialized wasp pollination system.
Specialization in plant pollination systems can arise from traits that function as filters of flower visitors. This may involve chemical traits such as floral volatiles that selectively attract favoured visitors and non-volatile nectar constituents that selectively deter disfavoured visitors through taste or longer-term toxic effects or both. We explored the... -

The origin of excavator nesting behavior and its impact on the evolution of Neotropical parrots.
How the origin of novel behaviors can shape the evolutionary trajectory of organisms in response to environmental change remains poorly understood. Birds, especially those with big brains like parrots, are benchmarks for their behavioral innovation capacity in novel environments. Here, we assess whether and how the emergence of open areas... -

Revisiting an ecophysiological oddity: Hydathode‐mediated foliar water uptake in Crassula species from southern Africa.
Hydathodes are usually associated with water exudation in plants. However, foliar water uptake (FWU) through the hydathodes has long been suspected in the leaf‐succulent genus (Crassulaceae), a highly diverse group in southern Africa, and, to our knowledge, no empirical observations exist in the literature that unequivocally link FWU to hydathodes... -

Forest resilience research using remote sensing and GIS – A systematic literature review.
Forest resilience assessment is increasingly important given the current global environmental change. However, attributes and indicators to quantify forest resilience still need to be explored. Remote sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques are widely applied for forest resilience modeling. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to obtain insights concerning... -

A taxonomic revision of the genus Weberbauerella Ulbr. (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae) in Peru and Chile.
The little-known and infrequently collected papilionoid legume genus is only known from outlying regions of the Atacama Desert. Presently it comprises three species, one in Chile and two in Peru. These small, woody, perennial species, enigmatic in both occurrence and form, are found growing in isolated populations in climatically extreme...Orellana-Garcia, A. ; Hechenleitner, P. ; Whaley, O.

Late pre-Hispanic fog oasis settlements and long-term human occupation on the Peruvian central coast from satellite imagery.
Fog oases ( ) present pockets of verdant vegetation within the arid coastal desert of Andean South America and archaeological excavation within some of the oases has revealed a long history of human exploitation of these landscapes. Yet lomas settlements are under-represented in archaeological datasets due to their tendency to... -

Resilience of tropical invertebrate community assembly processes to a gradient of land use intensity.
Understanding how community assembly processes drive biodiversity patterns is a central goal of community ecology. While it is generally accepted that ecological communities are assembled by both stochastic and deterministic processes, quantifying their relative importance remains challenging. Few studies have investigated how the relative importance of stochastic and deterministic community... -

Phylogenetic relationships of Fabales, the effect of outgroups on Fabales topology and the evolution of keel flowers within the order.
Fabales is a cosmopolitan angiosperm order which consists of four families, Leguminosae (Fabaceae), Polygalaceae, Surianaceae and Quillajaceae. Despite the great interest of botanists, a convincing phylogeny of the order is still not available because almost every phylogenetic study reveals a different scheme of relationships amongst families of the order. Therefore,...Aygoren Uluer, Deniz

Fungal interactions with vascular and non-vascular plants: an investigation of mutualisms and their roles in heathland regeneration.
Mycorrhizal mutualisms between aboveground vascular plant communities, which reward their belowground fungal associates with photosynthates in return for growth-limiting nutrients such as phosphate, are widely recognized as stable long-term interactions which helped plants colonize land. Pezoloma ericae (D.J. Read) Baral, an ascomycete mycorrhiza-forming fungus present amongst plants in the Ericales,...Kowal, Jill
