Phytogeography and the stoichiometric niche: exploring their interplay in Sulawesi
The Indonesian island of Sulawesi is comprised of a mosaic of soil types including the largest ultramafic outcrops in the tropics (ultramafic soils are macronutrient low and phytotoxic heavy metal rich). The island’s ontogeny is also distinctive, whereby it has formed only recently < 2 million years ago via agglomeration...Trethowan, Liam A.

Automating the construction of higher order data representations from heterogeneous biodiversity datasets
Datasets created from large-scale specimen digitisation drive biodiversity research, but these are often heterogeneous: incomplete and fragmented. As aggregated data volumes increase, there have been calls to develop a “biodiversity knowledge graph” to better interconnect the data and support meta-analysis, particularly relating to the process of species description. This work...Nicolson, Nicky

Taxonomy, evolutionary history, and ecological dominance of Themeda and Heteropogon.
Heteropogon and Themeda grasses are common and significant components of the C4 savannas which have recently gained more attention for conservation and biodiversity research. The two genera have been the subject of ecological research due to their widespread and dominant species H. contortus and T. themeda. Like many tropical plant...Arthan, Watchara
