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... -

An ancient Mesopotamian herbal.
Throughout the world, traditional medical systems continue to be important to healthcare. They vary greatly in their underlying beliefs, but almost all share the use of herbal medicines as a central practice. Ancient Mesopotamia – the area of modern-day Iraq and adjoining regions – offers a special opportunity to study...Böck, Barbara ; Ghazanfar, Shahina A. ; Nesbitt, Mark

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.

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... -

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... -

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

Phylogenetics and characterisation of Lamiaceae tribe Ocimeae, subtribe Ociminae.
Phylogenetic analyses of the subtribe Ociminae (Lamiaceae) based on four plastid DNA regions (trnL–trnF intergenic spacer, trnH-psbA intergenic spacer, matK and rps16 intron) and two nuclear DNA regions (ITS and ETS) are presented. Bayesian inference was utilized for the reconstruction of phylogenies and for the assessment of statistical support for...Althobaiti, Ashwaq T.

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... -

Validation of three Indo-Chinese Clerodendrum (Lamiaceae).
Re-examination of nomenclature of three Indo-Chinese species, Clerodendrum adenocalyx, C. nhatrangense and C. palmatolobatum reveals that their names are invalidly published according to Article 39.1. in the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants (ICN): all these species published in 1935 were described without a Latin diagnosis.

Undiscovered bird extinctions obscure the true magnitude of human-driven extinction waves.
Birds are among the best-studied animal groups, but their prehistoric diversity is poorly known due to low fossilization potential. Hence, while many human-driven bird extinctions (i.e., extinctions caused directly by human activities such as hunting, as well as indirectly through human-associated impacts such as land use change, fire, and the... -
