Plant Ecology and Evolution

Diamond open access journal publishing about ecology and evolution of all plant groups Submissions concerning (sub)tropical Africa are particularly welcome.

Plant Ecology and Evolution is a diamond open access journal that publishes papers about ecology, phylogenetics, and systematics of all plant groups (including algae, fungi, and myxomycetes), also covering related fields such as comparative and developmental morphology, conservation biology, evolution, phytogeography, pollen and spores, population biology, and vegetation studies.

New research on Colombian mistletoes reveals a new species, Psittacanthus job-kuijtii (Loranthaceae), and four species newly recorded for Colombia. These discoveries raise the country's Psittacanthus diversity to 41 taxa.

After nearly 50 years, Lysimachia peduncularis has been rediscovered in southern China. Using morphology, plastid genomes, and phylogenomics, its placement within subgenus Idiophyton is clarified.

A new molecular phylogeny of Philippine Amorphophallus (Araceae) reveals that the group is polyphyletic, pointing to multiple colonization events into the archipelago. With 20 endemic species, the Philippines may harbour even more hidden diversity than previously thought.

Research on orchids in the Itremo Massif shows that 64% of species are endemic to Madagascar and 41% are threatened. Conservation should prioritise humid forests for unique species and rocky habitats for endemic richness, while addressing mining, fire, and land use change.

How do plant traits shape insect communities? In Crambe tataria, plant height and inflorescence size influence insect abundance and composition, especially phytophagous species, highlighting the role of plant morphology in structuring ecological interactions.

Cinchona (Rubiaceae), the source of quinine, faces shrinking habitat in eastern DR Congo as climate stress intensifies. Modeling show high-suitability areas could drop from 4.13% today to near 1% by the 2050s, concentrating in highland refugia.

Specialized fly pollination in Apoballis mutata shows that high reproductive success does not require a trap system. Interactions with flies enable efficient pollen transfer, repeated visits, and fruit set >90%, offering new insight into pollination strategies in Araceae.

Two new dioecious species of Vanguerieae (Rubiaceae) from Madagascar are described using molecular and morphological data. One belongs to Peponidium, the other to Pyrostria. Both are limestone specialists with restricted ranges and conservation concern.

A new species from northern Peru: Arcytophyllum leymebambense (Rubiaceae). This morphologically distinct, phylogenetically isolated lineage inhabits high-elevation Jalca grasslands and is known from three populations. Its discovery sheds light on Andean diversification.

21/04/2026

The species Oldenlandia bahiana (Rubiaceae), endemic to Brazil, is described using an integrative approach combining morphology, ecology, and micromorphology. Distinct from O. filicaulis, it highlights hidden diversity and the remarkable endemism of rupestrian grasslands.
