Cryptic invasion within the Holosteum umbellatum complex (Caryophyllaceae) in central Europe

Attila Mesterházy, Magdalena Lučanová, Petr Koutecký, Pavel Kúr

Abstract Botanical inventories across Europe increasingly reveal rapid and often underestimated change, driven by ongoing introductions and improved detection of overlooked taxa. Cryptic invasions—where non-native or unrecognized lineages remain hidden due to morphological similarity or taxonomic complexity—contribute substantially to this underestimation, particularly …

Hidden diversity of Ranunculus sect. Batrachium in the Pannonian Basin

Vojtěch Dolejšek, Attila Mesterházy, Magdalena Lučanová, Viktorie Brožová et autres

Ranunculus sect. Batrachium is one of the most taxonomically challenging groups of aquatic plants. The main factors contributing to this complexity include morphological reduction, phenotypic plasticity, polyploidy and hybridization. In this study, Batrachium diversity in the Pannonian Basin was investigated for the …

Historical introgression as a driver of diversification of diploid Picris (Compositae) in the Mediterranean Basin

Juan Manuel Gorospe, Tomáš Fér, Ivan Rurik, Peter Vďačný et autres

The Mediterranean Basin is recognized as one of the world's most prominent biodiversity hotspots, where past climatic changes have driven range shifts, secondary contact between populations, and gene exchange. This study investigates the impact of historical introgression on the diversification of diploid …

Identifying the richness and evolutionary relationships of Ranunculus sect. Batrachium in its diversity centre in south-western Europe

Jan Prančl, Petr Koutecký, Magdalena Lučanová, Michaela Nagy Nejedlá et autres

Aquatic plants are generally attributed to have larger ranges than their terrestrial counterparts, but this knowledge is often hindered by insufficient exploration of their diversity. To fill this gap, we investigated the taxonomically extremely challenging aquatic plant group Ranunculus sect. Batrachium in …

Striking diversity in Alpine lakes

Petr Koutecký, Jan Prančl, Magdalena Lučanová, Viktorie Brožová et autres

The Ranunculus trichophyllus group has a complex evolutionary history and remains taxonomically unresolved. In central Europe outside the Alps, two tetraploid cytotypes distinguished as R. trichophyllus A and B have been recognized in previous studies. Another ecologically specialized taxon, R. confervoides (R. …

Climate and genome size shape the intraspecific variation in ecological adaptive strategies of a cosmopolitan grass species

Wen‐Yong Guo, Jan Čuda, Hana Skálová, Carla Lambertini et autres

Abstract Intraspecific trait variation, essential to Darwin's mechanism of natural selection, has been widely examined for single characters. However, intraspecific variation of adaptive strategies which represent trade‐offs among multiple functional traits has received less attention, particularly for species that are globally distributed …

High mountains of central Europe as a refuge of surprising cytotype diversity of Huperzia selago (Lycopodiaceae)

Kateřina Vejvodová, Joel Krejčí, Petr Koutecký, Magdalena Lučanová et autres

Abstract Polyploidization is pivotal in plant speciation, affecting adaptability, ecological tolerance and specific geographical distribution patterns. While cytotype diversity has been extensively studied in angiosperms and ferns, knowledge in homosporous lycophytes remains very limited. Our study addresses this gap, focusing on the …

Protecting stable biological nomenclatural systems enables universal communication: A collective international appeal

Pedro Jiménez‐Mejías, Saúl Manzano, Vinita Gowda, Frank‐Thorsten Krell et autres

The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for "inappropriate" names. …

Plant invasion and naturalization are influenced by genome size, ecology and economic use globally

Kun Guo, Petr Pyšek, Mark van Kleunen, Nicole L. Kinlock et autres

Human factors and plant characteristics are important drivers of plant invasions, which threaten ecosystem integrity, biodiversity and human well-being. However, while previous studies often examined a limited number of factors or focused on a specific invasion stage (e.g., naturalization) for specific regions, …

Some like it hot: small genomes may be more prevalent under climate extremes

Laura A. Meyerson, James T. Cronin, Magdalena Lučanová, Carla Lambertini et autres

Abstract Changing climates can influence species range shifts and biological invasions, but the mechanisms are not fully known. Using the model species Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud. ( Poaceae ), we conducted a global analysis of climate and plant native and …

Plants used by humans have characteristics that exacerbate invasions worldwide

Wen‐Yong Guo, Kun Guo, Petr Pyšek, Mark van Kleunen et autres

Abstract Human assistance and species’ characteristics are among the key drivers of plant invasions, which profoundly threaten ecosystem integrity, biodiversity and human well-being. However, previous studies have typically focused on one or a few factors or a particular invasion stage (e.g., naturalization) …
