A race against time: saving seeds to protect threatened plants in California
Binational conservation efforts offer hope for the protection of plant species living on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Population-level genetic variation and climate change in a biodiversity hotspot
Estimated future climate scenarios can be used to predict where hotspots of endemism may occur over the next century, but life history, ecological and genetic traits will be important in informing the varying responses...

Effects of topoclimatic complexity on the composition of woody plant communities
Topographically complex landscapes exhibit large variations in climate. This climate heterogeneity has been linked to high biodiversity and may enable species persistence with a changing climate. However, it is unclear...

Investigating the impacts of recycled water on a long-lived conifer
Recycled wastewater is a popular alternative water resource. Although typical salt contents in recycled water are low (< 2.0 dS m-1), levels may still be harmful to salt-sensitive plants. The results of a new study...
Biogeography of Tecophilaeaceae
Tecophilaeaceae is a small family with a peculiar disjunct distribution in California, Chile and southern and tropical mainland Africa, and occurs mainly in arid regions, including three Mediterranean-type ecosystems...
