Decision marks first time a genetically modified tree designed for forest restoration clears regulatory hurdle.

The combined herbaria will create an unmatched archive for studying plant diversity in the southeastern United States (Chapel Hill, N.C.— Aug. 31, 2026) UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University will unite....

For several years, Ann Arbor has effectively had no active deer-management program.

In northwestern Costa Rica, the forest did not return all at once. First the cattle were removed. Then the fires had to be stopped. Introduced grasses made the old ranchlands burn too easily. Fence li...

A recent paper by U-M researchers uncovers how these iconic tropical trees spread across South America, diversified through time, and adapted to new environments and elevations.

Aim The assembly of tropical tree floras is complex, involving many lineage-specific histories; however, focusing on the biogeographic history of diverse clades can reveal general patterns. We inves...

Intense droughts have caused water stress and elevated mortality for trees in the Amazon, foreshadowing the future of tropical forests as the climate changes.

Because the past matters more than ever

Our work demonstrates Amazon-wide hyperdominance necessitating deterministic explanation by first comparing data to the global dispersal neutral model, then establishing this to be a conservative tes....

Phylogenies of long-lived plants often exhibit short molecular branch lengths and high levels of gene-tree conflict. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain unclear. We e.....

Abstract. Intraspecific phenotypic variation provides the basic substrate upon which the evolutionary processes that give rise to morphological innovation,

Changes seen as a response to presidential directives on what research to fund

The USGS Bee Lab supports research on native bees. As part of that program we and our co-located USFWS partners develop identification tools and keys for native bee species, take public access hi reso...

A female Blanding’s turtle, it sets a new record with each year of life. And this turtle doesn’t appear to be slowing down. In fact, she is still producing eggs, and shows no signs of declining with a...

Abstract. Evolutionary radiations underlie much of the species diversity of life on Earth, particularly within the world’s most species-rich tree flora – t

The vast tropical rainforests of the Guiana Shield in Northern South America play a vital role in maintaining the region's ecological balance and economy. Increasing pressure from selective logging, ...
