	abstract = {Cycads represent an example of the success of evolutionary stasis. Despite their early origin, they survived multiple events of mass extinction and diversified in modern tropical ecosystems during the Cenozoic without major changes in their morphology. What factors have allowed their persistence and diversification despite their conservative nature? We reviewed documentation on the micro- and macro-evolutionary processes involved in the diversification of the Neotropical genus Dioon. Dioon comprises 18 species from varied habitats in Mexico and Honduras, and serves as a model to understand the patterns of cycad diversification. Here, we synthesize evidence reached from different fields, especially biogeography, phylogenetics, population ecology, and speciation, to propose a mechanism that can explain the current patterns of biodiversity in Dioon. At the macroevolutionary scale, a Paleogene origin for Dioon is more likely than an alternative hypothesis of a Neogene origin. Dioon lineages have dispersed along with the expansion of tropical forests throughout main mountain chains. Subsequently, climate change, and particularly aridification, promoted the fragmentation of the tropical forests, allowing the main Dioon clades to evolve in isolation at distinct biogeographic regimes. At the microevolutionary scale, low seed dispersal capability, stochastic demographic processes, and niche conservatism restrict the lineages to isolate themselves at narrow habitats, promoting local adaptation in populations. Local adaptation seems to be a process achieved through many generations under stabilizing selection. Altogether, these processes shaped the diversification in Dioon. This review attempts to stimulate further research on cycads and other biological groups that have diversified despite their apparent evolutionary stasis.},

	abstract = {Rice paddies are wetland ecosystems recognized as important habitats for many organisms; however, the hybridization-related extinction risk of native plant species has not been investigated in this system so far. Eclipta L. (Compositae) is a common paddy weed in Japan; however, its genetic composition might be altered due to the hybridization between the native E. thermalis and the closely related exotic E. alba. We examined Eclipta's genetic composition using 12 microsatellite markers (612 samples collected from 109 populations) and found (i) widespread geographical distribution of E. alba in Japan, (ii) hybridization with E. thermalis, and a large number of later-generation hybrids, and (iii) widely varying situations among regions and populations. Eclipta alba appears to have invaded an open niche in northern Japan but has not yet reached southern Japan. Both E. alba and E. thermalis were found in central Japan; however, the latter had become rare due to hybridization-mediated processes such as competition, and demographic and genetic swamping. Notably, endogenous and exogenous selection plays an important role in the invasion of E. alba, but to varying degrees among different areas. In summary, considering the genetic variability in E. thermalis, the genetic cluster of mainland Japan is in a highly critical situation due to the invasion of E. alba.},

	abstract = {An instance of extreme accumulation of Zn by a plant species was found in the 19th century, and observations of unusually high concentrations of other elements (Cu, Co, Ni, Cd, Pb, As, Se) were recorded between the 1920s and 1970s. Of relevance to the study of ultramafic areas and their floras is the occurrence of extreme Ni accumulation. The term "hyperaccumulator" was introduced in 1976 to signify a species exhibiting a concentration that can be hundreds or thousands of times greater than that usually found in plants on most common soils. Concentration criteria that allow a species to be regarded as a hyperaccumulator have been defined and refined from time to time. The following account details my own involvement in the discovery of new examples of metal hyperaccumulation, with particular emphasis on Ni accumulation by plants of ultramafic floras worldwide. The interest in hyperaccumulators has prompted investigations into different aspects of the biota of metalliferous soils. The search for new examples of hyperaccumulation continues, aided in part by non-destructive X-ray fluorescence scanning of herbarium specimens, which previously served as a resource providing small fragments for sensitive but destructive analysis. Identification of species as hyperaccumulators must be supported by further field exploration to understand the factors governing the level of metal uptake, and to stimulate further work on plant systematics, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Applications to phytoremediation and agromining are worth pursuing in some cases. Conservation issues are important because many hyperaccumulators are rare and restricted in their distribution.This article is a review of work carried out by the author and others during the last 48 years, relating to the discovery of plant species that exhibit hyperaccumulation of metallic elements. There is a particular focus on species that accumulate nickel from ultramafic soils.image},

	abstract = {Ecosystems that offer several ecosystem services can be used as green infrastructure for human well-being. In recent years, human activities have substantially engineered ecosystems to produce the desired ecosystem services. However, such efforts could lead to losses of other ecosystem services. Paddy fields are a seminatural ecosystem that can provide several ecosystem services other than rice production. Land consolidation in paddy fields aim to increase the efficiency of food production as a provisioning service, but it could depress the quality of wetland habitat as a supporting service. Recently, the Japanese government aimed to agricultural production with biodiversity conservation. Therefore, prioritizing a control strategy for future land consolidation is needed. Land consolidation work is effective for large areas and may incorporate the paddy field, previously a floodplain wetland that played a crucial role in regional biodiversity. However, land consolidation could result in the loss of this function. In this study, I investigated the spatial overlapping between land consolidation and paddy fields, which were previously natural floodplain wetlands in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Here, terrain parameters and flow accumulation value (FAV), that can reflect wetland potential, along with the latest land use map, were used. The consolidation records in 1-km cell for the whole of Kanagawa prefecture were used to test the hypothesis. Results showed that high FAV area with high wetland potential has large paddy fields and was heavily consolidated. Thus, there is need for drastic policy changes to align both food production and biodiversity in paddy fields in Japan. Land consolidation is effective for food production but negative for biodiversity.This study tested the positional relationship between land consolidation and natural wetland potential in paddy fields.Results showed that paddy fields which heavily consolidated and previously floodplain wetland were overlapping.To coincide both food production and biodiversity in paddy field, priority control strategy of consolidation is needed.image},

	abstract = {The quantification of plant diversity-productivity relationships is essential for accurate productivity assessments. Global change drivers are altering resource availability and biodiversity. However, the extent to which multiple attributes of diversity (species, functions) buffer community productivity in response to the resource availability changes and the potential driver mechanisms of the diversity-productivity relationship still needs to be the consensus. We investigated the ephemeral plant diversity-productivity relationships of different attributes along a precipitation gradient in the Gurbantunggut Desert, China. To evaluate the potential mechanisms by which diversity and functional composition affect aboveground productivity (niche complementarity and selection effect). Our results showed that (1) the variance of species richness (SR), Rao's quadratic entropy (RaoQ), community-weighted mean of height (CWMH), and community-weighted mean of leaf phosphorus concentration (CWMP) was larger among sites (variation between different sites) than subplots (variation between different subplots). Among subplots, the variance of community-weighted mean of specific leaf area (CWMSLA), community-weighted mean of leaf carbon concentration (CWMC), and community-weighted mean of leaf nitrogen concentration (CWMN) was larger than the sites. (2) SR, RaoQ, CWMC, CWMN, CWMH, pH, and mean annual precipitation (MAP) collectively influenced the accumulation of aboveground biomass (AGB). (3) Species diversity and MAP have strongly affected AGB and accounted for 50% and 42%. The study confirms that SR is the optimal predictor of biomass in ephemeral plants. Complementation effects may be the primary mechanism explaining the relationship between biodiversity and productivity in the Gurbantunggut Desert, and thus the effect of plant diversity cannot be downplayed.},
