Which factors contribute most to genome size variation within angiosperms?
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Genome size varies greatly across the flowering plants and has played an important role in shaping their evolution. It has been reported that many factors correlate with the variation in genome size, but few studies have systematically explored this at ...

Identification of species and materia medica within Saussurea subg. Amphilaena based on DNA barcodes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Saussurea is one of the most species-rich genera in the family Asteraceae, where some have a complex evolutionary history, including radiation and convergent evolution, and the identification of these species is notoriously difficult. This genus contains

Translocation of Fenoxycarb in the Agro-ecosystem
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1995 With the aim to ascertain the possibility of diffusion of fenoxycarb in the agro-ecosystem, investigations were done in a greenhouse of about 40 m3 in which two-year-old mulberry plants were growing. A water solution of the commercial product Insegar (2.0 gl−1) was poured in Petri dishes for a total area of 6,104 cm2.

Modelling an ecosystem: The example of agro-ecosystems
Ecological Modelling, 2011 Abstract Methods to predict ecosystem responses to changing environmental conditions, including options for mitigation and management, are vital for scientists and policy makers. We propose that modelling ecosystems by grouping species into trophic-functional types has great utility, because it is potentially generic and applicable to any ecosystem ...
