Tree Species Richness and Diversity Among Selected Urban Forest Types in Lilongwe City, Malawi
International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Urban vegetation plays a crucial role in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 by providing ecosystem services in cities. In support of this goal, this study aimed at determining the present urban tree species richness and diversity in Lilongwe City, Malawi, across six forest types: cemeteries, institutional lands, parks and recreation ...

Neutral Sterols of Cephalic Glands of Stingless Bees and Their Correlation with Sterols from Pollen
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Sterols are essential molecules in the membrane lipid composition and precursors of important sterol hormones that regulate many developmental processes. Insects are unable to synthesize sterols de novo and, thus, all phytophagous insects depend on an exogenous source of sterols for growth, development, and reproduction.

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.Responding to historically significant major flooding, this research assessed the flood‐resilience of a sub‐tropical riparian rainforest. Pre‐ and post‐flood (3, 6, and 12 months) floristic data were tested for significant changes. Additionally, persistence (taxa flood response via resprouting, recruitment, or both) was included in the assessment ...

Time since first naturalization is key to explaining non‐native plant invasions on islands
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 1340-1350, August 2024.Abstract Aim Investigating the extent of insular invasions by non‐native species (i.e., the number of islands they occupy) is central to island conservation. However, interrelationships among plant life history traits, naturalization histories, and island characteristics in determining island occupancy by non‐native plant species are poorly understood.

De Olho na Mata: monitoring Atlantic Forests with drones and few-shot learning [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesThe expansion of invasive species is a global challenge that leads to the loss of biodiversity habitat, and there are few tools to control it. In São Paulo, identification of invasive species is done through field inspections, in parts of ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 44-66, January 2024.Conservation seed banks maintain collections of many seed‐bearing plant species, providing germplasm and data to support management of wild populations. However, a proportion of plant species produce seeds that are difficult to collect, dry, store and utilise; these are known as ‘exceptional’ species.

Management priorities for exotic plants in an urban Atlantic Forest reserve
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018 Biological diversity is directly affected by alien species, even though the diagnosed impacts vary with scale. Early identification of the invasion of natural patches is essential for effective conservation actions. We aimed to determine the exotic plant
