Positive relationships among aboveground biomass, tree species diversity, and urban greening management in tropical coastal city of Haikou. [PDF]
We investigated the relationship between tree species diversity and aboveground biomass using multiple regression, which revealed significant relationships across all five types of land uses. Aboveground biomass in green spaces was also correlated with anthropogenic factors, especially time since urban development, or site age, annual maintenance ...

Vegetation structure and ground cover attributes describe the occurrence of a newly discovered carnivorous marsupial on the Tweed Shield Volcano caldera, the endangered black-tailed dusky antechinus (Antechinus arktos). [PDF]
The black‐tailed dusky antechinus (Antechinus arktos) is a recently discovered, endangered carnivorous marsupial mammal endemic to the border between Queensland and New South Wales in eastern Australia. The species' preference for cool, high‐altitude habitats makes it particularly vulnerable to a shifting climate.

Pest categorisation of Aonidiella orientalis
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Aonidiella orientalis (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), the oriental scale, for the EU. A. orientalis is a species mostly occurring in tropical and subtropical areas. It is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.

Fruit bats are globally threatened, yet important ecosystem engineers. Population monitoring is difficult, traditionally with significant error. This study shows that the number of flying‐foxes roosting in a colony can be determined by counting individuals in thermal orthomosaics either manually or using semi‐automated methods.

Non‐native palms (Arecaceae) as generators of novel ecosystems: A global assessment
Abstract Aims Novel ecosystems are self‐maintaining ecosystems that support species assemblages without historical precedent. Despite much interest and controversy around novel ecosystems, it remains poorly understood how they are generated, what their capacity to support biodiversity is and what the implications for society are. Here, we address these

Fecundidade, dispersão e predação de sementes de Archontophoenix cunninghamiana H. Wendl. & Drude, uma palmeira invasora da Mata Atlântica [PDF]
Understanding the basic biology of invasive species can help us to choose the best management strategies to deal with the invasion. I report the phenology, seed production and dispersal of Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, an Australian palm that is invading Atlantic forest fragments. Field work was done in a 10 ha forest fragment (Mata da Cuaso 23o34' S,
