Any Way the Wind Blows Does Really Matter in Lichen Response to Air Pollution from an Oil Refinery [PDF]
ToxicsLichens serve as effective bioindicators for air pollution studies, yet most biomonitoring research focuses primarily on the distance from pollution sources, often neglecting wind data that could elucidate the spread of airborne pollutants.

Spatial distribution, ecological indices and interactions of arthropods on Sapindus saponaria (Sapindaceae) plants [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023 Sapindus saponaria L. (Sapindaceae) is a pioneer species used in programs to recover degraded areas. The trees also assist in the pest control of some insects due to the composition of saponins on their leaves.
