Homogenisation of Vegetation in Irish Semi-Natural Grasslands. [PDF]
A re‐survey of 12 Irish grassland sites revealed a decrease in species number and an apparent shift towards homogeneity of species diversity over the last 12–15 years. This raises concerns about management and species diversity/conservation. ABSTRACT Grasslands represent an important source of vegetative diversity and provide a range of important ...

Measuring the Effects of “Opportunistic Defense” of the Bracken Fern, \u3ci\u3e(Pteridium Aquilinum)\u3c/i\u3e by Patrolling Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute in South Central Michigan [PDF]
In this study we show that in South Central Michigan (Pierce Cedar Creek Institute) eight ant species patrol bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) during the sensitive crozier growth stage.

Quercetin elevates p27Kip1 and arrests both primary and HPV16 E6/E7 transformed human keratinocytes in G1 [PDF]
Our previous work with primary bovine fibroblasts demonstrated that quercetin, a potent mutagen found in high levels in bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), arrested cells in G1 and G2/M, in correlation with p53 activation.

HPV-18 transformed cells fail to arrest in G1 in response to quercetin treatment [PDF]
Previous work with primary human keratinocytes demonstrated that quercetin, a potent mutagen found in high levels in bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), arrested cells in G1 with concomitant elevation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (cdki ...

Biological Protein Value of Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn
Contemporary human diet is poor in proteins. Therefore, the modern food science should find new sources of high-grade protein. The bracken fern is rich in proteins can be an unconventional solution to this problem. The research objective was to study the

Control of bracken by promoting regeneration of woody vegetation in the Yucatan Peninsula
In the tropical dry forest of the Yucatan Peninsula in southern Mexico, as in many parts of the Neotropics, deforested areas have been colonized by the highly competitive invasive bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum), which inhabits naturally regenerated and
