Remote sensing and geospatial analysis for the study of plant community regeneration in human‐modified landscapes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Natural regeneration is essential for maintaining functionally diverse and resilient plant communities in human‐modified landscapes. To design and implement successful conservation and restoration initiatives in these landscapes, research on the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of natural regeneration must be scaled up beyond ...

Bovine papillomavirus type 2 detection in the urinary bladder of cattle with chronic enzootic haematuria

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006
The bovine papillomavirus type 2 (BPV-2) involvement in the aetiology of chronic enzootic haematuria associated to bracken fern ingestion has been suggested for a long time.

High‐Efficiency and Eco‐Friendly Management of Multiple Fungal Diseases by a Novel Carbon Dots sCDP Delivered RNA Nano‐Pesticides

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 752-768, February 2026.
ABSTRACT RNA‐based pesticides represent a transformative approach in agricultural disease management, offering an environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional chemical fungicides. However, key challenges such as rapid RNA degradation in the environment and inefficient uptake hinder widespread adoption.

Trait‐based species selection for restoration: A case study from tropical landscapes dominated by bracken

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...

Toxicities of bracken fern in guinea pigs.

open access: yesThe Japanese Journal of Veterinary Science, 1983
Toxicities of bracken fern were studied for feeding periods of 5-1O days (experiment A), 20-80 days (experiment B) and 11-15 months (experiment C) in 149 albino female and male guinea pigs weighing approximately 200g. Guinea pigs were fed ad lib. the bracken diet containing 30% (Wt./Wt.) dry powdered young fronds, 0.012% thiamine and 0.01% ascorbic ...

Karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus): native taonga (treasure) or environmental weed?

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 887-912, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus J.R. Forst. & G. Forst.) is an endemic New Zealand tree species that attracts polarising views and controversy. Prior to the arrival of humans in New Zealand, karaka was probably restricted to warmer areas of the northern North Island, but it now occurs throughout much of New Zealand, including on Rēkohu/Chatham

Differences in bird and bat traits, seed-dispersal interactions and functions between tropical montane forest and bracken-dominated areas

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Most tropical plant species depend on animals to disperse their seeds. Seed dispersal by animals allows plants to colonize new sites in deforested habitats helping to accelerate forest recovery.

Evaluation of urine dipstick and cystoscopy in bovine enzootic haematuria

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2014
Enzootic bovine haematuria is mainly caused by the chronic ingestion of bracken fern and is still considered an important cause of economic losses in beef herds, particularly in large metropolitan areas of Brazil that are not suitable for agriculture ...

Remembering Wai‐Horotiu: microhistory, public art, and Indigenous environmental justice in Tāmaki Makaurau

open access: yesKōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 1348-1371, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Few people walking along Queen Street in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, realise they are treading above Wai‐Horotiu, a historically significant stream now buried beneath the urban landscape. In this paper, I examine how Wai‐Horotiu, once vital to the socio‐cultural and ecological well‐being of mana whenua, was systematically canalised, polluted ...
