1175. Madeirina macrorhiza (Lowe ex Hooker) D. J. Crawford, M. Seq., Mort & J. K. Kelly, gen. nov. et comb. nov.

Curtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.
Summary Tolpis Adanson is a genus of some 15 species distributed primarily in the Macaronesian archipelagos of the Azores, Canary Islands, Madeira, and Cape Verde Islands. A phylogenomic study resolved Tolpis as monophyletic with the Madeiran endemic species Tolpis macrorhiza sister to the remainder of the genus.

Monitoring cotton squares with opened and/or yellowed bracts to determine the need and efficency of chemical control against the cotton boll weevil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The technique of terrestrial sampling of boll weevil (BW) populations is expensive and inefficient over large areas, but may be cheaper and more efficient without involving the manipulation of cotton squares.

Does the munch affect the bunch? Using community science to explore insect herbivory and fruit production in an understory plant

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We used iNaturalist records, a longitudinal field survey, and a simulated herbivory experiment to explore how insect herbivory factors are associated with Cornus canadensis fruit production. Naturally observed internal and external insect herbivory was mostly low intensity and did not have a strong relationship with fruit production.
