Taxonomic revision and conservation concerns of the trapezitine genus Croitana Waterhouse, 1932 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) from Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Croitana Waterhouse, 1932 (Trapezitinae) is a small genus of skippers endemic to Australia, with most species restricted to semi‐arid and arid biomes where the larvae specialise on grasses (Poaceae) in the genera Neurachne R.Br., Enteropogon Nees and Austrostipa S.W.L. Jacobs & J.Everett.

Systematic reduction of natural enemies and competition across variable precipitation approximates buffelgrass invasiveness (Cenchrus ciliaris) in its native range

Ecology and Evolution
Invasive grasses cause devastating losses to biodiversity and ecosystem function directly and indirectly by altering ecosystem processes. Escape from natural enemies, plant–plant competition, and variable resource availability provide frameworks for ...

Forage Biomass and Chemical Composition of Buffelgrass Genotypes in the Semi‐Arid Region of Brazil

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Forage improvement in semi‐arid regions requires the identification of genotypes capable of maintaining productivity under climatic variability and chronic water scarcity. This study evaluated six buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) genotypes over two production years in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, to characterize their agronomic, morphological, and ...

Microscale Assessment of Brush Packing Mulch as a Method for Enhancing Soil Moisture Content and Promoting Delayed Grass Seedling Mortality of Subtropical Grasses

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Recurring droughts in South Africa's dryland rangelands have profound effects on ecosystem health. Consequently, identifying sustainable soil moisture content techniques is critical for enhancing plant growth to support ecosystem function.

Productivity and economics of ber (Ziziphus mauritiana) based horti-pasture system as influenced by integrated nutrient management under rainfed condition of Rajasthan

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Awareness of food quality has shifted our focus on nutrient management system in crop production. Integrated nutrient management system resulted in good yield improvement and maintenance of soil health having least impact on food quality and environment.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 461-485, March 2026.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Recent invasion of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) of a natural protected area from the southern Sonoran Desert Invasión reciente de zacate buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris) en un área natural protegida del desierto sonorense

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2008
The Centro Ecológico de Sonora is a natural protected area where the natural vegetation remained undisturbed at least until 1997. Since then, Cenchrus ciliaris has become a prominent element of the vegetation because of disturbance.
