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.

Biological invasion by Cenchrus ciliaris L.: is there an impact on Caatinga composition and diversity of herbaceous stratum?

Revista de Biologia Neotropical, 2018
Cenchrus ciliaris is native to South Asia and West Africa, considered one of the main invasive exotic species of Caatinga. This study aims to evaluate the effects caused by C.

Taking Responsibility for Confined Threatened Species Populations

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Adaptive management that predicts and responds rapidly to triggers is essential for sustained conservation and animal welfare outcomes for contained animal populations, including of threatened species. We provide a template for creating a sustainable and culturally‐appropriate Strategic Adaptive Management Plan for confined wildlife, using a ...

Forage supply in thinned Caatinga enriched with buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) grazed by goats and sheep=Oferta de forragem em Caatinga raleada e enriquecida com capim buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) pastejada por ovinos e caprinos [PDF]

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2012
Forage supply from herbs was assessed in a thinned Caatinga enriched with buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) exposed to goat and sheep grazing. The 2.4 ha experimental area, located at the Experimental Station of the Federal University of Campina Grande,

The Biology, Ecology, Distribution and Management of Two Globally Invasive Weeds: Calotropis procera (Calotrope) and Calotropis gigantea (Giant Calotrope)

Weed Research, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Calotropis procera and C. gigantea are emerging as globally invasive plants that can significantly alter ecosystems in areas where they have escaped from attended cultivation. Without effective management, these species can form dense monospecific stands, resulting in severe economic, environmental and social impacts.

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.

Under the Shade of a Coolabah Tree: A Second Cache of Tulas From the Boulia District, Western Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 39-54, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reports on the excavation of a cache of stone artefacts, buried on the bank of a waterhole or ‘billabong’ in central western Queensland. This is an extremely rare find, and yet it is the second such site to be reported within less than a 10 km radius.

Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

Emergence of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) from seed after flooding [PDF]

, 1972
The emergence of 7 buffel grass Cenchrus ciliaris cultivars after simulated flooding for 0, 10, 20, 30 or 40 days was investigated in pot trials. Seed of known germination percentage was sown in a medium-heavy alluvial clay soil, which was immediately ...

Is there a relationship between herbaceous species richness and buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris)?

, 2005
Cenchrus ciliaris L. (buffel grass) (Poaceae) is recognized as one of Australia's most serious environmental weeds. This introduced grass has been associated with loss of native species and alteration of fire regimes. However, it is also highly valued as
