Recent Replacement of Native Pili Grass (Heteropogon contortus) by Invasive African Grasses in the Hawaiian Islands [PDF]
We surveyed 41 sites from throughout O'ahu that had been dominated by native pili grass (Heteropogon contortus) in the late 1960s. Pili grass was absent from 14 (35%) of those sites in 1997 and had declined in abundance in most of the 27 remaining ...

Abstract Bushfires occur regularly in inland Australia because of the flammability of spinifex (Triodia species). Spinifex and fire are tied together by infertility: the plant is of limited palatability to consumers and accumulates into fuel. Spinifex regrows with cumulative rainfall, and fires recur every couple of decades.

Meiotic chromosome behaviour in Cenchrus ciliaris
A basic chromosome number of x = 9 has been confirmed for Cenchrus ciliaris L. Polyploidy is common and levels vary from tetraploid to hexaploid. Aneuploidv is reported for a single specimen, where two chromosomes of a single genome were lost.
