Pest categorisation of Malacosoma parallela. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Malacosoma parallela (Staudinger) (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) for the territory of the European Union, following commodity risk assessments of Berberis thunbergii, Malus domestica, Prunus persica and P. dulcis plants for planting from Türkiye, in which M.

Phylogenetic and phylogeographic evidence for the colonization success of the diplochorous Astydamia latifolia across the Canary Islands. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The iconic Canarian Astydamia latifolia is a diplochorous species. In this study, we inferred a high phylogenetic isolation of this species and recurrent inter‐island colonization across the Canarian archipelago, as highlighted by the new method PAICE.

Pest categorisation of non-EU Scolytinae on non-coniferous hosts. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a group pest categorisation for the EU territory of non‐EU Scolytinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on non‐coniferous hosts, which total 6495 known species. Most species attack apparently healthy, weakened or dead trees, either feeding on the phloem (‘bark beetles’ subgroup) or on fungi inoculated into ...

Ecology of Echinops giganteus A. Rich. in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Distribution, Ecoclimatic Niche, and Phytosociology

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Echinops giganteus A. Rich. is an aromatic and medicinal plant of the Asteraceae family exploited in Cameroon under the access and benefit sharing (ABS) standard. Despite its importance, little information exists on the ecology of E. giganteus. The aim of the present study was to contribute to a better understanding of its ecology for sustainable ...

Hay meadows' overriding effect shapes ground beetle functional diversity in mountainous landscapes

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Mountain regions are hotspots of biodiversity, and are particularly sensitive to human activities and global changes. Characterizing biodiversity using trait‐based approaches may improve the understanding of the evolutionary and mechanistic basis of ecological patterns in species distribution.

Pest categorisation of Platypus apicalis

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Platypus apicalis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae), an ambrosia beetle, also known as a pinhole borer, for the EU territory. P. apicalis is a polyphagous pest native to New Zealand.

Living at the limit in the Pyrenees: Peripheral and endemic plants are rare but underrepresented in protection lists

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 930-942, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Mountains shelter high biological diversity and constitute both important barriers and confluence areas for species. They often contain species whose populations occur at their range limit (peripheral species), which according to the “Centre‐Periphery” hypothesis (CPH) are expected to occur in marginal environments, exhibit low abundance ...

Longitudinal vegetation turnover in an eastern Rift Valley riparian corridor

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 27-42, March 2022., 2022
Abstract East African riparian corridors are biodiversity hot spots that occur in catchments degrading under deforestation and overgrazing. Quadrats and belt transects were employed to investigate plant succession along the River Gilgil, in the Kenyan Rift Valley. The study found that most species (total 365) were broadly distributed across the tropics,

Moroccan Medicinal Plants Used to Treat Cancer: Ethnomedicinal Study and Insights into Pharmacological Evidence

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Cancer is one of the major medical challenges, with an unacceptably high death toll worldwide. In Morocco, medicinal plants continue to play a pivotal therapeutic role despite the development of modern sanitation systems. In the current study, an ethnobotanical survey was carried out at the Moroccan national institute of oncology, Rabat, and we aimed ...

Floristic Diversity and Evaluation of the Potential of Spontaneous Medicinal Plants in the Bigoudine Watershed (Moroccan Western High Atlas)

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The Bigoudine watershed (Western High Atlas) enjoys a floristic originality and a large number of plant species of therapeutic and aromatic interest widely used by the local population in traditional medicine. This region is subject to very difficult geographical conditions and is occupied by a poor population with a fairly high rate of illiteracy ...
