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.

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,

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 ...

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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 10, Page 5441-5458, May 2021., 2021 In the Aegean archipelago, the shorter lasting configurations of the Late Glacial Maximum promoted increased connectivity with the mainland, thereby counteracting processes promoting endemism. This result contrasts strongly with observations made on oceanic island, where longer lasting configurations largely shaped the current species diversity.

The relationship between niche breadth and range size of beech (Fagus) species worldwide
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 1240-1253, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim This work explores whether the commonly observed positive range size–niche breadth relationship exists for Fagus, one of the most dominant and widespread broad‐leaved deciduous tree genera in temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere. Additionally, we ask whether the 10 extant Fagus species’ niche breadths and climatic tolerances are ...
