Invasive alien plants in China: diversity and ecological insights [PDF]
China's current invasive alien plant species were analyzed with regard to their floristic status, biological attributes and invasion status elsewhere. Most of the 270 species identified were annuals, followed by perennial herbs.

The Chaetophorales (Chlorophyceae) – a taxonomic revision at family level
The Chaetophorales (Chlorophyceae) consist of filamentous green algae that were mostly described directly from natural samples by light microscopy. However, the descriptions were often based on morphological characters that are either homoplasious or ...

Traits Associated With Local Extinctions of Native Plants in a Species‐Rich Urban Reserve
A comprehensive resurvey of an urban reserve in Sydney failed to redetect 29% of native vascular plant species recorded from 1976 to 1992. Compared with persistent species, locally extinct species were shorter on average and more likely to have a graminoid habit and be water‐associated.

Summary The butterfly‐shaped keel flower is a highly successful floral form in angiosperms. These flowers steer the mechanical interaction with bees and thus are hypothesized to accelerate pollinator‐driven diversification. The exceptionally labile evolution of keel flowers in Papilionoideae (Fabaceae) provides a suitable system to test this hypothesis.

Pest categorisation of Coccus viridis
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.
