Don’t judge toxic weeds on whether they are native but on their ecological effects
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 17, Page 9014-9025, September 2020., 2020 We reviewed the literature to detail the adaptive mechanisms underlying toxic weeds and to provide new insight into their roles in degraded grassland ecosystems. The findings highlight that the establishment of toxic weeds may provide a self‐protective strategy of degenerated pastures that do not require special interventions.

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 3, May/June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Dry grasslands are vulnerable to climate and land‐use change. Increasing temperatures, drought, grazing cessation and nitrogen deposition can all result in shifts in grasslands' taxonomic and functional composition. We tested the hypotheses that both species richness and diversity are decreasing at the scales of both the regional species ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 555-569, March 2025.Plant communities of agricultural habitats in Central Europe are directly impacted by management intensification. Using spectroscopic methods, leaf functional trait data were non‐destructively derived from herbarium specimens, showing an increase in leaf nitrogen content and leaf nitrogen:phosphorus ratio over nearly 170 years.

Pest categorisation of non‐EU Cicadomorpha vectors of Xylella spp.
EFSA Journal, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2019., 2019 Abstract The Panel on Plant Health performed a group pest categorisation of non‐EU Cicadomorpha vectors of Xylella spp. known to be associated with plant diseases. Although all the insects considered in this categorisation are proven vectors of Xylella spp., additional vectors within the order Hemiptera most probably exist but have not been associated ...

Toxicity Assessment of Herbal Medicine Using Zebrafish Embryos: A Systematic Review
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Herbal remedies have been practiced by humans over centuries and therefore possess time‐proven safety. However, it is imperative to evaluate the toxic effects of herbal medicine to confirm their safety, particularly when developing therapeutic leads.

Weed Research, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 384-394, October 2024.Abstract Agricultural intensification and changing landscape structure led to decreasing numbers of arable flora and fauna during the last decades. To counteract these declines, arable plant diversity needs to be restored. It is important to promote regional plant communities including endangered species to ensure adaption to agricultural landscapes ...

Antileishmanial, Toxicity, and Phytochemical Evaluation of Medicinal Plants Collected from Pakistan
BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Leishmaniasis is an important parasitic problem and is in focus for development of new drugs all over the world. Objective of the present study was to evaluate phytochemical, toxicity, and antileishmanial potential of Jurinea dolomiaea, Asparagus gracilis, Sida cordata, and Stellaria media collected from different areas of Pakistan.
