Herbicide impacts on exotic grasses and a population of the critically endangered herb "Calystegia affinis" (Convolvulaceae) on Lord Howe Island [PDF]
, 2013 Introduced perennial grasses are capable of altering the habitat of native species, causing reductions in population size and vigour, and potentially affecting life-history processes such as survival, pollination and seedling recruitment. We examined the

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.Freshwater systems of the semi‐arid Narrabri region, Australia, are hotspots of novel fungal and eukaryote diversity, dominated by zoosporic fungi and unclassified lineages. ITS‑based DNA and water chemistry analyses across various water bodies revealed strong seasonal patterns, a scarcity of aquatic hyphomycetes that may reflect environmental ...

Early recognition by Ball and Hooker in 1878 of plant back-colonization (boomerang) events from Macaronesia to Africa [PDF]
, 2020 Recent work in island biogeography has shown that back-colonization (‘boomerang’ events) from islands to continents have occurred more frequently than previously understoodWe report possibly the earliest inference of this pattern, by John Ball and Joseph

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic
