Cuscuta spp. (dodders) are rootless, holoparasitic herbs with filiform stems attached to the host by numerous haustoria. In Canada, Cuscuta gronovii is the most common native species of the genus followed by Cuscuta campestris and C. umbrosa.

Understanding the winter diets of endangered ungulates is critical for developing effective conservation strategies in temperate ecosystems, where seasonal fluctuations significantly affect food availability. The long‐tailed goral Naemorhedus caudatus, an herbivorous ungulate listed as a category I ‘Endangered species' (EN) under the Korean Wildlife ...

Flowers that are attractive and occupy a complementary position in interaction space could be prioritized in flower mixes to recover rare and specialized pollinators. By defining the ecological roles of readily available plants in plant–pollinator networks, particularly those that receive high visitation rates from complementary pollinator communities,

Phylogenetic Relationship of some Ipomoea Seed Proteins by Sds-Page [PDF]
To investigate the phylogenetic relationship of nine Ipomoea species, seed proteins were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Based on the analysis, total 50 bands were identified.

Our study shows that the generalized structure of urban plant–pollinator interactions is mirrored in the mechanisms that shape them, as interactions are governed primarily by less restrictive drivers such as abundance and spatiotemporal overlap rather than by trait matching.

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.
