Effects of intraspecific competition on the larval development and pupal weight of Dacini (Diptera : Tephritidae) infesting cucurbits in la Reunion [PDF]
, 2010 Background. In La Réunion, cucurbit crops suffer considerable damage due to fruit fly attacks. A complex of three species (The Melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae, The Ethiopian fly, Dacus ciliatus, and the Indian Ocean fruit fly, Dacus demmerezi) coexist ...

Linking to images and AI‐based identification tools—The only way for Flora projects to survive
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 452-460, March 2026.Floras are comprehensive and authoritative catalogues of plants growing in an area of interest. They help people find and name plants, which is achieved by a combination of images, drawings, and text, rarely also maps. Like other catalogues (lexica, dictionaries, telephone books), Floras will not survive unless they move online and become portable ...

Soil Metabarcoding Helps Identify Recalcitrant Taxa From Chaparral Seed Banks
Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Soil seed banks preserve plant diversity, but traditional germination methods often miss dormant or hard‐to‐germinate species. Our study tested metabarcoding as an alternative, finding that DNA‐based sequencing was more reliable than RNA and that water treatments influenced sequencing results.
