Coevolution between plants and insects is thought to be responsible for generating biodiversity. Extensive research has focused largely on antagonistic herbivorous relationships, but mutualistic pollination systems also likely contribute to ...

Three new Eocene cycads from eastern Australia
The descriptions of Pterostoma R.S.Hill, a new cycad genus with two species (P. zamiodes R.S.Hill and P. anastomosans R.S.Hill) and Lepidozamia foveolata R.S.Hill add significantly to our knowledge of the floristic components of the Australian Tertiary ...

As is well known the Cycadaceae constitutes a small section of the gymnospermous plants. They are therefore, related on the one hand to the Gnetaceae or joint-firs, and on the other to the Coniferae, the conifers, our familiar pines, cedars, firs and ...

When alien plants become health hazards: An applied study on toxic and allergenic risks in Italy
Alien plants are often studied for their ecological harm, but their risks to human and animal health remain poorly documented. This study provides the first comprehensive catalogue of poisonous and allergenic alien plants in Italy, identifying which species are dangerous, where they grow and who is most at risk—from children in city parks to pets and ...

Abstract This article explores the ways in which ‘forest school’, an educational approach where children engage in creative and play based activities in a ‘natural’ environment, can contribute towards Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) by promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and by helping address biodiversity loss. Drawing on data

Cycads are the most threatened group in the plant kingdom. Fire is identified as one of the major factors heightening cycad extinction risk. However, compared to South American cycads, we know little about how fire negatively affects the demography of ...

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...
