Classification and Biogeography of New World Grasses: Anomochlooideae, Pharoideae, Ehrhartoideae, and Bambusoideae [PDF]
, 2007 Molecular data support Anomochlooideae and Pharoideae as the two most basal extant clades within Poaceae. Anomochlooideae are endemic to the New World and have two tribes and two genera including the widespread Streptochaeteae (3–4 spp.) and the ...

, 2014 Large herbivores are significant vectors for the long-distance dispersal of seeds in various habitats, both attached to animals (epizoochory) and via gut passage (endozoochory). The majority of studies on epizoochory have examined dispersal in the fur of domesticated ungulates.

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, January/February 2026.We investigated the characteristics of temporal (different years) and spatial (different seasonal pastures) variations in species richness and density of the aboveground vegetation, seed rain, and transient soil seed bank under moderate seasonal grazing in an alpine meadow, Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau.

Experimental Studies on Epizoochorous Dispersal in Californian Plants [PDF]
, 1985 Experiments studying degrees of adherence ability to various surfaces were undertaken with presumably epizoochorous diaspores of 14 native and eight introduced species from southern California. A commonly available laboratory shaker was modified so as to

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3436-3455, December 2025.The Cerrado grass layer benefits from frequent fires and is resilient even to an extreme fire regime, such as seven annual burns. Recurrent mid‐dry‐season fires are not harmful to the grass layer and should be less concerning than prolonged fire‐suppression regimes, which diminish grasses' biomass, cover, diversity and functioning. Maintaining frequent

Large herbivores in coastal dune management: do grazers do what they are supposed to do? [PDF]
, 2005 After some decades of rather sparse and more or less ad-hoc nature management (e.g. local shrub-cutting, sod-cutting, mowing), the manager of the Flemish coastal nature reserves [Nature Department (Coastal Zone Management Cell) of AMINAL, Ministry of the

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT The Antarctic fairy shrimp (Branchinecta gaini) is the largest inland animal in Antarctica and a key component of its freshwater ecosystems. Despite its broad distribution, little is known about its population structure, habitat tolerance, and potential vulnerability to climate change. This study investigated the occurrence, genetic structure,
