Ethnobotanical survey of pesticidal plants used in South Uganda : case study of Masaka district [PDF]
, 2011 Use of synthetic pesticides in developing countries is not only limited by their being expensive but also the small (uneconomic) fields whose limited production costs cannot offset costs of agricultural implements like agro-chemicals. Subsistence farmers,

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Static boundaries of protected areas failed to capture the Canary Islands stonechat's shifting distribution patterns. Abstract Protected areas represent cornerstones of biodiversity conservation on oceanic islands, yet their effectiveness for endemic species remains poorly evaluated. We assessed how various territorial protection categories conserve an

A comparison of faecal analysis with backtracking to determine the diet composition and species preference of the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis minor) [PDF]
The diet of black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis minor) was studied using backtracking and faecal analysis in South Africa. Both methods yielded different results, with a large bias for dominant species.

Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...

Molecular characterization of Euphorbia caput-medusae stunt virus: Evidence for the existence of a new genus within the family Geminiviridae [PDF]
, 2013 Studies focusing on phytoviruses isolated from the wild are rare. Nevertheless, even if those studies remain scarce, it is increasingly accepted that viruses coming from wild plants might play a role on disease emergence and in the functioning of ...

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...
