Estimation of Seed Production and Germination of Ficus hispida and Ficus racemosa
Ficus hispida and Ficus racemosa are Moraceae species that commonly grow on riverbanks. Actions to propagate generative plants required more observation due to mutualistic symbiosis between F. hispida and F.

Geographic variation in floral scent reinforces local pollinator attraction in the fig–fig wasp mutualism [PDF]
Background Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted during floral receptivity are crucial for attracting pollinators, especially in brood-site pollination systems. Geographic variation in floral scent can alter host recognition cues, potentially shaping

New Record of Encarsia protransvena and Confirmed Occurrence of Encarsia hispida (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) as Parasitoids of Singhiella simplex (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Italy [PDF]
Encarsia protransvena (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) is recorded here for the first time in Italy as a parasitoid of the whitefly Singhiella simplex (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), one of the most invasive alien pests of exotic Ficus species.

Ecological Niche Adaptations Influence Transposable Element Dynamics in Pollinating and Non-Pollinating Fig Wasps. [PDF]
The influence of ecological niches on transposable element (TE) dynamics, particularly in mutualistic relationships, remains understudied. This research reveals that non‐pollinating fig wasps (NPFWs) have “aggressive,” expansion‐driven TE landscapes with active insertions, contrasting with the stable, “dormant” TE profiles in pollinators.

Impact of Anthropogenic Pollution on the Plant Species Diversity and Composition Along the Riparian Ecotones of Goa's Sal and Zuari Rivers. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic pressures are increasingly constraining the health of riparian ecosystems by exposing their remnant vegetation to edge effects. Despite being at the land–water interface, conservation efforts have often overlooked how water pollution may indirectly exacerbate the broader impacts of anthropogenic pressures on riparian vegetation ...

Ethnoveterinary Practices Related to Captive Elephants in Sauraha, Chitwan, Nepal. [PDF]
The study documented 42 plant species from 26 families used for treating 27 ailments of captive elephants in Sauraha, Nepal. Leaves were the most frequently used plant part, and the most common preparation method was paste formulation, followed by raw, juice, powder, roast, and decoction forms.

Complementary Strategies of Hydraulic Variability and Conservative Stomatal Regulation Enable Widespread Distributions in a Heterogeneous Karst Landscape. [PDF]
Steep water‐soil gradients in karst create niche differentiation, yet how widespread trees span microhabitats remains unclear. Along a moisture gradient, Delavaya toxocarpa and Tirpitzia ovoidea colonize xeric hilltops through high hydraulic trait variability that prioritizes hydraulic safety, whereas Litsea glutinosa depends on conservative stomatal ...
