Wildlife reintroduction: considerations of habitat quality at the release site. [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Assessing the suitability of a habitat prior to the release of animals is vital. Proper assessment of the flora will allow reintroduction programmes to determine whether the area will be capable of supporting the released animals in the long ...

Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...

Genomic and secondary metabolites of the marine cyanobacterium Capilliphycus salinus ALCB114379

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Assembling high‐quality genomes from underexplored environments can be helpful for understanding microbial diversity and identifying novel species. The Cyanobacterium type strain Capilliphycus salinus ALCB114379 is a representative of Oscillatoriales order isolated from a supralittoral zone of the south Atlantic Ocean in Brazil, an ecotone ...

Floristic Description of Parts of the Khoper River Upstream and Downstream of the Potlovskaya Dam and Water Quality Assessment by Hydrochemical Indicators

Povolzhskiy Journal of Ecology, 2020
In the modern world, increasing importance is attached to the formation and preservation of surface water quality, which is recognized as one of the leading factors in maintaining human health and well-being. In the 2000s the water quality in the Khoper river was considered as one of the best in Europe, but now the waters have become more polluted, and

Digitised herbarium specimen data reveal a climate change‐related trend to an earlier, shorter Canadian Arctic flowering season, and phylogenetic signal in Arctic flowering times

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Arctic is experiencing some of the world's most rapid changes in climate. Arctic plant flowering time responses to climate change are understudied. Globally, conflicting evidence exists on whether flowering time responses to temperature are evolutionarily conserved.

Documenting biodiversity with digital data: comparing and contrasting the efficacy of specimen‐based and observation‐based approaches

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Digitized herbarium specimens and iNaturalist observations provide invaluable plant biodiversity data. Combining these two data sources could create a more holistic representation of local biodiversity; however, understanding biases inherent to each is critical to determine how to best combine and utilize these data.

Evolutionary and environmental drivers of dry‐season deciduousness in a legume genus

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Leaf deciduousness is a key drought‐avoidance strategy in tropical flora, reducing water loss during seasonal dry periods. While winter‐deciduousness in temperate regions is well‐understood, the evolutionary and environmental drivers of dry‐season deciduousness remain poorly explored.

Vegetation trajectories over 150 years of temporary ponds created in the Camargue delta (Southern France)

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Temporary ponds in the Mediterranean climate have a high conservation value, but many have been severely destroyed or degraded. Pond restoration and new pond creation have been engaged widely. Evaluations of the success of such operations are generally carried out over 10–15 years and show divergent results over this timeframe. In
