Glacial Lakes in the Nepal Himalaya: Inventory and Decadal Dynamics (1977-2017)

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Himalayan glaciers, in general, are shrinking and glacial lakes are evolving and growing rapidly in number and size as a result of climate change. This study presents the latest remote sensing-based inventory (2017) of glacial lakes (size ≥0.0036 km2 ...

Typification and rediscovery of Phialacanthus griffithii Benth. & Hook.f. (Acanthaceae) in Arunachal Pradesh, India

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phialacanthus griffithii Benth. & Hook.f. (Acanthaceae), a species long thought unrecorded, was rediscovered in 2023 after a 160‐year gap in the Upper Dibang Valley, Eastern Himalaya, Arunachal Pradesh. The study presents a comprehensive taxonomic account including lectotypification, morphological description, phenology, habitat ecology, distribution ...

Interpreting Microbial Species–Area Relationships: Effects of Sequence Data Processing Algorithms and Fitting Models

open access: yesMicroorganisms
In the study of Species–Area Relationships (SARs) in microorganisms, outcome discrepancies primarily stem from divergent high-throughput sequencing data processing algorithms and their combinations with different fitting models.

Uncovering a new species of Hemileccinum (Boletaceae, Basidiomycota) from India with morphological characteristics and multi‐gene molecular phylogeny

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
While undertaking macrofungal forays to several forested areas of Uttarakhand (India), a noteworthy and previously unknown species of Hemileccinum was unveiled. This species is proposed here as Hemileccinum indicum sp. nov. It is presented with both morphological characteristics and multigene molecular phylogenetic analysis.

Exhumation, crustal deformation, and thermal structure of the Nepal Himalaya derived from the inversion of thermochronological and thermobarometric data and modeling of the topography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Two end‐member kinematic models of crustal shortening across the Himalaya are currently debated: one assumes localized thrusting along a single major thrust fault, the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) with nonuniform underplating due to duplexing, and the ...

Interseismic Coupling beneath the Sikkim-Bhutan Himalaya Constrained by GPS Measurements and Its Implication for Strain Segmentation and Seismic Activity

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The Sikkim–Bhutan seismic gap has witnessed a long earthquake quiescence since the 1714 M7.5~8.5 earthquake. The state of stress accumulation beneath the Sikkim–Bhutan Himalaya and its spatial correlation with seismicity remains unclear due to the lack ...

DNA barcode analyses and taxonomy reveal two new species of Inocybe from Pine and Oak forests of Pakistan

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Here we describe two new species of Inocybe from pine forests of Pakistan; I. hazarensisand I. shimlaensis. Morphological and molecular data show that these species have not been described before and hence need to be described as new. Both species are smooth‐spored and pruinose only in the apical part of the stipe.

Watershed: a more efficient sampling unit for mountain camera traps

open access: yesScientific Reports
Wildlife camera trap (CT) surveys typically employ two-dimensional equal-area grid sampling, which often neglects the influence of complex mountainous terrain on species distribution, potentially yielding misleading outcomes.

Artemisinin: From Chinese Herbal Medicine to Modern Chemotherapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Malaria is a disease that has blighted humankind since early times. The first antimalarial treatment available to Europeans was the dried bark of the cinchona tree from Peru. The main problem in its use was adulteration by other material.
