Seed Floras in Seabird Nests and the Possibility of Adhesion to Seabird Feathers via Their Nests

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Nests are important links between seabirds and plants, and are thought to initiate epizoochory of seabirds. 24 seed species were found in pelagic seabird nests, and 16 species of them had the potential to adhere to seabirds. Our finding indicates an overlooked pathway for the long distance dispersal of plants; epizoochory mediated by nests.

The Effects of Lantana camara L. on Soil Physicochemical Properties in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Lantana camara L. is an invasive alien plant species that is recognised globally due to its extensive distribution and negative impacts on species diversity and ecosystem dynamics. Despite its extensive distribution in South Africa, its physicochemical impacts on soils are understudied. This study investigated the impacts of L.

Shola tree regeneration is lower under Lantana camara L. thickets in the upper Nilgiris plateau, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2019
Lantana camara is a dominant invasive shrub in many protected areas of India including the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (NBR).  We conducted a study to assess the regeneration potential of endemic native (shola) trees under different levels of Lantana ...

Ecological Plasticity Explains the Distribution of Sympatric and Allopatric Mouse Lemurs (Microcebus spp.) in Northeastern Madagascar

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Species distributions are shaped by complex biotic and abiotic interactions, which are often not fully understood. We investigated the ecological basis of co‐occurrence and distribution of four partially sympatric and allopatric cryptic mouse lemur species (Microcebus spp.) in the Ambatosoa and Analanjirofo region of northeastern Madagascar ...

Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as

A Preliminary Assessment of Hedge Plant Species and Their Distribution in Rural Eastern Africa and Their Potential Role in Driving Invasions

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Alien plant species are widely utilised for ornament, agro‐forestry, or even for restoration and are more likely to be introduced multiple times and disseminated widely across a landscape. Here we report on the native and alien species used for hedging purposes in rural and peri‐urban eastern Africa and undertake a preliminary assessment to ...
