Shifts in diversification rates and host jump frequencies shaped the diversity of host range among Sclerotiniaceae fungal plant pathogens [PDF]
The range of hosts that a parasite can infect in nature is a trait determined by its own evolutionary history and that of its potential hosts. However, knowledge on host range diversity and evolution at the family level is often lacking.

First steps towards a floral structural characterization of the major rosid subclades [PDF]
A survey of our own comparative studies on several larger clades of rosids and over 1400 original publications on rosid flowers shows that floral structural features support to various degrees the supraordinal relationships in rosids proposed by ...

Diversity and distribution of arthropods in native forests of the Azores archipelago [PDF]
Since 1999, our knowledge of arthropods in native forests of the Azores has improved greatly. Under the BALA project (Biodiversity of Arthropods of Laurisilva of the Azores), an extensive standardised sampling protocol was employed in most of the native

Geographic and Biological Drivers Shape Anthropogenic Extinctions in the Macaronesian Vascular Flora
The anthropogenic extinction patterns and processes of the vascular flora in the model island region of Macaronesia have been investigated in the present study. We compiled all known extinction records, both at global and local scales, across the five archipelagos comprising the region (Azores, Madeira, Salvajes, Canary Islands, and Cabo Verde).

Abstract Ostrya carpinifolia L., a member of the Betulaceae family, is a tree endemic to the Mediterranean basin that is well known for the hardness of its wood. In this study, we assess the anti‐pollution activities of a hydroalcoholic extract of O. carpinifolia twigs using several judiciously selected in vitro cosmetic bioassays.

Long-term monitoring across elevational gradients to assess ecological hypothesis : a description of standardized sampling methods in oceanic islands and first results [PDF]
We are launching a long-term study to characterize the biodiversity at different elevations in several Azorean Islands. Our aim is to use the Azores as a model archipelago to answer the fundamental question of what generates and maintains the global ...
