Geographic and Biological Drivers Shape Anthropogenic Extinctions in the Macaronesian Vascular Flora
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.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).

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 330-341, December 2024.Despite the availability of data on plants and their pollinators from the Indian sub‐continent, detailed investigations that explain the intricacy of the mutualistic interaction at both population and community levels have largely been limited. This review explores the current status of pollination ecology research in India and suggests future ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 566-572, December 2024.Female simuliid species traits of voltinism and feeding produce 5 two‐trait states: non‐feeding/univoltine, ornithophilic/univoltine, mammalophilic/univoltine, ornithophilic/multivoltine, mammalophilic/multivoltine. We examined latitudinal variation in each two‐trait state using three large databases.

Nectar as food for birds: The physiological consequences of drinking dilute sugar solutions [PDF]
, 2003 Nectarivory has evolved many times in birds: although best known in hummingbirds, sunbirds and honeyeaters, it also occurs on an opportunistic basis in a varied assortment of birds. We present a phylogenetic analysis of the distribution of nectarivory in

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 136-148, January 2024.Sunbird‐plant interactions on MountCameroon are driven by both neutral and niche‐based processes. The importance of niche‐based processes increases during the rainy season, due to the phenology of specialized of ornithophilous flowers. Moreover, we can confirm the importance of the correlation between tube and bill length.
