Nesting innovations in neotropical parrots associated to anthropogenic environmental changes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
Most parrots are obligate cavity nesters, so the logging of mature trees and the transformation of natural cliffs represent important threats to their conservation. Here, we report novel observations of Neotropical parrots nesting in previously unrecorded substrates.

GC-MS, alpha-amylase, and alpha-glucosidase inhibition and molecular docking analysis of selected phytoconstituents of small wild date palm fruit (Phoenix pusilla). [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr, 2023
The methanolic extract of Phoenix pusilla ripened fruits (PPRF) was analyzed through in vitro porcine pancreatic alpha‐amylase (PPAA) inhibition activity assay and gas chromatography–mass‐spectrometry (GC‐MS). The current study suggested that the methanolic extract of PPRF and its phytoconstituents can be considered as potent antidiabetic agents ...

Pest categorisation of coconut cadang-cadang viroid. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2023
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health updated its 2017 pest categorisation of coconut cadang cadang viroid (CCCVd) for the EU territory due to new data on its host range. The identity of CCCVd, a member of the genus Cocadviroid (family Pospiviroidae), is established and detection and identification methods are available.

Urbanization of seed dispersal networks. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Rapid urban expansion is affecting the composition of wild communities and creating novel ecosystems worldwide. Seed dispersal is key for ecosystem persistence, particularly in fragmented landscapes. However, generalizations regarding the impacts of urbanization are still difficult due to the lack of studies encompassing the urban matrix.

Host plant recognition by two odorant‐binding proteins in Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4521-4534, November 2023., 2023
Rhynchophorus ferrugineus odorant binding protein 8 and odorant binding protein 11 are validated to be involved in the perception of eight host plant volatiles and aggregation pheromone ferrugineol. Abstract BACKGROUND Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, the red palm weevil (RPW), is a key pest that attacks many economically important palm species and that has ...

First Report of Neovaginatispora fuckelii Causing Leaf Spot on Phoenix canariensis [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2021
Phoenix canariensis Chabaud is a vital ornamental and widely planted in the urban landscape of China (Lan et al. 2019). In December 2019, six of seven P. canariensis plants exhibited typical symptoms of leaf spot in Chengdu campus of Sichuan Agricultural University in Sichuan, China, with roughly 80% leaves per plant affected.

Effects of climate change on the distribution of plant species and plant functional strategies on the Canary Islands

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 9, Page 1157-1171, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Oceanic islands possess unique floras with high proportions of endemic species. Island floras are expected to be severely affected by changing climatic conditions as species on islands have limited distribution ranges and small population sizes and face the constraints of insularity to track their climatic niches.
