Different Flowering Strategies Ensure Reproductive Success in Two Coexisting Self‐Incompatible Orchids [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionOrchids have evolved diverse reproductive strategies to overcome pollinator limitation and pollen discounting from geitonogamy, particularly in self‐incompatible species. This study compares two coexisting, self‐incompatible orchids (Pholidota articulata

Exploring Habitat Preferences, Suitability, and Illegal Trade Routes of Indian Pangolins in Western Pakistan: Implications for Conservation. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study assessed habitat preferences, suitability, and illegal trade routes of the endangered Indian pangolin in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Using field surveys and MaxEnt modeling, we identified fragmented habitats with only 22% classified as highly suitable, alongside key poaching and trafficking pathways.

Spatial Distribution, Abundance, and Threats to the Indian Pangolin (<i>Manis crassicaudata</i>) in Buner District, Lesser Himalayas. [PDF]
Ecol EvolFirst quantitative study of the Indian pangolin population in Buner District. GIS mapping revealed uneven spatial distribution across elevation zones. ABSTRACT The Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata), an elusive and endangered mammal, remains poorly studied in Pakistan, particularly in the mountain landscapes of the Lesser Himalayas.
