Diversity of Fagaceae on Hainan Island of South China During the Middle Eocene: Implications for Phytogeography and Paleoecology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The Fagaceae family is currently widespread throughout tropical and temperate regions of South America and the Northern Hemisphere, especially East Asia, and has likely been so since the Eocene, according to fossil records. In China, Fagaceae fossils are

Diversity, Ecology and Phytogeography of Bryophytes across Temperate Forest Communities-Insight from Mt. Papuk (Croatia, SE Europe). [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2023
It has been widely documented that the complex structure of forest ecosystems supports considerable bryophyte species and functional diversity. In this study, we assessed the diversity, distribution and ecological and phytogeographical features of ...

A First Quantification of Plant Endemism in the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe-Mozambique) and the Significance of Open Habitats. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...

Where and What Kind-A Better Understanding of Local and Landscape Features in Planning the Urban Flower Meadows for Supporting Bee Communities. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our multifaceted approach revealed that the mosaics of habitats surrounding urban flower meadows are at least as necessary to support bees as the local features of UFMs. An abundance of bees responded positively to the number of flowering units, the blue and yellow colors of flowers, and increased cover of industrial areas, green urban areas, and ...

The phytogeography of moist forests across Eastern Zimbabwe

Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background and aims – During the 1970s, a comprehensive survey of moist forest areas across Zimbabwe’s Eastern Highlands was carried out, from Nyanga in the north to Chirinda Forest in the south. All tree stems 8 cm diameter or greater in both canopy and

Floristic Diversity and Phytogeography of JABAL Fayfa: A Subtropical Dry Zone, South-West Saudi Arabia

Diversity, 2020
The present study surveyed the flora of the Jebel Fayfa region, South-West Saudi Arabia to analyze four elements of the vegetation: floristic diversity, life form, lifespan, and phytogeographical affinities. A total of 341 species of vascular plants were

Seasonal variation of Ganoderma spore concentrations in urban and suburban districts of the city of Szczecin, Poland

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2015
According to recent studies, Ganoderma may be the third genus, after Alternaria and Cladosporium, the spores of which cause symptoms of allergy, and concentration is related to meteorological factors.

The diversity and structure of plant communities in the maritime Antarctic is shaped by southern giant petrel’s (Macronectes giganteus) breeding activities

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
Southern giant petrels (Macronectes giganteus) are found in the Antarctic. They build their nests with rock fragments, disturbing large areas during incubation and chick feeding periods; however, their impact on vegetation is unknown.

Does Phytogeography Change with Shifts in Geopolitics? The Curious Case of Cycads in the United States

Diversity, 2020
The United States is currently home to five native cycad species. We provide a discussion on these five cycad species to illuminate how evolutionary and geopolitical processes influence phytogeography and published checklists of threatened plants.
