Phylogenetic Relationships, Character Evolution, and Two New Species in <i>Hemiboea</i> (Didymocarpoideae, Trichosporeae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This paper describes two new species of Hemiboea based on molecular and morphological evidence. Furthermore, we trace the evolution of eight important morphological characters in Hemiboea, which indicates whether the involucre is early deciduous and whether there are two protuberances on the inner ventral surface of the corolla, which may be the key ...

Monitoring the Prevalence and Distribution of Chytrid Fungus (<i>Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis</i>) in the Kihansi Spray Toad (<i>Nectophrynoides asperginis</i>) Population in the Kihansi Gorge Spray Wetlands, Tanzania. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
How to manage the continued impact of Chytrid fungus on Kihansi Spray Toad population in the wild. ABSTRACT Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is fatal to some amphibian species, whereas others can carry the pathogen without developing disease.

Wild Ungulates and Cattle Have Different Effects on Litter Decomposition as Revealed by Fecal Addition in a Northeast Asian Temperate Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here we used a litterbag experiment to investigate the effects of the addition of cattle and sika deer (Cervus nippon) feces on litter decomposition in Northeast China. Our work highlights that feces deposition by large herbivores (e.g., wild or domestic) in the forest have nonequivalent effects on litter decomposition.

Spatiotemporal Impacts of Forest Fires on Mountain Vegetation: A Case Study From Langtang National Park, Nepal Himalaya. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A good positive correlation was found between maximum temperature and burn area; increased temperature relates to an increase in fire activity and larger burn areas. Grassland and needle leaf forests are the major land cover types with relatively high fire frequency, likely due to flammable biomass and seasonal dryness, while broad leaved closed ...

Endangered status and threatened population ecological factors in Salvia daiguii, an endemic species from Hunan, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Currently, Salvia daiguii is distributed in three populations, with total of about 500 plants and less than 250 mature individuals. Habitat OM and pH are indicators that significantly affect the growth and flowering of S. daiguii. Competition for niche characteristics of dominant plants in the community affects the growth and dispersal of S.

Evaluating the ability of wetland mitigation banks to replace plant species lost from destroyed wetlands

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 6, Page 990-998, June 2023., 2023
Many of the plant species present in wetlands that are vulnerable to development were absent from wetland mitigation banks. Policies intended to ensure equivalence between impacted wetlands and banks did not ensure protection of biodiversity. If preservation of taxonomic diversity is to be a goal of offsetting, offset policies will need to ensure that ...
