Morphoanatomical injuries in Pistia stratiotes L. (Araceae) as a result of exposure to clomazone in water [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020
Contamination of water sources due to herbicide is of great concern. Clomazone is a pesticide with a high contamination potential which could possibility lixiviate to water streams.

Specificity ofLepidelphax pistiae(Hemiptera: Delphacidae) toPistia stratiotes(Araceae)

Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2014
The delphacid Lepidelphax pistiae was found on water lettuce in Argentina. Nymphs and adults did not survive past seven days on 29 species of test plants, and no progeny were produced. In contrast, survival and reproduction were high on water lettuce. Results suggest that L. pistiae is monospecific to water lettuce.

Characterizing the causes and consequences of calcium oxalate crystal presence in Vitis riparia

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Premise Calcium oxalate biomineralization in plants is phylogenetically widespread and morphologically diverse, but the function of these inorganic crystals is an area of active debate. The variety of environmental conditions that produce the crystals, as well as the inconsistent evidence that they provide antiherbivore defense across plant ...

Effect of the spatial heterogeneity on the predation of Scinax fuscovarius and Physalaemus cuvieri tadpoles by Odonata larvae - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v32i2.4835

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2010
The objective of this work were to analyze the effect of predation by Odonata naiads on two amphibian species with distinct habits – benthic and mid-water – and to verify whether the presence and architecture of macrophytes can mediate this interaction ...

The Complete Chloroplast Genome of a Vietnam Endemic Aroid, Homalomena perplexa K.Z.Hein, Vuong, Bao & V.S.Dang, and Updated Comparative Genomics in Araceae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The complete chloroplast genome of Homalomena perplexa, an endemic aroid to Vietnam, was completely sequenced and characterized. In addition, comparative genomic analysis revealed junction variations and phylogenetic analysis confirmed the infrafamilial relationships of Araceae.

Habitat Structure Shapes Mollusc Assemblages in an Urban Semiarid River: Implications for Conservation and Public Health

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fine‐scale environmental drivers shape freshwater mollusc assemblages in urban semiarid rivers. We examined how substrate composition and water chemistry influence mollusc richness and abundance along a polluted stretch of a river in the Brazilian semiarid region. Surveys at five sites recorded 2479 individuals.

THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF Spodoptera pectinicornis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) PROVIDED WITH ENHANCED NUTRITION FROM Pistia stratiotes FEEDING VIA FERTILIZATION

Agric
A monophage herbivorous insect called S. pectinicornis can be utilized to biologically control the weed Pistia stratiotes.  Insect mass reproduction followed by release into the target weed area is one technique that can be used. The quality of the feed
