Taxonomic and functional plant diversity of the Santorini-Christiana island group (Aegean Sea, Greece) [PDF]

, 2019
This is the first attempt to analyse vascular plant diversity patterns regarding the seven vegetated islands of the Santorini archipelago (Aegean Sea, Greece) as a whole. Hitherto unpublished floristic records, combined with critical use of taxonomic and

Identification and Quantification of Volatile Organic Compounds and Bioaerosols in the Conservation Processes of Guanche Mummies

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Guanche mummies, ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands, represent a significant part of the historical heritage preserved at the Museum of Nature and Archaeology (MUNA) in Tenerife, Spain. These mummies, subjected to artificial conservation practices, are of great interest to conservators seeking to understand their mummification ...

High-resolution coproecology: Using coprolites to reconstruct the habits and habitats of New Zealand’s extinct upland Moa (Megalapteryx didinus) [PDF]

, 2005
Knowledge about the diet and ecology of extinct herbivores has important implications for understanding the evolution of plant defence structures, establishing the influences of herbivory on past plant community structure and composition, and identifying

Effects of nitrogen fertilizer rate on dry matter yield, nutritive values and nitrate nitrogen of Guineagrass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) extremely late cultivar “Umaku” as a summer annual grass in a warm temperate zone

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Cultivation as a summer annual grass in temperate regions of new extremely late‐maturing guineagrass cultivar “Umaku” without heading with fertilizer application entails risks of toxic nitrate nitrogen (nitrate‐N) concentration in the grass.

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...

Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).
