Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

Variation in biodiversity and abundance of functional groups of arthropods along a tropical elevational gradient in Puerto Rico

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
We measured arboreal arthropod abundance and diversity along two 700 m transects differing in plant composition from 300 m to 1000 m a.s.l. at the Luquillo Experimental Forest LTER site in Puerto Rico. Arthropod abundance and diversity declined with elevation.

Seed freeze sensitivity and ex situ longevity of 295 species in the native Hawaiian flora

American Journal of Botany, Volume 106, Issue 9, Page 1248-1270, September 2019., 2019
Premise Ex situ seed banking is critical for plant conservation globally, especially for threatened floras in tropical ecosystems like Hawai‘i. Seed bank managers must maximize longevity, and species managers must plan restoration before seeds lose viability.

Medicinal Plants for the Treatment of Local Tissue Damage Induced by Snake Venoms: An Overview from Traditional Use to Pharmacological Evidence

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Snakebites are a serious problem in public health due to their high morbimortality. Most of snake venoms produce intense local tissue damage, which could lead to temporary or permanent disability in victims. The available specific treatment is the antivenom serum therapy, whose effectiveness is reduced against these effects.
