The Effects of Landscape Change on Plant Diversity and Structure in the Bale Mountains National Park, Southeastern Ethiopia

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Bale Mountains National Park is one of the protected areas in Ethiopia that holds the largest area of Afroalpine habitat in Africa and the second largest stand of moist tropical forest.

Generalist southern African temperate forest canopy tree species have distinct pollinator communities partially predicted by floral traits

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2024.
Pollination systems of tall forest trees are poorly studied, resulting from the difficulties in observing pollinator activity at canopy level and great temporal variation in flower production. Here, we observed insect flower visitors, at canopy level, to four southern Afrotemperate forest tree species bearing small, white to green flowers in a large ...

Invasion of an Afrotemperate forest complex by the polyphagous shot hole borer beetle

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 172, Issue 4, Page 354-369, April 2024.
Polyphagous shot hole borer, Euwallacea fornicatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae), is a serious invasive tree‐killing pest that has not been studied in natural forest systems. We determined the drivers of PSHB colonization in 1682 trees (68 species) in a native Afrotemperate forest.
