First identification of Parnassius apollo and P. nomion (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) larval host plants in Mongolia

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020
We initiated a project to study the ecology of P. apollo and the more common congener P. nomion, which is sympatric in Mongolia. One of our primary goals was to gather data on P. apollo and P.

Metabolomics of Eryngium heterophyllum by UHPLC‐QToF‐MS and In Silico Insights Into Potential Metabolic Syndrome Targets

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Eryngium heterophyllum has 85 metabolites according to nontargeted UHPLC‐QTOF‐MS profiling, with flavonoids and phenylpropionic acids emerging as significantly related bioactive families. In silico compound–disease–target networks connect 31 metabolites to inflammation, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease associated with metabolic syndrome ...

Up on the roof and down in the dirt: Differences in substrate properties (SOM, potassium, phosphorus and pH) and their relationships to each other between sedum and wildflower green roofs.

PLoS ONE, 2019
In urban areas green roofs provide important environmental advantages in regard to biodiversity, storm water runoff, pollution mitigation and the reduction of the urban heat island effect.

Botanical inventory of the early book herbaria of Leonhard Rauwolf from southern France and northern Italy (1560–1563)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Sixteenth‐century herbaria are the oldest plant collections that survive today and, as such, they provide valuable insights in past floras and historical botanical interactions. One of the most fascinating still extant 16th‐century herbaria is the four‐volume collection of the German physician, botanist and traveler Leonhard Rauwolf (1535 ...

Representativity of CO2 Exchange on Extensive Green Roofs: Scaling From Leaf to Plant, and Plant to Roof Scale

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Urban green roofs have potential for local urban climate change mitigation, as they have been demonstrated to uptake carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. However, most roofs are too small to qualify for area‐integrating direct surface‐atmosphere exchange measurements using the eddy covariance technique (EC), resulting in sparse data on ...

Urban heat mitigation by roof surface materials during the East Asian summer monsoon

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Roof surface materials, such as green and white roofs, have attracted attention in their role in urban heat mitigation, and various studies have assessed the cooling performance of roof surface materials during hot and sunny summer seasons.

Food Plant Availability Constrains Climatic Niches of Host‐Specialized Europe‐Centred Butterflies

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Evaluating whether host plants can constrain the current distribution of host‐specialized butterflies as well as their ability to adapt ranges to climate change at cold and warm range margins. Location Continental Europe. Time Period Current to end of 21st century. Major Taxa Studied Butterflies. Methods We determined thermal niche margins

Plant functional traits and species mixtures drive extensive green roof community performance at the establishment stage

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Conceptual graphical abstract illustrating how plant diversity and functional trait variation on green roofs may enhance ecosystem functioning and service provision. Mixed‐species communities with greater variation in traits such as leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf dry matter content and plant height are hypothesized to improve ecosystem services ...

Moving beyond environmental filtering hypotheses: Deciphering the drivers of congeneric plant introductions in an oceanic archipelago

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Understanding why only some species succeed in naturalizing and invading ecosystems has intrigued scientists since Darwin's time. The pre‐adaptation hypothesis posits that introduced species closely related to natives, therefore ecologically similar, are more likely to establish than others.
