The ecology, biogeography, history and future of two globally important weeds : Cardiospermum halicacabum Linn. and C. grandiflorum Sw. [PDF]
, 2013 Members of the balloon vine genus, Cardiospermum, have been extensively moved around the globe as medicinal and horticultural species, two of which are now widespread invasive species; C. grandiflorum and C. halicacabum. A third species, C. corindum, may

Ecology Letters, Volume 26, Issue S1, Page S127-S139, September 2023., 2023 Theoretically, eco‐evolutionary dynamics mediated by changes in trait variation could be as important as those mediated by changes in trait means. Yet, no study has comprehensively summarised how phenotypic variation is changing in contemporary populations facing human disturbances.

Conservation evo-devo: preserving biodiversity by understanding its origins [PDF]
, 2017 Unprecedented rates of species extinction increase the urgency for effective conservation biology management practices. Thus, any improvements in practice are vital and we suggest that conservation can be enhanced through recent advances in evolutionary ...

IN VITRO SHOOT REGENERATION FROM WESTERN SOAPBERRY [PDF]
HortScience, 1992 Surface sterilized stem nodal sections of western soapberry (Sapindus drummondii Hook. & Arn.) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. The basal media consisted of one half and full strength MS medium each supplemented with the following (mg-1): Nicotinic acid 0.5, pyridoxine Hcl 0.5, Glycine 2.0, myo-inositol 100, sucrose 30,000 and agar

The influence of postfire recovery and environmental conditions on boreal vegetation
Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Climate change is increasing the frequency and extent of fires in the boreal biome of North America. These changes can alter the recovery of both canopy and understory vegetation. There is uncertainty about plant and lichen recovery patterns following fire, and how they are mediated by environmental conditions.

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Indigenous land stewardship and mixed‐severity fire regimes both promote landscape heterogeneity, and the relationship between them is an emerging area of research. In our study, we reconstructed the historical fire regime of Ne Sextsine, a 5900‐ha dry, Douglas fir–dominated forest in the traditional territory of the T'exelc (Williams Lake ...

Global distribution of soapberries (Sapindus L.) habitats under current and future climate scenarios [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractSapindus (Sapindus L.) is a widely distributed economically important tree genus that provides biodiesel, biomedical and biochemical products. However, with climate change, deforestation, and economic development, the diversity of Sapindus germplasms may face the risk of destruction. Therefore, utilising historical environmental data and future

Berries as a case study for crop wild relative conservation, use, and public engagement in Canada
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 558-578, November 2022., 2022 Plant biodiversity is fundamental to the future of food security and agriculture. Berries are the most economically important fruit crops in Canada. Within this article, we explore the nutritional, cultural, and botanical importance of berries, including crop wild relatives (plant species that are closely related to domesticated crops) and plants that ...

Vortex fluidics-mediated DNA rescue from formalin-fixed museum specimens. [PDF]
, 2020 DNA from formalin-preserved tissue could unlock a vast repository of genetic information stored in museums worldwide. However, formaldehyde crosslinks proteins and DNA, and prevents ready amplification and DNA sequencing.

Detection of equine atypical myopathy-associated hypoglycin A in plant material: Optimisation and validation of a novel LC-MS based method without derivatisation [PDF]
, 2018 Hypoglycin A (HGA) toxicity, following ingestion of material from certain plants, is linked to an acquired multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency known as atypical myopathy, a commonly fatal form of equine rhabdomyolysis seen worldwide.
