Seagrass species diversity in Tanzania based on morphological and molecular data

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Seagrass diversity along the Tanzanian coast has been documented mainly through morphology, with limited molecular reference data available for Tanzania and the wider Western Indian Ocean. This study combined morphological identification with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

Local topographic and biotic neighborhood factors influence tree survival in a tropical dry forest, western Thailand

Ecological Processes
Background Understanding variations in tree mortality and survival is essential to interpreting community dynamics and demographic processes. Tree size and both biotic and abiotic factors are among the local-scale drivers proposed to be essential to ...

Taxonomic revision of the genus Tzveleviochloa (Poaceae, Aveninae) in India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The taxonomy of Tzveleviochloa in India is revised based on morphological evidence, comprehensive observations of herbarium specimens and field records, and several botanical explorations in the study area. The accepted diversity is increased from two to five species, including two recently described species. The genus is distributed in the Western and

Recovery of bird activity and species richness in an early-stage tropical forest restoration

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2019
Bird habitat creation is often a goal of tropical forest restoration because bird-driven ecosystem services can accelerate forest recovery. However, resident tropical bird responses are not well characterized in the earliest years following restoration ...

Taxonomy of a novel and a new geographical record of Nigropunctata species (Pallidoperidiaceae) on Bambusa vulgaris from northern Thailand

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Nigropunctata is an understudied genus of bambusicolous fungi, and its diversity in Thailand remains poorly known. This study aimed to investigate species of Nigropunctata associated with bamboo in Thailand using morphological observations along with multi‐locus phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit (LSU), RNA ...

Taxonomy and phylogeny of the intercontinental disjunctive ferns: series Reniformia Adiantum

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
There are disputed opinions about the three taxa of series Reniformia, namely A. nelumboides X.C.Zhang (A. reniforme var. sinense Y.X.Lin), A. reniforme var. reniforme, and A. reniforme var. asarifolium (Willd.) R. Sim, owing to their similar morphology but intercontinental disjunctive distribution and close lineage with the series Venusta (only ...

A new combination in Strophopappus (Asteraceae, Vernonieae, Lepidaploinae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Revisions of herbarium collections reveal a new combination in Strophopappus (Asteraceae, Vernonieae, Lepidaploinae). Strophopappus comprises nine species occurring in South America, eight of which are endemic to Brazil. Currently, Vernonia riedeliana is treated as a synonym of Strophopappus bicolor.

Canscora agni (Gentianaceae), a new species from the fire‐prone Indian savannas

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
We describe Canscora agni from the Indian savannas as a distinct species which differs from its allied species Canscora alata in having fewer and shorter leaves, pedicel‐wings unequal across the length, bracts with glandular hair on the margins, calyx‐wings being four, wider, up to 2.3 mm, with distinct reticulate venation and having ovary length up to
