Phylogenetic Endemism and Ancestral Area Inference Reveal Historical Refugia in the Greater Cape Floristic Region

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Refugial areas and habitats are thought to have played a key role in facilitating both the emergence and persistence of floristic diversity in the Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) of South Africa. While refugial areas may be identified using a diversity of biological proxies (e.g., narrow‐range endemism; paleoendemism), there is a ...

Genetic and morphological analyses support the reinstatement of Schoenus vacillans (Cyperaceae) as distinct from S. apogon

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2650-2665, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Schoenus vacillans is a sedge described from New Zealand in 1878 by Thomas Kirk. However, for over one hundred years, S. vacillans has been considered a synonym of the morphologically‐variable S. apogon, which occurs in New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan, New Guinea and possibly Japan. Here we investigate the taxonomic status of S.

Synthesis of pyrrolizines by intramolecular capture of 1,4-dipolar intermediates in reactions of enamines with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
Solvent polarity and reaction temperature strongly influence the reactions of dimethyl acetylenedicar-boxylate (DMAD) with 1-pyrrolidinyl enamines of acyclic and cyclic ketones. Whereas DMAD and 1-[1-phenyl-2-(phenylthio)ethenyl]pyrrolidine (3) give only

Managing hedgerows for biodiversity: Disentangling the effects of trimming, structure and connectivity on the use of linear features by bats

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3300-3313, December 2025.
Our findings underscore the value of extensive hedgerow management in promoting on‐farm bat activity and support the integration of simple hedgerow quality assessment protocols into agri‐environment schemes. Consistent with previous research, we confirm the importance of tall, tree‐filled hedgerows and emphasise the need to preserve mature trees.

Nitrate And Bicarbonate Selective Chemfets [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The development of durable anion selective CHEMFET micro sensors is described. Selectivity in these sensors is either obtained from differences in hydration energy of the anions (the Hlofmeister series, giving nitrate selectivity) or by introduction of a
