Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges
Oikos, EarlyView.Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

Determining the quality of the powders of Xanthium Strumarium and Xanthium Spinosum by microscopic examination and preliminary tests [PDF]
SN Applied Sciences, 2020 Xanthium strumarium and Xanthium spinosum are found in many parts of the world and they are used in traditional medicine in many countries. Several studies have shown some medicinal effects for X. strumarium parts (leaves–seedlings–flowers–roots–fruits), and of the leaves of X. spinosum to treat some diseases. This paper is designed to set standards in

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Temporary ponds in the Mediterranean climate have a high conservation value, but many have been severely destroyed or degraded. Pond restoration and new pond creation have been engaged widely. Evaluations of the success of such operations are generally carried out over 10–15 years and show divergent results over this timeframe. In
