The purpose of the study is to identify a complex of segetal plant species in the fields of agricultural crops. The surveyed area is located in the basin of the Osetr river and its tributaries the Osetrik and the Unitza ...

Abstract Background Invasive candidiasis (IC) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among critically ill and immunocompromised patients. The emergence of antifungal resistance, especial...

An unintended consequence of wind energy generation is bat fatalities caused by wind turbine blade strikes. One potential approach to reduce collision risk is to use ultrasound to create an uncomfortable or disorienting ...

Fine-scale heterogeneity in soil nutrient availability can enhance plant growth, yet its effect across soil depth remains inadequately understood. Communities with increased species diversity showed varying growth strate...

Abstract Multiple drivers of global change are causing rapid biodiversity loss worldwide. However, predicting species’ trajectories remains challenging due to the dynamic and state-dependent nature of ecological respon...

Abstract Medicinal leeches are rich in various antithrombotic components, holding significant pharmaceutical value. To investigate the differences in potential antithrombotic capacity among species, this study utilized t...

Two perennial goldenrods, Solidago canadensis and S. gigantea (Asteraceae), are considered successful plant invaders with an exceptional ability to affect the biodiversity and environment of native ecosystems in Europe. ...

The Pholcus nagasakiensis species group is a relatively small group, comprising only five species. Of these, four species inhabit Kyushu Island in mainland Japan, the Ryukyu Archipelago and the Diaoyu Islands of China, w...

Acanthocephala, with 40 known species, is the most diverse genus of the tribe Acanthocephalini, which contains some of the largest species of Coreidae. In this contribution, Acanthocephala guatemalena, A. granulosa, A. l...

Abstract Background Infections caused by members of the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex are generally mild and confined to skin and soft tissues, while severe disease in immunocompetent individuals is uncommon. Within th...

Annonaceae is a family of approximately 2,430 species of angiosperms, about 70 of which contribute to the diversity of Mexico's tropical forests. Some species produce pleasant fruits, others generate essences used in per...

Industrial and agricultural activities as well as the combustion of fossil fuels lead to increased levels of sulphur (S) deposition in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, affecting soil acidity and plant communities. Loc...

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection of humans and its spillover into new species illustrates the need for effective predictive tools designed to identify host ranges of emerging zoonotic viruses. We hypothesized that host rece...

To clarify the taxonomic identities of newly-collected Selaginella specimens from Guizhou, south-western China, we briefly reviewed the Selaginella species recorded in Guizhou and conducted a study integrating morphologi...

Abstract Understanding the distributions of rare species is necessary to guide monitoring and inform species recovery efforts. The rusty patched bumble bee (RPBB; Bombus affinis, Cresson) is an endangered species with an...

Riparian vegetation is the buffer zone between the aquatic ecosystem of a river and the terrestrial ecosystem. Trees are a typical feature of many ecosystems. Understanding the diversity and geographic distribution of tr...

The recent expansion of biodiversity recording through citizen science projects represents a valuable tool for enriching our knowledge of biota. Given the rapid ecosystem changes driven by human activities, plant communi...

Altitudinal gradients are frequently used to study Lepidoptera diversity. The study site, situated in the Munsiari Subdivision of Pithoragarh District, Kumaun Himalaya, was divided into transects along the altitudinal gr...

Abstract Amaranthus spinosus L. is a member of the Amaranthaceae family, commonly known as the spiny amaranth, or spiny pigweed. It is native to the tropical Americas, but is present on most continents as an introduced s...

Abstract Many pests and diseases affect agricultural and commercial crops, resulting in potential yield losses. It has been shown that microbial biocontrol agents, such as Bacillus species, are efficient alternatives to ...

The ongoing biodiversity disappearance on islands worldwide is alarming. Without an accurate biodiversity assessment, it is impossible to stop the loss of the world’s islands irreplaceable natural heritage. To assess b...

Abstract Background Despite ongoing reports of malaria from health facilities in central Ethiopia, entomological evidence on local vectors remains scarce. This study investigated Anopheles species composition, host prefe...

Introduction: Land-use changes have transformed many Mediterranean ecosystems in ways that can adversely affect ectotherms such as reptiles. Range-edge reptile populations may be especially sensitive to such changes, as ...
