Cannonia is a xylarioid genus originally described from the southern hemisphere (Argentina and Australia) growing on dead parts of palms. To date, the genus is considered monospecific and the only species recognized is C...

Chusquea Kunth and Rhipidocladum McClure species (Poaceae, Bambusoideae, Bambuseae) are the only two genera of woody bamboos whose distributions reach the southernmost portion of the Andes mountain range. The identificat...

A new species of Oxalis from Santa Cruz, Argentina is described. The new species, Oxalis morronei, belongs to O. section Palmatifoliae because of its general morphology and distribution, but differs from the other specie...

In order to identify concordant distributions of endemic vascular plants in the Monte desert, we analyzed the distributional data of 180 species endemic to the Monte desert with the optimality criterion implemented in th...

A antiga aproximação da economia à evolução darwiniana tem recebido propostas mais acabadas recentemente, destacando-se, de um lado, o "darwinismo universal" (Hodgson) a cuja metateoria a economia deveria sujeitar-s...

There are at least three different genealogical accounts of morality: the ontogenetic, the sociohistorical, and the evolutionary. One can thus construct, in principle, three distinct genealogical debunking arguments of m...

Throughout history, our capacity to shed tears has attracted the attention of poets, writers, philosophers, and scholars. Moreover, humans' fascination with tears is evident in the significant roles they played in legend...

Animals respond to environmental variation by exhibiting a number of different behaviours and/or rates of activity, which result in corresponding variation in energy expenditure. Successful animals generally maximize eff...

Notochthamalus scabrosus (Darwin 1854) is commonly attached to littoral rocks and shells, often associated with Notobalanus flosculus (Darwin 1854), and sometimes with Chthamalus cirratus (Darwin 1851). Notochthamalus sc...

Abstract A key factor contributing to the success of Darwin and Wallace’s theory of biological evolution by natural selection was its population-level perspective. This conceptual framework was not immediately adopted,...

Educators in the life sciences can be challenged by students who disagree with Darwin’s theory of evolution. This article analyses the history of Creationist’s attempts to introduce alternative explanations to Darwin...

Predating Darwin’s theory of evolution, the holotype of Saurodesmus robertsoni is a longstanding enigma. Found at the beginning of 1840s, the specimen is a damaged stylopodial bone over decades variably assigned to tur...

Anatomy and histochemistry of Cyperaceae fruits (including seeds) are poorly known due to their hard, isolating tissues that prevent anatomical techniques. We performed the first, most comprehensive structural diversity ...

ABSTRACT Cyathus berkeleyanus (Tul. & C.Tul.) Lloyd was originally collected by Charles Darwin in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The type material has been lost over the years, and the designation of a new type with a modern de...

In this review, we explore recent trends in optical micromanipulation by engineering light-matter interaction and controlling the mechanical effects of optical fields. One central theme is exploring the rich phenomena be...

Abstract Groundwater is a key water source for many Ghanaian communities, yet it remains highly vulnerable to pollution from human-induced activities, particularly in urban areas such as Kokompe, where domestic and indus...

Transitioning from petrochemical–derived products to sustainable bioprocesses requires low–cost inocula and robust operational strategies. Yet, the undefined mixed inocula (UMI) tunability from landfill ecosystems fo...

Abstract This study applies a stochastic framework to quantify Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) and related risks in soils of the Maluwe–Tinga–Wasipe corridor in the Savannah Region of Ghana. A total of 729 B-horizo...

A key characteristic of most woody bamboos is the process of cyclical flowering after a long vegetative period. These flowering events are generally gregarious, affecting an entire region, and are followed by the death o...
