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...

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. ...

Across the globe, individuals continue to rely on plants to meet fundamental human requirements, including sustenance, attire, housing, and healthcare. Among the diverse plant families, Solanaceae houses thousands of spe...

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...

Uttar Pradesh (UP) is one of the largest states in India. Based on vegetation types, the state is divided into four main regions: the Terai Region, Gangetic Plains, Vindhyan, and Semi-arid Regions. These regions harbour ...

The diversity and distribution of wasps and bees in the Gauhati University campus, Kamrup Metro, Assam was investigated in four different habitats: campus gardens, grasslands, residential areas, and areas adjacent to wet...

ABSTRACT This study investigated the diversity of metazoan parasites in Colossoma macropomum from the Jari River, in the eastern Amazon, northern Brazil. We collected a total of 4966 parasites from 34 fishes, including m...

Abstract We present a study of the diversity, origin and dispersal syndromes of ruderal plants in an urban area in Central-West Brazil. We recorded 266 species in the urban area of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul state,...

Marine communities are changing at an accelerated rate because of anthropogenic stressors such as global warming and overfishing. Community compositional change over time (temporal β diversity) is mainly driven by the r...

Species richness and faunistic affinities of gammaridean and corophiidean amphipods from southern Tierra del Fuego were studied. The material was collected with dredges and grabs at 7 locations (15 sampling stations) in ...

Abstract The present study investigated the metazoan parasite community in Pimelodus ornatus from the Amazon River, in the state of Amapá (Brazil). Of 71 fish examined, 70.4% were parasitized by Demidospermus sp. (Monog...

It is estimated that there are between 2.2 and 3.8 million species of fungi, but only 3 to 8% are known. The order Agaricales in Argentina is not well known in certain areas and plant communities, as the Reserva Ecológi...

Abstract The study of the diversity of tick-borne agents in wild animals enables a better understanding of the distribution of pathogens in the country, the identification of potential reservoirs for these agents, the ma...

Annonaceae is a pantropical plant family that is an important component in Neotropical forests, yet its diversity, distribution and conservation status in Mexico has not been comprehensively synthesized. This study provi...

ABSTRACT This study was conducted in a fragment of montane seasonal semi-deciduous forest (Minas Gerais State) with a history of anthropogenic disturbance. Our goals were to characterise the composition, structure and fl...

This paper is a contribution to the current knowledge of taxonomy, ecology and distribution of South American Cortinarius (Pers.) Gray. Cortinarius is among the most widely distributed and species-rich basidiomycete gene...

Fish diversity is often challenging due to its labor-intensive and time-consuming, particularly when it comes to detecting rare and endemic fishes in fast-flowing waters. Environmental DNA metabarcoding has emerged as a ...

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...

Evaluación de la diversidad de plantas de sotobosque en plantaciones de pino Szemao (Pinus kesiya var. langbianensis) en Yunnan, China.— La sostenibilidad es un objetivo clave para la gestión tanto de bosques natural...

Niche dimensionality provides a general theoretical explanation for biodiversity-more niches, defined by more limiting factors, allow for more ways that species can coexist. Because plant species compete for the same set...

Village ponds serve as important micro-wetland habitats that support diverse avifauna yet are subject to anthropogenic pressures. The present study assessed the avifaunal diversity and seasonal variations in Ladhwaya Pon...

ABSTRACT The northeastern slope of the Andes is an area of high diversity of ferns and lycophytes. In this study we assessed the diversity patterns of ferns and lycophytes in ten 250 m x 2 m plots installed at three elev...

The Paraná River floodplain comprises one of the largest wetland systems of South America. In a sector of the Lower Paraná River floodplain (100km length, 3650km2), floristic composition and species diversity was chara...
