Abstract:: ... Deforestation generates forest fragments within modified matrices with frequently detrimental outcomes for species persistence. In historically fragmented forests, however, species have evolved under fragmented conditions and might be more resistant to matrix modification. We examined the effect of contemporary matrix modification on forest regeneration potential in historically fragmented scarp-f ...

Abstract:: ... The present study investigated the environmental variables that define a suitable climate for the bronze bug, Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé, using presence‐only data, with the aim of identifying areas that have a suitable climate (and thus high probability) for future colonization and generating a spatially explicit predictive map of environmental suitability. An occurrence databa ...

Abstract:: ... BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plant uptake of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is increasingly leading to concerns about their potential exposure to humans and wildlife via dietary intake. Due to the extraordinary ability of biochars to bind organic compounds, plant uptake experiments were conducted to assess the effect of soil-amendment of three different biochars on the uptake of APIs from spiked ...

Abstract:: ... Woodlands comprised of planted, nonnative trees are increasing in extent globally, while native woodlands continue to decline due to human activities. The ecological impacts of planted woodlands may include changes to the communities of understory plants and animals found among these nonnative trees relative to native woodlands, as well as invasion of adjacent habitat areas through spread beyond t ...

Abstract:: ... Mosquitoes serve as vectors for a wide variety of human and veterinary pathogens and parasites and cause extensive morbidity and mortality, and are a major economic burden within disease-endemic countries. Protection against mosquitoes is based on insecticides. However, the negative effects of synthetic insecticides have become the main impetus for an expeditious search for new alternatives, which ...
