Accurately assessing the natural variation in biodiversity is crucial as a baseline for monitoring trends and attributing them to natural or anthropogenic drivers. To assess this baseline, we estimated the species richness, composition and abundance...

For the first time, field surveys for exploring the diversity and composition of shallow-water polyplacophorans in West Antarctica have been conducted. During the austral summer sampling campaigns of 2022, 2023 and 2024, a total of 1717 specimens of...

The urbanization and the expansion of human settlements led to the adaptation of many animal species to living close to humans, often using buildings for roosting. Panel buildings are particularly attractive to rock-dwelling animals such as swifts, s...

The relationships among species and the mechanics of those relationships are very complicated in mixed forests, and allelopathy is one of the most important mediators of these relationships. The types and quantities of allelopathic chemicals are diff...

Parancistrocerus fulvipes (Saussure) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), a predatory potter wasp, plays a crucial role in ecosystem services by preying on microlepidopteran larvae. This study investigated the effect of the temperature on the spring emergence an...

Secondary metabolites (SM) in plants play crucial pharmacological, ecological, and nutritional roles for humans, wildlife, and livestock. Environmental Heterogeneity (EH) encompasses the variability of biotic and abiotic factors that influence biolog...

Convolvulus persicus L. is an endangered narrow-range taxon, characteristic of the habitats along the coastal regions of the Caspian and the Black Seas. The aims of our research were to update the actual distribution area and the genetic evaluation o...

The sustainability of reforestation initiatives depends on the involvement of local communities, whose lack of ownership compromises efforts to combat deforestation in the Lubumbashi Charcoal Production Basin. This study assesses reforestation activi...

The Central European fauna, in the last decades, has been undergoing a strong transformation due to four main factors: the retreat of living organisms that require cool and wet habitats, the proliferation of organisms that thrive in warm and dry cond...

Benthic diatoms are being used as indicators to assess the biological quality of surface waters in Kosovo. The Klina River is the left tributary of the White Drin River Basin, with a length of 69 km. The study assessed the level of surface water qual...
