Aim Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche local abundance of plants can be predicted by sets (trait syndromes) or are driven single traits. Location Eurasia. Methods Species distribution maps were extracted from Chorological Database Halle to derive information on size for 456...

At same time, independence this taxon not recognized by authors mon...

Wetland ecosystems are important habitats for the growth and survival of numerous terrestrial orchids in Europe. This study reviews current knowledge on wetland vegetation Central Balkans. The orchid flora was analyzed from taxonomic, phytogeographical, ecological conservation aspects. most taxa include two Balkan endemics (Dactylorhiza cordigera subsp. bosniaca D. kalopissi macedonica) three s...

Wetlands are among the most fragile habitats on Earth and have often undergone major environmental changes. As a study case in this context, present work aims at increasing floristic knowledge of reclaimed land now turned into an agricultural lowland with scarce patches natural habitats. The area is named Piana di Rosia, it located southern Tuscany (Italy). compiled checklist consists 451 speci...

Ants are highly diverse in the Iberian Peninsula (IP), both species richness (299 cited species) and number of endemic (72). The ant fauna is one richest broader Mediterranean region, it similar to Balkan but lower than Greece or Israel, when controlled by surface area. In this first general study on biogeography ants, we propose seven chorological categories for grouping thems. Moreover, also ...

By the method of data re-collection and re-assessment, we here test completeness distribution areas species aggregates Rosa in Eastern Europe as mapped volume 13 Atlas Florae Europaeae (AFE), discuss insights into issues connected with data. We found many new occurrences which are additions to published maps: 1068 records 570 aggregates. The listed references sources, updated AFE maps provided....

Background & Aim: Kazeroon, with an area of about 4060 km², is situated at 110 km in the west of Shiraz, Fars province, Iran. This area is important for plant biodiversity, due to the presence of some important habitats such as international Lake of Parishan in the southeast, woodlands of Quercus persica in the east and branches of Shahpoor river in the west of the region. Therefore, f...
