BOTANY Ageratum is derived from the Greek “a geras,” meaning non-aging, referring to the longevity of the flowers or the whole plant. The specific epithet “conyzoides” is derived from “kónyz,” the Greek name of Inula helenium, which it resembles (Kissmann and Groth 1993). The synonyms of A. conyzoides include A. album Stend; A. caeruleum Hort. ex. Poir.; A. coeruleum Desf.; A. cordifolium Roxb....

This paper reviews some of the factors that affect fungal diversity in the marine milieu. Although total biodiversity is not affected by the available habitats, species composition is. For example, members of the Halosphaeriales commonly occur on submerged timber, while intertidal mangrove wood supports a wide range of Loculoascomycetes. The availability of substrata for colonization greatly af...

Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the causative agent of rainbow trout fry syndrome (RTFS), also called bacterial cold water disease (BCWD) in USA. Since being discovered in USA in the 1940s, the disease has spread to aquacultures worldwide [1]. Mortality rates as high as 90% have been reported in fry, although the mortality rate in Danish outbreaks average around 30–40%. Rainbow trout (Oncorhync...

Rising human activity in the Arctic, combined with a warming climate, increases probability of introduction and establishment alien plant species. While settlements are known hotspots for persistent populations, little is about colonization particularly susceptible natural habitats. Systematic monitoring lacking available survey methods vary greatly. Here, we present most comprehensive vascular...

Previous mapping studies have revealed that the frequency and large size of inverted repeat junction shifts in Apiaceae plastomes are unusual among angiosperms. To further examine plastome structural organization and inverted repeat evolution in the Apiales (Apiaceae + Araliaceae), we have determined the complete plastid genome sequences of five taxa, namely Anthriscus cerefolium (154,719 base ...
