Campylomorphushomalisinus has been found on Mt. Lesima (Northern Apennines) and it is the first record for the Lombardy region. Campylomorphushomalisinus is a rare orophilous species: it has a discontinuous chorology that may have been caused by glaciers dynamics during the Pleistocene era. Little is known about the ecology of the species. This record and the expert-based investigation we perfo...

Clinical marine toxicology is a rapidly changing area. Many of the new discoveries reported every year in Europe involve ecological disturbances--including global warming--that have induced modifications in the chorology, behavior, and toxicity of many species of venomous or poisonous aquatic life including algae, ascidians, fish and shellfish. These changes have raised a number of public issue...

Abstract The establishment and spread of invasive alien plant species (IAPS) outside their natural habitats have irreversibly affected native biodiversity in almost every habitat type. For Southern Transylvania, we recognise that there are about 200 adventive plants. From those, selected 18 IAPS occupy riparian habitats, the most common, abundant, frequent or with higher impact on human health....

A taxonomic revision of the Alchemilla in High Atlas Mountains has been carried out. This genus is represented Morocco by atlantica, A. gourzai, litardieri, mairei and a new taxon boratynskii, sp. nov., described here from range. Data on their chorology, ecology phenology, as well an identification key, are provided. The conservation status this newly narrow endemic other four taxa, also endemi...

CROFlora is a multi-user database application for species-oriented and specimen-ori­ ented systematic and taxonomic work on Croatian flora. It is designed for dealing with all kinds of data that are commonly used in systematic botany and floristic work. CROFlora comprises several main modules: (1) taxonomy, (2) herbarium, (3) literature, (4) chorology and (5) related data, such as ecology and m...

The species diversity of ostracods in the floodplain of the Chi River basin, Mahasarakham Province, Northeast Thailand was examined in this study. Twenty-two samples were collected in the cool season (February 2010). Twenty-six species belonging to 18 genera were recorded, three of which are new to the Oriental region (Fabaeformiscandona subacuta (Yang, 1982), Ilyocypris monstrifica (Norman, 18...
