(1) Background: local morphological variation can provide useful information to clarify the role of hybridization in Mediterranean oaks. Accordingly, we have characterized putative hybrids and oak species coexisting a highly diversified forest Algeria with four native (Quercus suber L., Q. ilex canariensis Willd., afares Pomel). (2) Methods: sixteen plots, including 89 trees from their were sam...

Insular floras, characterized by simple pollination networks, sometimes include novel mutualistic agents such as nonspecialist nectarivores. In this study we confirmed the effective pollination of Isoplexis canariensis by opportunistic nectar-feeding birds in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. This plant is among the ornithophilous species of the Canarian flora that lack past and present speciali...

Alluaudomyia canariensis Szadziewski & Dominiak sp. nov. from the Canary Islands and A. wyskokensis Szadziewski & Dominiak sp. nov. from Poland and Ukraine are described and illustrated. The genus Alluaudomyia is reported from the Canary Islands for the first time. The article is supplemented with a checklist and an identification key for the species so far recorded from Europe and the Canary I...

To date, 18 species of the algal genus Lobophora (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) have been reported for Greater Caribbean Sea. Nevertheless, only 2 recorded marine flora Cuba, variegata and canariensis (as Aglaozonia ). update knowledge about this in an exhaustive morphological study was performed using macroalgae collected from Western Cuba: Ecological Reserve Los Pretiles (Pinar del Río Province;...

Published records, original data from recent field work on all of the islands of the Azores (NE Atlantic), and a revision of the entire mollusc collection deposited in the Department of Biology of the University of the Azores (DBUA) were used to compile a checklist of the shallow-water Polyplacophora of the Azores. Lepidochitona cf. canariensis and Tonicella rubra are reported for the first tim...
