Local species abundance is related to range size, habitat characteristics, distribution type, body size, and life-history variables. In general, habitat generalists and polyphagous species are more abundant in broad geographical areas. Underlying this, local abundance may be explained from the interactions between life-history traits, chorological pattern, and the local habitat characteristics....

This study gathered evidence from principal component analysis (PCA) of morphometric data and molecular analyses of nucleotide sequence data for four nuclear genes (28S, TpI, CAD1, and Wg) and two mitochondrial genes (COI and 16S), using parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods. This evidence was combined with morphological and chorological data to re-evaluate the taxonomic status of...

The diversity of early spring vascular fl ora was studied in the Sub-Pannonic steppic grassland in the village of Bilje, north eastern Croatia. In all, 109 plant taxa within 35 families were found. The highest number of taxa belongs to the families Poaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Caryophyllaceae, Lamiaceae and Rosaceae. Specifi c habitat conditions, characterized by moderately wet and moderately...

Rock outcrops have promoted a high level of species diversity and provided stable microclimate for long time periods. The present study is devoted to plant natural Quaternary basaltic rocks. Chorological ecological investigations were carried out at 35 such outcrops, located within five physiogeographic units the Sudetes Mountains. focus was on 120 xerothermic taxa vascular plants: 62 strictly ...

Urban novel ecosystems were sampled across vacant sites in two Portuguese urban regions. The flora studied with a focus on species’ origin, life form, ecological, chorological and naturalisation types. A multivariate constrained ordination technique was used to identify relationships between plant composition environmental factors. vegetation of the regions shows differences, highlighting biome...

A floristic study was carried out in the Bingerville botanical garden, an urban green space south of Cote dIvoire.The objective this is to determine structure and ecological profile lianascent herbaceous flora, for better management garden. The round-the-field inventory method 29 plots on site.The identified 143 species, including 32 lianas 111 species. flora divided into 103 genera grouped 45 ...

Wetlands are recognized as hotspots of biodiversity and providers several ecosystem services, including water purification, sediment stabilization, flood, erosion, climate regulation. This article aims to investigate the floristic diversity wetlands Haho River watershed in southern Togo. Spatial data from Astrium service Google Earth were collected, phytosociological classified following Braun–...
