We investigated twenty-six strains of Xanthidium antilopaeum Kütz. and seven strains of X. cristatum Ralfs isolated from various European localities or obtained from public culture collections. A combination of molecular, geometric morphometric, and morphological data were used to reveal the patterns of the phylogenetic and morphological differentiation of these taxonomically very compli-cated ...

The global homogenization of the Earth’s biota is expected to increase due to the increase in movement of people and goods between regions, and many introduced species are having a negative economic impact. The increase of introduced species can be thought of as a major global change, because ecosystems throughout the world are now impacted by exotics [1, 2]. Grasslands, which cover roughly 25%...

Salinity, which is more common in semi-arid and arid areas, increasing every day with climate change, poor quality irrigation water, soil structure. High salt concentration restricts plant production causes productivity loss agriculture. To sustain agriculture saline soils, the determination of species resistant to salinity comes into prominence areas problems. For this reason, research was per...
