AbstractBackgroundThe reported massive decline of arthropods and particularly of pollinators such as wild bees, in terms of abundance and richness, is a threat for crop production and wild plant biodiversity conservation. This decline is mainly explained by a combination of drivers at local- and lan…

Abstract Background African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious pathogen affecting domestic and wild pigs, with soft ticks (Ornithodoros spp.) acting as significant vectors. Understanding the distribution of Ornithodoros ticks in relation to environmental variables is crucial fo…

Insect declines have been reported globally but whilst island ecosystems are potentially facing exacerbated challenges, no long-term studies (LTER) have confirmed this trend. This study utilises the first available LTER data on island invertebrates, targeting epigeal and canopy arthropods from the A…

Early detection and rapid response are essential to deal effectively with new introductions of invasive alien species (IAS). Citizen science platforms for opportunistic recording of species are increasingly popular, and there is potential to harvest their data for early detection of IAS, but this ha…

Previous works indicate that the fern genus Abrodictyum (Hymenophyllaceae) comprises between 17 and 26 species in Asia, Australasia and Oceania. To clarify the diversity of the genus within this broad region, a taxonomic review was carried out via an in-depth examina- tion of literature data, online…

Large masses of pelagic Sargassum occur in the Atlantic Ocean between the latitudes 5°S and 38°N. Since 2011, inundations have happened in the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, and West Africa, affecting biological communities and economies. A series of severe weather events in the Azores led to a Sarg…

In small‐scale societies, people learn to identify plant species during childhood. Plant recognition is an important baseline knowledge, immediately useful to avoid intoxication risk due to wrong identification. Plant recognition is the basis of other ethnobotanical knowledge essential for safeguard…

The ability of climatic niche models to predict species extinction risks can be hampered if niches are incompletely quantified. This can occur when niches are estimated considering only currently available climatic conditions, disregarding the fact that climate change can open up portions of the fun…

Madagascar is a regional diversity centre of the plant genus Erica L. (heathers; anjavidy in Malagasy), with 35 species currently recognised. There is no modern taxonomic treatment of the group, and many collections remain unidentified. We review the taxonomic history of Malagasy Erica, built largel…
