Aphelandra almanegra (Acanthaceae), a new species from the dry forests of the Cauca River canyon in Antioquia department, Colombia.
Aphelandra almanegra, a new species from tropical dry forest in Antioquia department, Colombia, is described, illustrated and mapped. Notes are given on its geographical distribution, phenology, conservation status and taxonomic affinities. It is compared with its morphologically closest relative Aphelandra pulcherrima, which differs by its habit, indumentum and various inflorescence...Gallego, Pablo C. ; Wood, John R. I.

Woody plant encroachment drives population declines in 20% of common open ecosystem bird species.
Grassy ecosystems cover more than 40% of the world's terrestrial surface, supporting crucial ecosystem services and unique biodiversity. These ecosystems have experienced major losses from conversion to agriculture with the remaining fragments threatened by global change. Woody plant encroachment, the increase in woody cover threatening grassy ecosystems, is a major...White, Joseph D. M. ; Stevens, Nicola ; Fisher, Jolene T. ; Reynolds, Chevonne

Pesticidal Plant Treatments Combined with Improved Soil Fertility Can Reduce Damage Caused by Fusarium Wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. phaseoli) and Bean Fly (Ophiomyia phaseoli) in Common Bean Production (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).
Common bean production is constrained by a multitude of biotic constraints including bean flies and Fusarium wilt in tropical and subtropical farming systems globally. As these pests and diseases attack the crop beneath the soil, excessive applications of synthetic pesticides are frequently used for their control. The use of plant-based... -

Comparative metabolite profiling of three savannic species of Banisteriopsis (Malpighiaceae) via UPLC‐MS/MS and chemometric tools.
Banisteriopsis (Malpighiaceae) is an important genus of neotropical savannas with related biological and medicinal activities but under‐explored metabolomic profiles. We present a chemometric analysis for discriminating secondary metabolites of three species of Banisteriopsis (B. laevifolia, B. malifolia, and B. stellaris) leaves. Initially, each species was separately extracted with ethanol:water (4:1,... -

Soil Studies for Fungal Diversity to Enable the Conservation Translocation of Green-Winged Orchid.
Conservation Translocation (CT), which includes reintroduction, reinforcement and introduction, is gaining momentum, responding to serious population decline in many orchids. Orchid conservation underpinned by a greater emphasis on understanding biotic and abiotic factors of habitats is critical for successful recovery and restoration programmes. Anacamptis morio, commonly known as green-winged orchid...
