Identifying Mozambique's most critical areas for plant conservation: An evaluation of protected areas and Important Plant Areas.
Successful protected area networks must represent biodiversity across taxonomic groups. However, too often plant species are overlooked in conservation planning, and the resulting protected areas may, as a result, fail to encompass the most important sites for plant diversity. The Mozambique Tropical Important Plant Areas project sought to promote the... -

A new and possibly carnivorous species of Crepidorhopalon (Linderniaceae) from Mozambique.
The new species Crepidorhopalon droseroides from Mozambique is described and illustrated. It represents the third strict Mozambique endemic in Linderniaceae, and it differs from all known species of Crepidorhopalon in the long sticky glandular hairs. The hypothesis that the species may be carnivorous is discussed. The Conservation Status is preliminarily...Fischer, Eberhard ; Wursten, Bart ; Darbyshire, Iain

Rediscovery of the lost skink Proscelotes aenea and implications for conservation.
Biodiversity loss is recognized as a grand challenge of the twenty-first century but ascertaining when a species is “lost” can be incredibly difficult—since the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. This may be a relatively easy task for large and conspicuous animals, but extremely difficult for those living...Puruleia, Ali ; Nanvonamuquitxo, Cristóvão ; Ernesto, Milagre ; Jamal, Abdurabe ; Amade, Iassine …

Diversity patterns and conservation of the Vigna spp. in Mozambique: A comprehensive study.
Mozambique supports a high diversity of native legume species, including many Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs). Among them, the still understudied genus is a particularly notable and promising donor of favorable traits for crop improvement. This study aims to provide an updated overview of CWRs diversity in Mozambique, defining a conservation... -
