Effects of urbanization on avian diversity and human-nature interactions in tropical environments by Awoyemi, A.G.

“…This study revealed that the Modified Chlorophyll Absorption Ratio Index (MCARI) is the most effective indicator of taxonomic and phylogenetic bird diversity in the Afrotropics. In contrast, the Normalized Difference Water Index 2 (NDWI2) and Soil Adjusted Total Vegetation Index (SATVI) were found to be the best predictors of functional diversity and phylogenetic divergence, respectively. …”

The native shrub, Piliostigma reticulatum, as an ecological “resource island” for mango trees in the Sahel by Hernández, R.R., Debenport, S.J., Leewis, M.C.C., Ndoye, F., Soumare, A., Thuita, Moses N., Gueye, M., Miambi, E., Chapuis-Lardy, L., Diedhiou, I., Dick, R.P.

“…The results showed that mango-shrub interplanting significantly lowered pH, and increased arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization of mango roots, enzyme activities, and microbial biomass compared to mango alone. Phylogenetic analyses by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) showed that community structures of fungi, bacteria, and bacterial genes responsible for denitrification (nirK) of the soil from the rooting zone of the mango-shrub intercropping system were distinct from all other soil outside the influence of P. reticulatum. …”

Unlocking the Hidden Genetic Diversity of Varicosaviruses, the Neglected Plant Rhabdoviruses by Bejerman, Nicolas Esteban, Dietzgen, Ralf Georg, Debat, Humberto Julio

“…The highlights of the obtained sequences include eight varicosaviruses with unsegmented genomes, which are linked to a phylogenetic clade associated with gymnosperms. These findings have resulted in the most complete phylogeny of varicosaviruses to date and shed new light on the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary landscape of this group of plant rhabdoviruses. …”

The evolutionary history of Senna ser. Aphyllae (Leguminosae–Caesalpinioideae), an endemic clade of southern South America by Robbiati, Federico Omar, Anton, Ana Maria Ramona, Marazzi, Brigitte, Vásquez-Cruz, Marilyn, Fortunato, Renee Hersilia

“…In this study, we investigated the evolutionary history of Aphyllae in a molecular phylogenetic framework. We reconstructed phylogenetic relationships among Aphyllae species based on DNA sequence data of four plastid (rpS16, rpL16, matK, trnL-F) and one nuclear (ITS) region from 23 accessions, analyzed with parsimony, Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods. …”

Characterization of distinct strains of an aphid-transmitted ilarvirus (Fam. Bromoviridae) infecting different hosts from South America by Silvestre, R., Fuentes, S., Risco, R., Berrocal, A., Adams, I., Fox, A., Cuéllar, Wilmer Jose, Kreuze, Jan F.

“…Yacon isolates could be distinguished from potato isolates by their inability to infect Physalis floridana, and potato isolates from Ecuador and Peru could be distinguished by their symptomatology in this host as well as phylogenetically. The non-recombinant yacon isolates were closely related to a recently described isolate from Solanum muricatum (pepino dulce), and all isolates were related to Fragaria chiloensis latent virus (FCiLV) reported in strawberry from Chile, and probably should be considered the same species. …”
