Large clades of angiosperms are often characterized by diverse interactions with pollinators, but how these pollination systems structured phylogenetically and biogeographically is still uncertain for most families. Apocynaceae a clade >5300 species worldwide distribution. A database representing >10 % in the family was used to explore diversity pollinators evolutionary shifts across major regions. The compiled from published unpublished reports. Plants were categorized into broad then...
Abstract Bats are crucial for proper functioning of an ecosystem. They provide various important services to ecosystem and environment. While, bats well-known carrier pathogenic viruses, their possible role as a potential bacteria is under-explored. Here, using culture-based approach, employing multiple bacteriological media, over thousand were cultivated identified from Rousettus leschenaultii (a frugivorous bat species), the majority which family Enterobacteriaceae putative pathogens....
Abstract The Indian subcontinent has experienced a major shift in climatic regime from wet tropical to increased seasonal rainfall, since the late Miocene. This been attributed intensification of monsoons, which led opening up dry habitats humid forests and formation deciduous forests. We explored role this origin diversification dry‐adapted plant genera Ceropegia Brachystelma (Ceropegiae, Asclepiadoideae, Apocynaceae). sampled across India used five markers (two nuclear three plastid...
The Kaas lake is one of the unique sedimentary basins in Northern region Western Ghats escarpment India and preserves paleoclimate signals Holocene its cover sequence over lateritic basement. signatures preserved lacustrine deposits, such as pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, diatoms, geochemistry sediments, were decoded used to reconstruct environmental changes Plateau Ghats. main stages lake's evolution indicate following: (1) low nutrient level strongly changeable water levels early...
The Carpenter Bee Xylocopa aestuans is a known pollen and nectar feeder. However, at Anshi National Park of Karnataka (India), the bee happens to be switching over facultative carnivorous habit as they are found feed on Red Tree Ants Oecophylla smaragdina. Such kind feeding must have existed which yet reported.
Erect species of Ceropegia section Buprestis are revised based on morphology, palynology and molecular study, a key to all presented. Two new species, C. karulensis maharashtrensis described. The status the systematically ambiguous lawii is addressed. In analysis erect using ISSR markers, taxa belonging were found be distinct from Indopegia used as outgroup. phylogenetic 20 Indian representing different sections their congeners nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) non-coding...
The present study reports 126 flowering plants used as food by Hanuman/Common Langur (Semnopithecus entellus Dufresne) from Western Ghats of Maharashtra.Out species 94 are reported for the langurs first time.
Eriocaulon peninsulare, a new species allied to E.sexangulare from Anshi National Park, Karnataka is described and illustrated.
Based on detailed studies of the protologues, types, herbarium and comparison with live specimens, Caulokaempferia dinabandhuensis Biseshwori & Bipin, Globba teesta S. Nirola A.P. Das Zingiber sianginensis Tatum A.K. are reduced under Monolophus suksathanii Dey, Langhu Bhaumik, G. andersonii C.B. Clarke ex Baker Z. officinale Roscoe, respectively. In addition, is rediscovered after a gap 136 years. A description color photographs provided for ease understanding.
