iNaturalist defines itself as an “online social network of people sharing biodiversity information to help each other learn about nature” and it is likely one the largest citizen science web portals in world, every year millions observations across thousands species are gathered collectively compiled by engaged community nearly 3 million users (November 2023). The strengths potentialities that explain success platform reviewed include, among others, its usability low technical requirements,...
The Costa Brava, a Mediterranean coastal strip spanning ca. 250 km (in NE Spain), is hotspot of plant invasions. To address this issue, the LIFE medCLIFFS project was launched to improve management invasive species along sea cliffs in region. initial phase involved designing more than 100 transects distributed across coastline, each 1 length, which were be monitored by volunteers. During fieldwork for transect design, we identified total 126 alien species. This substantial number,...
Abstract Invasive alien species are currently considered one of the main threats to global biodiversity. One most rapidly expanding invasive plants in recent times is Kalanchoe × houghtonii (Crassulaceae), an artificial hybrid created 1930s United States by experimental crossings between K . daigremontiana and tubiflora , two endemic Madagascar. Thanks its large colonizing capacity (mainly derived from production asexual plantlets), soon escaped cultivation quickly spread many parts world....
The genus Kalanchoe, mostly indigenous from Madagascar and Tropical Africa, is widely traded for ornamental value. In this study, we provided an updated list of wild cultivated Kalanchoe taxa in Ecuador; analyzed the temporal-spatial pattern their records, categorized invasion status each taxon its environment preferences. records any belonging to were compiled extensive search using various information sources. Our results confirmed presence 16 country. Seven species a hybrid detected wild....
Abstract Challenges in the collection of vouchers, either because physical properties material (species difficult to collect or press, e.g., palms, cycads, toxic plants, and cacti) drying may have a negative effect on taxonomic characters (e.g., colour), recommend use photographs complement herbarium specimens. In series cases (enumerated present contribution), however, it be impossible and, thus, only option document presence plant given locality. We propose this paper some guidelines for...
En aquest treball aportem dades sobre la presència de 20 plantes vasculars al·lòctones trobades a província Barcelona durant el període 2014-2016. Els tàxons següents suposen novetat per flora d'Europa: Baccharis salicifolia, Enneapogon cenchroides, Lonicera fragrantissima, Porophyllum ruderale subsp. i Selenicereus grandiflorus; tres són espècies noves península Ibèrica: Cardiospermum grandiflorum, Phymosia umbellata Salvia hispanica; Muehlenbeckia sagittifolia és Espanya Physalis...
Cinc tàxons del gènere Kalanchoe (K. daigremontiana, K. tubiflora, fedtschenkoi, sexangularis i ×houghtonii) han estat citats de diverses localitats Catalunya. Tanmateix, recentment hem pogut comprovar que les citacions a Catalunya daigremontiana s'han revisar corresponen en realitat l'híbrid ×houghtonii, d'una capacitat invasora molt superior la espècies parentals. A partir revisió literatura actual noves aportades aquest treball, s'ha actualitzat distribució dels presents al territori...
Cities are often hotspots for biological invasions, showing much higher percentages of alien species than non-urbanized settings. The reasons multiple and mostly related to two main factors: their heterogeneous, highly disturbed habitats many gateways that allow introduction (e.g., airports, roads, train stations, or gardens). In addition being a sink cities can also be source the spread into surrounding landscapes, which adds further complexity this issue. Herein, we presenting results...
Aquest article inclou dades per a 67 tàxons, 25 dels quals són nous la flora de les Illes Balears: Agave fourcroydes, Amaranthus emarginatus, Asparagus aethiopicus, Bidens pilosa, Cardiospermum grandiflorum, C. halicacabum, Cotyledon orbiculata, Eschscholzia californica, Freesia leichtlinii subsp. alba, Gomphocarpus physocarpus, Gossypium hirsutum, Hedera hibernica, H. maroccana, Lathyrus odoratus, L. sativus, Lycianthes rantonnetii, Malephora uitenhagensis, Opuntia engelmannii lindheimeri,...

También presentamos nuevos datos sobre diez poco citadas en Cataluña. En las últimas décadas el cultivo ornamentales constituye...
Ornamental gardens are probably the most important source of invasive alien plants. However, role roadside shrines as a plant introductions remains unexplored. Herein, we reporting cultivated flora shrine (devoted to ‘Difunta Correa’) in south-eastern Spain, while making prior assessment risk spreading surroundings. In an area less than 50 m2, up 20 taxa were identified, with vast majority them being alien. Some observed can be very problematic (e.g., Kalanchoe × houghtonii) and even...
Abstract Citizen science is becoming very useful in surveying and monitoring biodiversity. Within the European Union LIFE medCLIFFS project, a network of volunteers has been established for detection long-term invasive plant species that threaten endemic flora Mediterranean cliffs north-eastern Spain. Through iNaturalist, record various data along series 1 km transects. Based on ca. 700 observations collected by 2023 (the first year project), simple visually-attractive methodology assessing...

Els nous estudis del complex Opuntia humifusa ens permeten revisar la identitat de les plantes anomenades O. (Raf.) Raf. a Catalunya. Totes estudiades d’aquest en l’àrea citada presenten els mateixos trets morfològics (principalment el gruix espines, nombre d’arèoles i forma llavors) que mesacantha subsp. mesacantha.

Muchas especies del género Kalanchoe se cultivan ampliamente por su valor ornamental, hecho que junto a la alta capacidad de muchas ellas naturalizarse ha causado algunas crezcan en zonas geográficas distantes sus áreas distribución natural. En los últimos 65 años el número reportadas para Cuba ascendido dos cinco, según publicaciones recientes. La falta un trabajo actualizado recoja las naturalizadas este y aporte unas claves correcta identificación conducido existencia discrepancias cuanto...
