Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant worldwide and they play a crucial role in global functioning biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one 36 world biodiversity hotspots, it estimated that forests covered 82% landscape before first human impacts, thousands years ago. However, spatial distribution still imperfectly known, focus on tree constitutes key issue for understanding forest develop conservation strategies. We provide comprehensive checklist all native taxa (species...
Abstract The Campanula pyramidalis complex is a group of closely related taxa with distribution across the Balkans, from Gulf Trieste in north to Peloponnese Peninsula south, small disjunct parts range south Apennines. Although 21 were described within this complex, only three, C. pyramidalis, versicolor , and secundiflora have been generally accepted recent synoptical taxonomic treatments. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses based on sequences three non‐coding chloroplast regions (...
Abstract The European Mediterranean region is one of the world's major centres biodiversity. Research on plant species diversity in this has neglected area along eastern part Adriatic basin comparison to other areas. main aim study was focus area, by supplying data which at present lacking order discuss species-area relationship (SAR), floristic richness and endemism islands coast. Floristic for 106 Croatian collected different authors were integrated, systematised presented a form usable...
Abstract Motivation The intrinsic characteristics of islands make them a unique study system for the investigation ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Mediterranean Basin, an island‐rich biodiversity hotspot, still lacks comprehensive spatial database these geographic features. This presents first all larger than 0.01 km 2 , aiding investigations interdisciplinary research. Main types variable contained MEDIS offers detailed information on 39 geographic, climatic, land‐use variables,...
Abstract Aim The Mediterranean Basin is a major hotspot of plant biodiversity, including forest trees. Over the past centuries, forests have been fragmented and over‐exploited, to which threats climate change are now added. Our aim better understand patterns processes tree biodiversity in provide indicators complementing traditional approaches conservation based on species counts occurrences, using georeferenced phylogenetic diversity endemism analyses spatial ecological context. Location...
Abstract A rapid reversed‐phase (RP) high‐performance liquid chromatography method was developed and applied for simultaneous separation, determination of flavonoids phenolic acids in eight Plantago L. taxa ( P. altissima L., argentea Chaix , coronopus holosteum Scop . ssp. depauperata Pilger holosteum, scopulorum (Degen) Horvatić lagopus maritima L.) growing Croatia. Chromatographic separation carried out on Zorbax Eclipse XDB‐C18 using gradient elution with a H 2 O (pH 2.5, adjusted CF 3...
Trees play a key role in the structure and function of many ecosystems worldwide. In Mediterranean Basin, forests cover approximately 22% total land area hosting large number endemics (46 species). Despite its particularities vulnerability, biodiversity trees is not well known at taxonomic, spatial, functional, genetic levels required for conservation applications. The WOODIV database fills this gap by providing reliable occurrences, four functional traits (plant height, seed mass, wood...
Although intraspecies researches within the black pine (<em>Pinus nigra </em>Arnold) have a long tradition, taxonomy, classification and chorology are still unclear. Among numerous reasons that caused this situation most important are: absence of study would completely cover whole range species, impossibility connection results existing detailed studies certain areas, high variability traits which been used so far. Since characteristics molecular systematic techniques could make...
In this paper we have analysed invasive flora of Medvednica Nature Park, Croatia with respect to their origins, life forms, systematic positions, types seed dispersal, Ellenberg indicator values and spatial distributions using MTB 1/64 grid units for analyses. A total 27 plant species, belonging 14 families, were recorded <em>Asteraceae</em> being the most frequently occurring family. Therophytes common form, as is generally true Croatian plants; however, hemicryptophytes...
Abstract Pollination success of highly specialised flowers is susceptible to fluctuations the pollinator fauna. Mediterranean Aristolochia rotunda has deceptive trap exhibiting a pollination system. The sole pollinators are kleptoparasitic flies in search food. This study investigates these on spatio‐temporal scale and impact weather conditions their availability. Two potential strategies plants cope with limitation, i.e . autonomous selfing an increased floral life span, were tested. A...
Abstract The relationships among western Balkan and some amphi-Adriatic endemic campanulas were studied using RFLP analysis of the 1.8-kb trnT – trnF chloroplast DNA region. results compared to those a comparative floral morphometry study performed earlier on similar sample. Maximum parsimony distance methods produced very morphometry, both which point clear separation taxa into three main clades. first isophyllous, or Garganicae series, clade comprised Campanula poscharskyana, C....
The relationships within the <em>Alpine-Dinaric</em> and cultivated populations of genus <em>Iris</em>, <em>Pallidae</em> series, have been analysed. Seven morphological characteristics (stem length, length largest leaf, greatest width smallest number leaves flowers) seven leaf anatomical (length stomata, epidermal cells, stomata cells per mm'- styloids) used for this purpose. Relationships between were analysed by methods multivariate statistics (Cluster,...
