Relationship between the distribution of vegetation and the environment in the coastal embryo dunes of Jalisco, México by Héctor Gerardo Frías-Ureña, José Ariel Ruiz-Corral, Miguel Ángel Macías-Rodríguez, Noé Durán, Diego Gonzalez, Fabio De Albuquerque, José Pablo Torres Morán

“…The cluster analysis of dune sites according to environmental variables and the cluster analysis by presence/absence of plant species produces the formation of five groups of sites with significant environmental differences and five groups of sites with significant floristic differences. A significant connection (r = 0.471, p = 0.01) between the two clustering schemes also evidences the meaningful relationship between the presence of plant species and the environmental characteristics of the embryo dunes of Jalisco, Mexico. …”

A New Proposal for the Periodization of the History of Botany in Poland by Piotr Köhler

“…This periodization proposal divides the history of botany in Poland into six phases: 1 – from around the mid-14th century to the last quarter of the 16th century (medicinal botany), 2 – until the last quarter of the 18th century (the oldest publications on the flora), 3 – until around the middle of the 19th century (In that period a significant part of the botanical output was the floristic subject matter.), 4 – until the end of the 19th century (the beginning of modern botanical research), 5 – covered the first two quarters of the 20th century (This phase was characterized by extremely increased activity in all fields of botany.) …”

Abundance, feeding and behavioural ecology of Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus morio) in the fragmented forests of the Kinabatangan floodplain by Felicity Anne Louise Oram

“…A novel measure of habituation was established based on feeding-to-resting ratios to build a dataset representative of all age-sex classes, including both more resident animals and transient visitors to the study site. Floristically, the Kinabatangan now has higher baseline fruit abundance with lower synchronous peaks and less extreme seasonality, in sharp contrast to intact primary forest at Danum Valley. …”
