Endophytic diversity in citrus varieties in different provinces The native bacterial endophytic communities of healthy, symptomatic, and asymptomatic citrus leaves in nine citrus growing regions was assessed in 2016–2018, and Fig. 2 show the endophytic microbial diversity of different citrus varieties from different citrus growing regions in China. The endophyte communities varied between specific varieties from […] More

Measurements were made to the nearest 0.1 mm using digital calipers and a Leica M80 dissection microscope. In lists of material examined, the catalog number is followed by the number of specimens, size range in mm SL, locality, collector(s), and date.

Study sites We studied two oil palm plantations in the Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia, located 19 km apart and with similar climatic conditions. Average annual temperature in the area was 26.7 ± 0.2 °C, and annual precipitation was 2235 ± 385 mm (1991–2011 mean ± SD63), and a dry season with less than 120 mm monthly precipitation usually occurred between June and September. The first […] More

Study location and species The blacktip reef shark is a medium-sized shark, up to 1.5 m total length, and is widely distributed on Indo-West Pacific coral reefs24. The species mostly inhabits shallow reefs and sand-flats of atolls and high islands25,26,27,28 and occasionally non-reef environments29. Blacktip reef sharks are the subject of wildlife tourism, for example in […] More
