Population dynamics and evolutionary history of an endemic Sambucus africana Standl. (Viburnaceae): Evidence from complete plastomes and ecological niche analysis Open
Evolution and demographic history of plant populations are primarily influenced by climatic and geological events. However, evolutionary population dynamics of endemic herbaceous plants in East Africa remains unexplored. In this study, we …

Checklist of Kilimanjaro grasses shows that both plot and herbarium methods are necessary to record diversity Open
Does traditional generalist herbarium collecting record grass diversity more effectively than plot-based recording common in ecology? We present a checklist of the Poaceae of Mount Kilimanjaro compiled from two datasets: records from 1646 …

Phylogenetic Diversity of Plant Communities in Relation to Elevation and Human Impact at Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania Open
Phylogenetic diversity (PD) of vascular plants in 30 natural communities along an elevation gradient (700 to 4600 m) at Mount Kilimanjaro compared with 30 human-influenced habitats was studied. Linear models were tested for phylogenetic di…

Diversity of Leptogium (Collemataceae, Ascomycota) in East African Montane Ecosystems Open
Tropical mountains and especially their forests are hot spots of biodiversity threatened by human population pressure and climate change. The diversity of lichens in tropical Africa is especially poorly known. Here we use the mtSSU and nuI…

Connecting plant evolutionary history and human well-being at Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania Open
Evolution is the source of all living organisms and hence the foundation for the ecosystem services that are directly supported by biodiversity. However, explicit connections between evolutionary history and human well-being are barely exp…
