seed dispersal in hong kong, china: past, present and possible futures. | in the present article, published and unpublished information regarding seed dispersal in the degraded landscape of hong kong, china, is reviewed. information was available for 1681 native plant species, of which 1165 were assigned to probable seed dispersal modes. endozoochory accounted for one-third (34.4%) of all species evaluated, half (54.4%) of those from forests, and more than two-thirds (69.2%) of all trees and tall shrubs. wind dispersal (25.9%) and dispersal by an unknown agent (30.7%) ... | 2011 | 21645275 |
recent transmission of a novel alphacoronavirus, bat coronavirus hku10, from leschenault's rousettes to pomona leaf-nosed bats: first evidence of interspecies transmission of coronavirus between bats of different suborders. | although coronaviruses are known to infect various animals by adapting to new hosts, interspecies transmission events are still poorly understood. during a surveillance study from 2005 to 2010, a novel alphacoronavirus, batcov hku10, was detected in two very different bat species, ro-batcov hku10 in leschenault's rousettes (rousettus leschenaulti) (fruit bats in the suborder megachiroptera) in guangdong and hi-batcov hku10 in pomona leaf-nosed bats (hipposideros pomona) (insectivorous bats in th ... | 2012 | 22933277 |
