A snapshot of extinction in action: The decline and imminent demise of the endemic Eligmocarpus Capuron (Caesalpinioideae, Leguminosae) serves as an example of the fragility of Madagascan ecosystems

2013-11-01

Abstract excerpt

The southeastern Madagascan endemic and monotypic genus Eligmocarpus is highly threatened due to a combination of factors. Firstly, general human-induced habitat destruction and fragmentation has degraded the environment in which it occurs, leading to an increased threat of extinction for itself and other co-occurring species. Secondly, and more specifically to Eligmocarpus, the desirable properties of its timber,...
