Biodiversity of medicinal plants in Vietnam: A case study at Nui Chua National Park, Ninh Thuan province
The method of quantitative research on medicinal plants is very necessary and important but it has not been paid attention to in Vietnam. A total of 14 sample plots was established, each sample plot of 500m2 (25m x 20m) and randomly distributed through tropical evergreen broad-leaved humid low mountain forest and tropical broad-leaved dry forest […]
Effectiveness of Catches from Various types of Gears for the estimation of Biodiversity in southwestern Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa
Samples have been taken from fishery landings on the fishers’ return to estimate fish and other aquatic animals diversity. Specimens were caught with various types of gears deployed in continental shelf waters of Côte d’Ivoire by the artisanal fishers residing at Sassandra (in the southwestern part of this country), some 272 kilometres away from Abidjan, […]

Review on use of recent molecular techniques to access biodiversity in plants
Molecular tools developed in the past few years provide easy, less laborious means for assigning known and unknown plant taxa. These techniques answer many new evolutionary and taxonomic questions, which were not previously possible with only phenotypic methods. Molecular techniques such as DNA barcoding, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), microsatellites […]
