Tropical ecology and environment

First record on fungi of Boletaceae family in the Central Highlands of Vietnam

First record of Eulimids on brittle stars from Spratly islands of Vietnam

The Eulimidae is a diverse group of symbiotic gastropods, most of which appear in tropical waters, but have not been fully studied. Worldwide, this family includes about 1,500 species, mostly known in symbiotic associations with all living classes of echinoderms.

Using fish blood as a bio-indicator to examine their response to environmental conditions

The speed of urbanization and industrialization in areas near the sea is always proportional to the pressure on the environment. Untreated waste from factories in industrial zones becomes the main source of pollution to natural water, including aquaculture water systems. Heavy metal or toxic chemical pollution is the major threat to aquatic life, including fish

Genetic structure in natural populations of Dacrydium elatum in the Central Highlands of Vietnam inferred by microsatellite molecular marker (SSR)

Assessment of genetic diversity and structure among populations and within species is important for genetic conservation and plant breeding programs. Genetic diversity is also important for a species' adaptability for long-term survival  and adaptation to changing environmental conditions.

Broad-billed birds (Eurylaimidae) of Vietnam

The broad-billed bird family (Eurylaimidae) includes species in the Passeriformes order distributed mainly in evergreen and semi-evergreen forest habitats in tropical Southeast Asia and some species in Africa.

Phylogenetics of native conifer species in Vietnam based on two chloroplast gene regions rbcL and matK.

Assessment of seasonal dynamics in tropical rain forest at Ngoc Linh natural reserve, kontum province, based on uav data

Seasonal dynamics in tropical forests are closely related to the variation in forest canopy gaps. The forest canopy gaps allow sunlight to penetrate easily, creating a living space and energizing the regenerating vegetation under the canopy. The forest canopy gap plays an important role in the forest ecology, with impacts on the nutrient cycle of the forest vegetation cover, a factor in promoting the forest succession process.

Characteristics of the transcription genome and the development of microsatellites (SSR) molecular markers used in analyzing genetic diversity in populations and species of Ginseng Ngoc Linh (Panax vietnamensis Ha et Grushv) in Vietnam

Sam Ngoc Linh Panax vietnamensis Ha et Grushv. is an important herb, endemic and endangered in Vietnam.
