The complete chloroplast genome of (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Arundinarieae) in Taiwan.

is an endemic species in Taiwan, and grows at an altitude of 600-1200 m. In this study, we fully characterized the complete chloroplast genome of . The complete chloroplast sequence was 139,660 bp, including large single-copy (LSC), small single-copy (SSC), and a pair of invert repeats (IR) region of 83,271, 12,803, and 21,793 bp.

Effects of climate change on a mutualistic coastal species: Recovery from typhoon damages and risks of population erosion.

Presently, climate change has increased the frequency of extreme meteorological events such as tropical cyclones. In the western Pacific basin, these cyclones are called typhoons, and in this area, around Taiwan Island, their frequency has almost doubled since 2000. When approaching landmasses, typhoons have devastating effects on coastal vegetation.
