“…In recent study, three active compounds of Gg have the potential to be strong inhibitors for Mpro of SARS-CoV2 but glycyrrhizic acid has a high binding affinity and a good properties [31]. Juniperus extract has a strong antioxidant activity and gastrointestinal effect [32,33]. Juniperus phoenica L. leaves extract has a good protective role against Gammairradiation induced Oxidative stress [34,35].…”

The main focus of this study was the antimicrobial effect of 2 medicinal plants that belong to the Algerian Mediterranean flora, Glycyrrhiza glabra and Juniperus phoenicea, The phenolic extracts of Glycyrrhiza glabra and Juniperus phoenicea gave respective yields of 56.15% and 47.40% with methanol/water 70% (v/v). A yield of 52.45% and 42.30% was obtained with ethanol/water 70 % (v/v). Total phenolic results showed that in both plants, the hydroethanolic extract was richer than hydroethanolic extract represented by 122.88±6.64 mg Galic Acid equivalent (GAE)/g dm and 120.54±3.35 mg GAE/g ms. The total flavonoids were about 15.48±4.97 and 14.01 ±8.57 mg EQ/g for J. phoenicea and G. glabra, respectively. Antimicrobial activity results showed that hydromethanolic extract of J. phoenicea, G. glabra, and their combination was more active against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 33862, whereas they were completely inactive against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 2785, E. coli ATCC 25922, and C. albicans ATCC 10231. MBC and MIC were 80 and 10 mg/ml for J. phoenicea hydromethanolic extract, 20 and 80 mg/ml for G. glabra hydroethanolic extract, and 2.5 and 20 mg/ml for combined extract, respectively.

“…The models in some similar studies used the species occurrence data with data on the climatic variables and some species characteristics to find the current geographic distribution area and future areas under various climatic scenarios [24,25]. The maximum entropy model is one of the models used to predict current and future potential areas of geographic distribution [26], especially for invasion biology [27], protection of biodiversity [28] and the transmission risks of parasitic diseases [29].…”

Predicting the Potential Global Distribution of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) under Near Current and Future Climatic Conditions, Using the Maximum Entropy Model

Amblyomma americanum (the lone star tick) is a pathogen vector, mainly from eastern North America, that bites humans. With global integration and climate change, some ticks that are currently confined to a certain place may begin to spread out; some reports have shown that they are undergoing rapid range expansion. The difference in the potential geographic distribution of A. americanum under current and future climatic conditions is dependent on environment variables such as temperature and precipitation, which can affect their survival. In this study, we used a maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model to predict the potential geographic distribution of A. americanum. The MaxEnt model was calibrated at the native range of A. americanum using occurrence data and the current climatic conditions. Seven WorldClim climatic variables were selected by the jackknife method and tested in MaxEnt using different combinations of model feature class functions and regularization multiplier values. The best model was chosen based on the omission rate and the lowest Akaike information criterion. The resulting model was then projected onto the global scale using the current and future climate conditions modeled under four greenhouse gas emission scenarios.

“…High requirements for access to light and a pioneering nature make it easier for junipers to colonize new areas. Additionally, there are arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, typical for dry and semi-dry areas (Sanguin et al 2016), which may help them survive (Salvà-Cotarineu et al 2021). For the Juniperus from the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkans, based on the pollen stratigraphy, spreading has been shown during the dry periods of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene and withdrawal in wetter periods, mainly due to competition with broadleaf trees (Carrión et al 2001a(Carrión et al , b, 2003(Carrión et al , 2004(Carrión et al , 2010Tzedakis 2004).…”

“…The existence of three main Juniperus differentiation centers is presumed: the Mediterranean region, the desert of Mexico with the southwestern part of USA and central Asia (western China), while geographic distribution is mainly limited by climate, biotic interactions and dispersal ability (Mao et al 2010;Adams 2014;Salvà-Cotarineu et al 2021). It is assumed that the processes of hybridization and speciation still take place within the taxon, which increase its diversity Mao et al 2010Mao et al , 2019Adams 2014).…”

“…They conducted research on the content of procyanidins and prodelfinidines in leaves and showed its origin from the Iberian Peninsula. Contemporary geographical ranges of these three species, due to the choice of a different ecological niche, evolved as a result of isolation and adapting to local conditions (Salvà-Cotarineu et al 2021).

The Sabina section is one of the three groups in the Juniperus genus and the most diverse. The variability of Mediterranean junipers from the Sabina section is related to their Tertiary and Pleistocene migrations and long-term isolations. Their contemporary taxonomic and geographic diversity was influenced by important events such as the migration of continents, the disappearance of Tethys, orogenic movements or the Messinian salinity crisis. The results of morphological measurements of seed cones, seeds and branchlets with leaves of 19 populations of Juniperus phoenicea complex, J. excelsa s.s., J. thurifera subsp. thurifera and subs. africana, J. foetidissima and J. sabina var. sabina and var. balkanensis were statistically compiled using univariate statistics and multivariate analysis. The most important characters differentiating the populations within the taxa were the thickness of the branchlet and the cone diameter, while between the taxa the ratio of cone diameter to the width of the seeds and the number of seeds per cone were used for speciation. J. phoenicea complex is distinguished from the other studied taxa by the greatest number of characters. J. foetidissima, J. sabina var. sabina and J. canariensis are characterized by the highest variability of morphological characters, while J. excelsa and J. sabina var. balkanensis – the lowest. The studies confirmed the ancient nature of the J. phoenicea complex in relation to other taxa from the Sabina section, as a result of an earlier detachment from the ancestor, and no loss of variability due to the effects of colonization and isolation in J. canariensis. In addition, the similarity of J. sabina and J. thurifera was demonstrated, which would confirm the descent from a common ancestor and similar migration routes from the center of Europe towards the Iberian Peninsula, as well as further differentiation of J. thurifera into subspecies caused by isolation due to the opening of the Strait of Gibraltar. The distinctiveness of J. foetidissima from all the other analyzed taxa was also confirmed, and some morphological similarity was shown, proving the original character of J. excelsa s.s. and its similarity to the J. phoenicea complex in this respect.
