Decay stages of Jurassic wood debris from Scotland: evidence for the coevolution of fungal rot, arthropods and the nurse log strategy. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary A key feature of extant conifer forests is the high percentage of seeds that germinate and establish on dead wood; in some forests, this can exceed 90%. This deadwood can act as an ideal nursery for young tree species, leading to this type of seedbed being termed ‘nurse logs’.

Detection and Inhibition of IgE for cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants evident in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of allergen-specific IgE in the sera of dogs and cats. [PDF]

Vet Dermatol, 2020
Background It has been demonstrated recently that immunoglobulin (Ig)E specific for cross‐reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD) is present in the serum of allergen‐sensitized dogs and cats, and that these CCD‐specific antibodies might confound serological testing. Hypothesis/Objective The objective was to document the prevalence of CCD detectable in

Toumeyella parvicornis versus endotherapic abamectin: three techniques, 1 year after

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3676-3680, October 2023., 2023
Comparing three different abamectin endotherapic techniques. Results showed similar long‐term effects in reducing adult females of Toumeyella parvicornis affecting Pinus pinea. Only one technique showed differences with the untreated control and abamectin traces inside the plants 14 months after the insecticide injection. Abstract Background Toumeyella

Cytokine transcriptome profiling in acute experimental canine atopic dermatitis skin lesions after IL‐31 inhibition with lokivetmab

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 327-338, August 2023., 2023
Background – The caninised monoclonal antibody lokivetmab (LKV), directed at interleukin (IL)‐31, is very effective at controlling pruritus in most dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD). However, evidence exists that IL‐31 is not required for the induction of acute allergic skin inflammation, which might explain why this treatment is less efficacious in ...

On the relative importance of resource availability and habitat connectivity as drivers of soil biodiversity in Mediterranean ecosystems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 7, Page 1455-1467, July 2023., 2023
The authors provide a comprehensive assessment of the response of key members of the soil food web to habitat fragmentation and tree die‐off (landscape level plant–soil interactions), illustrating the major role of soil carbon, habitat connectivity, and tree die‐off in driving soil biodiversity and trophic structure.

Mussel parasite richness and risk of extinction

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Parasite conservation is important for the maintenance of ecosystem diversity and function. Conserving parasites relies first on understanding parasite biodiversity and second on estimating the extinction risk to that biodiversity. Although steps have been taken independently in both these areas, previous studies have overwhelmingly focused on
