Embryo excision in Compositae, with implications for combating biodiversity loss
Abstract Premise Embryo excision is an effective, under‐described means of promoting germination in the sunflower family and may help to ensure the survival of endangered taxa or lineages with limited seed availability. Methods and Results We describe and illustrate a detailed method of embryo excision used successfully to stimulate germination in a ...

Condición física de los Piqueros de Nazca (Sula granti) durante el período de anidación [PDF]
Seabirds undergo a notable change in their physical condition (i.e., fluctuations in their weight) as a consequence of the high energetic demand for reproduction both in hatching but particularly during brood rearing.

In this study, we use the urodele Salamandra salamandra as a study model to apply an analytical approach for extracting and quantifying colour proportions and patterns variation, using the recently developed R packages patternize and recolorize, to accurately describe and compare colour distribution at both taxonomic and habitat levels.

The specialised buzz pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions
We found that plants that exhibit traits consistent with the buzz‐pollination syndrome are underrepresented as invasive species across the globe. Our result suggests that the specialist buzz‐pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions. Our review also highlighted six alternative insect behaviours that can enable invasive plants with

Despite strong specialization to gypsum soils, past divergent selection related to climatic gradients has driven adaptive population differentiation in Lepidium subulatum. All populations showed high but similar plasticity to drought, indicating that selection did not act against plasticity in harsh environmental conditions.

Opportunities and challenges for strawberry cultivation in urban food production systems
Cultivation of strawberry plants in urban production systems, whether in green open‐air spaces or under some form of protected horticulture such as vertical farming, has demonstrated to be challenging to new farmers and businesses. Commercial strawberry producers have an advanced understanding of strawberry plant physiology, enabling them to grow the ...

El significado del éxito reproductivo en poblaciones humanas
Para la sociobióloga, el éxito reproductivo a sido desde el principio, la medida universal del valor adaptivo. La noción es muy discutible, considerando que se trata de una estimación individual, inapropiada a evaluar el valor selectivo de un (supuesto ...
