Mutualism and Antagonism in a Post‐Extinction Hawaiian Bird–Lobelioid Pollination System
Species loss can restructure plant–pollinator interactions, but the functional consequences of altered interactions remain unclear. Using camera observations and experimental manipulations in Hawaiian lobelioids, we show that nectarivorous birds differ in whether visits result in pollen contact or nectar robbing, with robbing altering nectar dynamics ...

Sympatry Increases Predation Risk for an Endangered Ungulate
We characterized predation risk for Peninsular bighorn sheep and southern mule deer across their ranges to understand how topography, habitat, forage, and prey habitat suitability affect where pumas are likely to predate both species. The presence of the second ungulate species increased predation risk for both species but had the greatest effect on ...

Papermaking potential of Acacia dealbata and Acacia melanoxylon
The pulping and papermaking potential of Acacia dealbata and Acacia melanoxylon were studied using Eucalyptus globulus as a reference. Pulp yield, alkali consumption and delignification in the kraft process, of both species, compare very well with the reference.

Antidesma montanum, an edible wild plant, shows notable nutraceutical and pharmacological potential. Methanol extract profiling (GC–MS) identified bioactive metabolites. In vitro, in vivo, and in silico studies demonstrated significant antidiabetic, anthelmintic, anxiolytic, antidepressant, and antidiarrheal activities, supported by strong molecular ...
