Fire‐survival strategies of first‐year acacia seedlings
Acacia seedlings (11 of 12 species) acquire some ability to survive grass fires in their first year, either by resisting topkill with thickened stems and/or by regrowing from below‐ground stems. The results suggest that small differences in these fire‐survival strategies at this crucial life stage translate to large differences in savanna physiognomy ...

Divergent evolution of traits and plasticity across climate gradients in a widespread tree species
Our study shows that phenotypic plasticity plays an important role in differentiation across the tropical‐savanna to desert gradient in Acacia tortilis, with similar phenotypic responses observed between climatically comparable populations at opposing range edges.

Freshwater systems of the semi‐arid Narrabri region, Australia, are hotspots of novel fungal and eukaryote diversity, dominated by zoosporic fungi and unclassified lineages. ITS‑based DNA and water chemistry analyses across various water bodies revealed strong seasonal patterns, a scarcity of aquatic hyphomycetes that may reflect environmental ...

AutoPollS: A tool for automated monitoring of pollinators using deep learning
Abstract Deep learning and computer vision hold enormous potential for automated monitoring of biodiversity, including pollinators and other insects. Efficient, scalable monitoring of insect pollinators is crucial given pollinators' role in supporting biodiversity and agricultural productivity amidst declining pollinator populations.

ABSTRACT Presently, there are three main hypotheses to explain why the leaves of many Australian mistletoes resemble their hosts. The eco‐physiological convergence hypothesis suggests that mistletoes must manage their physiology, especially their water relations, to match those of the host, to avoid killing themselves or the host branch they have ...
