Climate-change-driven shifts in C₃ and C₄ grass distributions and leaf traits could lead to changes in community-level flammability. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Climate change poses challenges to grasslands, including those of the North American Great Plains Region, where shifts in species distributions and fire dynamics are expected. Our present analysis focuses on remaining grasslands within this largely developed and agricultural region. The differential responses of C4 and C3 grass species

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...

Mock Plant Communities and a Large Mammal Case Study Reveal ITS2 Primer Bias Against Graminoids. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
DNA fecal metabarcoding has greatly advanced herbivore diet analysis, but primer selection plays an important role in mitigating PCR amplification bias, affecting ecological inferences. In this study, using plant mock communities and a large mammalian herbivore case study, we evaluated two primer pairs targeting the ITS2 region.

Elevated CO₂ and N Gradually Weaken the Influence of Diversity on Ecosystem Stability. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Biodiversity loss and anthropogenic global changes such as elevated CO2 and nitrogen eutrophication are increasingly co‐occurring around the world, yet their combined impact on ecosystem productivity and stability in the long‐term remains understudied.

Safety of grain and flour from perennial intermediate wheatgrass (<i>Thinopyrum intermedium</i>) as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on grain and flour from perennial intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) (Thinopyrum intermedium) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

Herbivore Population Differences Rival Geographic and Biophysical Variation in Structuring Ecosystem Function. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Local populations of the same species can drive strikingly different ecosystem outcomes. This study shows that intraspecific trait variation among consumers can rival climate and history in shaping plant communities and nutrient cycling across landscapes.
