Rapid riparian ecosystem decline in Rocky Mountain National Park

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Understanding the drivers of ecosystem collapse is critical for resource management, particularly for protected areas mandated to preserve biodiversity. In Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, tall willows (Salix spp.) dominated riparian vegetation, and a beaver–willow state was the natural ecosystem type in the Colorado River headwaters ...

Assessing Closed Hydroponic Subsystems for Batavia Lettuce Growth Under Different Planting Densities

World Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 427-438, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Hydroponic systems have the potential to be sustainable and alternative methods for food production that confer advantages of high production and better control of growth. However, only a few studies have focused on leafy vegetable growth in different subsystems and environmental variables.

Reduction in mutualistic ant aggressive behavior upon sugar supplementation

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 6, November 2024.
We measured the effects of sugar supplementation on ant protective behavior in the ant‐plant mutualism between Triplaris americana and Pseudomyrmex dendroicus. We tested four hypotheses: three which predict ants will attack intruding herbivores more often (“deficit”, “fuel for foraging”, “predictable rewards”) when an alternative sugar source is ...

Plant‐based meat analogues marketed in Catalonia: evaluation of the nutritional profile

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 2, Issue 3, July 2024.
Abstract In later years, a growing trend is apparent of vegetarian or vegan diets attributable to a number of causes, among of others, consumers’ concern for animal welfare, climate change and, to a lesser degree, for health‐related issues. On a par to this growth, availability of meat analogues in the market has also been on the rise. In this context,
