ABSTRACT Recent advances in agricultural production and storage systems have contributed to a significant enhancement in annual wheat production and preservation, aimed at satisfying increasing consumer demands. Despite such potential developments, there are still significant post‐harvest losses in stored wheat, induced by destructive pests, grain ...

Assembly of Australia's Alpine Seed Plant Flora
ABSTRACT To characterise the assembly of Australia's distinctive native alpine seed plant flora. Past events when species were sequestered into the alpine habitat from warmer climates and/or distant regions were identified using published phylogenies and distribution information.

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.

Understanding the winter diets of endangered ungulates is critical for developing effective conservation strategies in temperate ecosystems, where seasonal fluctuations significantly affect food availability. The long‐tailed goral Naemorhedus caudatus, an herbivorous ungulate listed as a category I ‘Endangered species' (EN) under the Korean Wildlife ...

We tested how elevation and microclimate influenced butterfly–flower interaction networks at the hottest time of year in a Mediterranean mountain range. Interactions were dominated at all sites by one or two abundant butterfly and flower species, but butterfly networks were more robust to plant species loss at higher elevations. Nectar availability may

Phenolic compounds in species of the Blechnaceae
The occurrence of caffeic acid derivatives in 32 species of Blechnaceae revealed differences in the presence of rosmarinic acid and blechnic acid B, a novel compound in ferns. Abstract Rosmarinic acid and other caffeic and 4‐coumaric acid derivatives are widespread in land plants.
