Sustainable Palm Oil Extraction and Trends in the Use of Green Technologies: State‐of‐the‐Art and Future Directions

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Palm oil, which is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit of the Elaeis guineensis Jacq. palm tree, is the most widely produced vegetable oil in the world. The extraction of this substance typically utilizes the conventional pressing method, a technique that is advantageous due to its low operating cost and simplified process.

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In North America, Phragmites australis (common reed) has drawn a great deal of research attention. Non‐native P. australis subsp. australis is a noxious weed that has locally displaced native P. australis subsp. americanus in some areas.

Growth of candidate phyla radiation bacteria in groundwater incubations reveals widespread adaptations to oxic conditions

Microbiome
Background The candidate phyla radiation (CPR) comprises a widespread but poorly understood group of bacteria with limited cultured representatives, largely due to their metabolic dependencies on microbial hosts.

Biodiversity Conservation of Aquatic Ecosystems

, 2022
Freshwater systems are among the most endangered biomes globally. Drivers and pressures include an increased demand for food, energy and water, expansion of urban areas that leads to changes in hydrology and water chemistry, as well as climate change which acts as overarching threat interacting with multiple aspects of the ecosystem.

Resilience of imperilled headwater stream fish to an unpredictable high-magnitude flood

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2015
Headwater stream fish communities are increasingly becoming isolated in headwater refugia that are often cut off from other metapopulations within a river network as a result of nonnative fish invasions, pollution, water abstraction and habitat ...

Insights into the phylogeny of the ciliate of class Colpodea based on multigene data

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
In the class Colpodea, there are many unresolved evolutionary relationships among taxa. Here, we report 30 new sequences including SSU‐rRNA, ITS1‐5.8S‐ ITS2 rRNA, and the mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal RNA (mtSSU‐rRNA) genes of five colpodeans ...

Identification, characterization, and function of GRP94 and HSP90β in cold stress response in cold water fish Phoxinus lagowskii

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
The glucose-regulated protein (GRP94) and HSP90β are highly conserved and diverse molecular chaperones that could prevent protein aggregation and denaturation while also playing an important role in cellular stress responses.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...
