Climate and seed mass drive intraspecific variation in seed longevity in storage

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Conservation seed banks are essential for ex situ plant conservation, but stored seeds slowly deteriorate and lose viability. Seed longevity in storage is determined by the initial seed viability and the rate of seed viability loss. The rate of seed viability loss in storage varies between species and possibly between populations or ...

Compositional Characterization, Quality Parameters, and Physicochemical and Bioactive Properties of Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense) Oils From Xingu and Cerrado in Mato Grosso, Brazil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Cerrado oil is richer in MUFA and antioxidant compounds, while Xingu oil shows higher SFA and enhanced oxidative stability, reinforcing the potential of pequi oil as a sustainable bioactive ingredient. ABSTRACT Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense) is a native fruit widely distributed in Brazilian biomes, specially in Cerrado, known for its high oil yield and ...

Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Challenges of collecting blow from small cetaceans

Ecosphere, 2019
We trialed the collection of blow samples using a waterproof electric multirotor (quadcopter) drone from two free‐ranging dolphin species, the abundant and approachable bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) and the less common and boat shy humpback ...

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.
