Pairing Spruce Budworm Control and Minimal Understory Perturbations: Effects of Btk Spraying Frequency in Boreal Forests. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSpruce budworm epidemic induces tree mortality and modifies understory communities. Could aerial spraying of Btk reduce perturbations in understory communities? Biannual Btk spraying could prevent both wood loss and understory degradation. ABSTRACT Since 1985, more than 10 million hectares of Canadian forests have been treated against spruce budworm ...

Syrphid Diversity in Sweet Alyssum Flower Strips in Quebec's Lettuce Fields: Molecular Identification and Delimitation of the <i>Sphaerophoria</i> Complex. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study demonstrates that sweet alyssum effectively attracts syrphid species, the majority of which are aphid predators, making it a promising tool for biological control in Quebec lettuce fields. With Toxomerus marginatus as the most abundant species, the research also underscores taxonomic challenges within the Sphaerophoria complex and provides a

Synergistic Effect of Organic Waste Products and Microbial Inocula on Iron and Zinc Biofortification in Cowpea [<i>Vigna unguiculata</i> (L.) Walp.]. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrAgro‐biofortification using micronutrient‐rich organic waste products combined with local beneficial microorganisms and mycorrhizal fungi substantially enhanced iron and zinc concentrations in cowpea. Across contrasting seasons, this integrated approach increased Fe by up to 48% in grains and 259% in haulms, and Zn by up to 28% in grains and 265% in ...

Influence of Plant Species and De-Icing Salt on Microbial Communities in Bioretention. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepPlant species shape bioretention bacterial and fungal communities and their associated functions, which drive system efficiency. These results underscore the importance of plant selection when designing bioretention systems. Moreover, the communities were preserved or recovered within 5 months after the exposure to NaCl levels typical of spring runoff.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Urbanization is changing the conditions in which many species live, forcing them to adjust to these novel environments. Floral size and shape are critical traits for the reproduction of plants pollinated by animals as they are involved in the attraction ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background The Fertilization-related kinases (FRK) form a class that belongs to the MEKK subfamily of plant MAPKKKs. It was recently shown that FRK class kinases expanded during angiosperm evolution, reaching their maximum numbers in the lineage leading ...

Plants, 2022 Phytoremediation shows great promise as a plant-based alternative to conventional clean-up methods that are prohibitively expensive. As part of an integrated strategy, the selection of well-adapted plant species as well as planting and management ...
