Classification of decay resistance against white and brown rot fungi within the cultivated Calamus manan stems [PDF]

, 2013
The decay resistance classes of cultivated Calamus manan aged 10 and 13 years old were investigated. One stem of each age was divided into five different portions namely basal (1.5 metre), upper basal (5.5 metre), middle (13.5 metre), upper middle (17.5 ...

Resistance of thermally modified and pressurized hot water extracted Scots pine sapwood against decay by the brown-rot fungus Rhodonia placenta

European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 2019
The thermal degradation of wood is affected by a number of process parameters, which may also cause variations in the resistance against decay fungi. This study compares changes in the chemical composition, water-related properties and decay resistance ...

The contribution of wood‐inhabiting fungi and bacteria to dead wood decomposition varies along a regional climatic gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Dead wood decomposition is a crucial ecological function in forests, influenced by climate and facilitated by microbial communities. While fungi are considered the primary decomposers, bacteria also contribute, interacting with fungi in both facilitative and competitive

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Molecular characterization and biodiversity of wood-decaying fungi in French Guiana [PDF]

, 2014
Fungi from tropical regions are currently under-represented in the classification system. Indeed, difficult access to tropical forests and irregular occurrence carpophores make it complicated to study fungus species in such environments, unlike in ...

Following basal stem rot in young oil palm plantings [PDF]

, 2005
The PCR primer GanET has previously been shown to be suitable for the specific amplification of DNA from Ganoderma boninense. A DNA extraction and PCR method has been developed that allows for the amplification of the G.
