In Silico and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Mapping Reveals Collinearity between the Pennisetum squamulatum Apomixis Carrier-Chromosome and Chromosome 2 of Sorghum and Foxtail Millet. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Apomixis, or clonal propagation through seed, is a trait identified within multiple species of the grass family (Poaceae). The genetic locus controlling apomixis in Pennisetum squamulatum (syn Cenchrus squamulatus) and Cenchrus ciliaris (syn Pennisetum ...

Population dynamics, survival, and movements of Texas tortoises in a national park in southern Texas
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Texas tortoise abundance in a small national park in South Texas, USA, declined by >25%, from an estimated 273 tortoises in 2014 to 204 tortoises in 2024. The severity of the decline varied across survey units, but abundance remained highest in areas having greater canopy cover and experiencing less invasion by Guinea grass.

Spatial Representativeness of MexFlux as a Regional FLUXNET Network
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Environmental observatory networks are fundamental in advancing scientific understanding of biogeochemical processes. FLUXNET is a global network of regional eddy covariance networks that measure ecosystem‐scale exchanges of greenhouse gases (e.g., CO2, CH4, H2O) and energy between the biosphere and the atmosphere.
