Seasonal Dynamics of the Gut Microbiome in Urban Feral Pigeons Are Associated With Environmental Conditions, Not With Diet Shifts

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using feral pigeons in urban environments, we show that microbiome diversity and composition vary seasonally despite stable diet composition. ABSTRACT Gut microbiomes play a crucial role in host physiology and seasonal adaptation. While seasonal shifts in avian gut microbiota are often attributed to seasonal diet variation, environmental factors may be

Towards an updated checklist of the Libyan flora [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Libyan flora was last documented in a series of volumes published between 1976 and 1989. Since then there has been a substantial realignment of family and generic boundaries and the discovery of many new species.

Does water vole diet meet the prerequisites of the “plant hypothesis” for explaining population cycles?

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rodent population cycles are observed in highly seasonal environments. As most rodents are herbivorous, the availability and the quality of their food resources vary greatly across seasons. Furthermore, it is well documented that herbivore densities have a measurable effect on vegetation and, conversely, that vegetation dynamics can influence ...

Doświadczenia nad kiełkowaniem ziaren pyłkowych na zalążkach kilku przedstawicieli z rodziny Caryophyllaceae i Cruciferae w warunkach hodowli in vitro [Pollen grains germination on ovules of some species of the Caryophyllaceae and Cruciferae families in the in vitro culture]

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015
The ovules of several species of the Caryophyllaceae and Cruciferae families were pollinated in the in vitro culture. Stigmas of the same species were pollinated in natural conditions.

The olfactory basis of orchid pollination by mosquitoes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Mosquitoes are important vectors of disease and require sources of carbohydrates for reproduction and survival. Unlike host-related behaviors of mosquitoes, comparatively less is understood about the mechanisms involved in nectar-feeding decisions, or ...

A revision of Cerdia (Caryophyllaceae) [PDF]

open access: yesBotanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2006
Cerdia is a poorly understood genus of minute cushiony plants endemic to Mexico that is traditionally placed in subfamily Paronychioideae, tribe Polycarpeae (Caryophyllaceae). Morphological observations and phylogenetic analysis of ITS DNA sequences were carried out to determine the number of species, heretofore controversial, that constitute the genus

A 13,000‐Year Record of the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies Inferred From Pollen and Plant Wax Isotopes From the South Atlantic

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We compare a new pollen record with pre‐existing plant‐wax isotope data from lacustrine sediments retrieved from Mt. Usborne, East Falkland. These records document variations in plant productivity, wind intensity, and moisture availability, to measure the influence of the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) over the last 13,000 years.
