Diverse ecological functions and the convergent evolution of grass awns. [PDF]
Abstract The awn of grasses is a long, conspicuous outgrowth of the floral bracts in a grass spikelet. It is known to impact agricultural yield, but we know little about its broader ecological function, nor the selective forces that lead to its evolution. Grass awns are phenotypically diverse across the extant ~12,000 species of Poaceae. Awns have been

Threatened endemic arthropods and vertebrates partition their diets with non-native ants in an isolated island ecosystem. [PDF]
Abstract The success of non‐native species depends on their ability to find food, which may ultimately lead to competition with native species and contribute to biodiversity loss in invaded ecosystems. Understanding which food resources are consumed is therefore crucial for evaluating how non‐native species mechanistically fit into native biological ...

INFLUENCE OF THE GLYPHOSATE FORMULATIONS ON WETTABILITY AND EVAPORATION TIME OF DROPLETS ON DIFFERENT TARGETS [PDF]
Efficiency of weed control can be increased if the herbicide formulation provides higher target coverage and evaporation time that enable an adequate distribution of herbicide on the target plant, allowing the absorption to continue even after the ...

Pest categorisation of Pantoea ananatis
Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Pantoea ananatis, a Gram‐negative bacterium belonging to the Erwiniaceae family. P. ananatis is a well‐defined taxonomic unit; nonetheless, its pathogenic nature is not well defined and non‐pathogenic populations are known to occupy several, very different environmental niches as ...

Implementation and Use of Green Manures for Weed Suppression in Sequential Maize Cropping
The ground cover produced by green manures has a direct influence on weed suppression and, in addition, the biomass produced by these same plants influences crop growth. This study was carried out to compare the effect of green manure species on the incidence of weeds, in sequence, in order to evaluate the effects of the use of green manure cover on ...
