The transformation of macrophyte‐derived organic matter to methane relates to plant water and nutrient contents

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 1737-1749, July 2019., 2019
Abstract Macrophyte detritus is one of the main sources of organic carbon (OC) in inland waters, and it is potentially available for methane (CH4) production in anoxic bottom waters and sediments. However, the transformation of macrophyte‐derived OC into CH4 has not been studied systematically, thus its extent and relationship with macrophyte ...

Plastid phylogenomic analysis of green plants: A billion years of evolutionary history

American Journal of Botany, Volume 105, Issue 3, Page 291-301, March 2018., 2018
Premise of the Study For the past one billion years, green plants (Viridiplantae) have dominated global ecosystems, yet many key branches in their evolutionary history remain poorly resolved. Using the largest analysis of Viridiplantae based on plastid genome sequences to date, we examined the phylogeny and implications for morphological evolution at ...

Omnivorous Diets of Sympatric Duck Species in a Subtropical East Asia Wetland Unveiled by Multi‐Marker DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The East Asian–Australasian Flyway (EAAF) is experiencing significant declines in migratory waterbird populations. Understanding the foraging ecology of waterbird species, particularly ducks, is crucial for monitoring and protecting their food sources and wetland habitats.

Average Mass of Seeds Encountered by Foraging Dabbling Ducks in Western Europe

Wildlife Biology, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 328-336, September 2007., 2007
Abstract Many dabbling ducks Anas spp. are largely granivorous, consuming a variety of seeds chiefly from aquatic plants. To assess the relative value and carrying capacity of wetlands for dabbling ducks, species‐specific information about seed mass is needed, but it is still largely missing or scattered in the literature. By combining weights of seeds

How, What, and Where You Sample Environmental DNA Affects Diversity Estimates and Species Detection

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
This study evaluates the impact of two eDNA capture methods—grab samples and tow nets—on species detection and diversity assessment in various aquatic environments in Minnesota, Florida, and Switzerland. It finds that while tow nets yield more eDNA, they do not necessarily correlate with higher biodiversity, highlighting that both capture method and ...

Building an inclusive botany: The “radicle” dream

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 544-557, May 2024.
It is important to recognize how our current understanding of plants has been shaped by diverse cultural contexts, as this underscores the importance of valuing and incorporating contributions from all knowledge systems in scientific pursuits. This approach emphasizes the ongoing bias, including within scientific practices, and the necessity of ...

Angiosperm‐wide analysis of fruit and ovary evolution aided by a new nuclear phylogeny supports association of the same ovary type with both dry and fleshy fruits

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 228-251, February 2024.
Phylogenetic analysis and molecular dating elucidate relationships for orders and families, trace crown angiosperms’ Triassic origin, unveil parallel carpel fusions in early eudicots, monocots, and magnoliids and associate specific fruit types sharing the same ovary type.
