Two centuries of Begonia exploration in the Philippines: Progress and challenges associated with a megadiverse genus in the Global South

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Megadiverse genera represent the highest concentration of plant diversity, but these plants are also located primarily in countries in the Global South where huge gaps in botanical knowledge remain. This study summarized two centuries of Begonia collection records in the Philippines to show how historical events coincide with collection and taxonomic ...

Cryptic Nemertean Species: A Marine Biodiversity “Wildcard”

, 2018
1 Broadside. 48"W x 36"HI utilized DNA barcoding methods to determine whether unidentified nemertean specimens collected from Panama were all members of the same species or members of multiple cryptic species.Kalamazoo College.

A historical specimen of False Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum) resolves a 245‐year‐old confusion within an important medicinal mushroom group

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has expanded far beyond Asia, with growing markets in North America and Europe for supplements and functional foods. Lingzhi or Reishi (Ganoderma lingzhi), a well‐known medicinal mushroom, is valued for its anti‐inflammatory and anticancer properties.

Distinct Conformational Switches Control WPD‐Loop Dynamics Across Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Subfamilies

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPs) regulate cellular signaling by balancing phosphotyrosine levels through a conserved WPD‐loop that switches between open (inactive) and closed (active) conformations. While this conformational change is crucial for catalysis, the structural factors governing this motion remain poorly understood.

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

Mating history shapes Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility and female fitness in an insect pest

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Mating order and remating of females by males with different endosymbiont associations strongly shape Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility, female fitness and offspring sex ratio. An incompatible first mating was weakly affected if followed by a compatible mating and vice versa, indicating strong first‐male sperm precedence with consequences ...
