Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...

Effects of irrigated cover crop cultivation period on common bean and soybean yield
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract Cover crop inclusion is essential for improving soil management in tropical no till systems; however, the optimal duration of irrigated off‐season cultivation remains uncertain. This 3‐year field study evaluated nine cover crop species or mixtures and four cultivation periods (60, 75, 90, and 105 days) on biomass production, soil chemical ...

Testing the Adaptive Significance of Personate Flowers in Penstemon (Plantaginaceae)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Floral diversity across plant lineages reflects evolutionary shifts in mating strategy and pollinator specificity. The genus Penstemon contains a handful of species that display personate flowers—a peculiar bee‐pollinated floral type characterized by an upward bulge in the ventral portion of the corolla tube that obstructs the floral opening.

The nucleotide sequences of chloroplast 4.5 S rRNAs from four species of plants, celery (Apium graveoleus), barley (Hordeum vulgare), Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum) and dayflower (Commelina communis) [PDF]
, 1986 Four chloroplast 4.5 S rRNAs were isolated from the respective plant leaves by a simple method. The complete nucleotide sequences were determined using rapid gel sequencing techniques. The sequences are highly conserved among chloroplast 4.5 S rRNAs. The

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Weed Research, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT High weed infestation remains a major constraint on crop productivity for smallholder farmers practising Conservation Agriculture (CA). Fewer, more diverse weeds are desirable to reduce competition and provide ecosystem services. Crop diversification can help, but it is not yet clear which species combinations and layouts are most effective ...

Management Of Commelina benghalensis with Saflufenacil in Shaded Environments [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2019 : The repetitive use of glyphosate in the control of weeds in eucalyptus plantations has selected tolerant species such as Commelina benghalensis. Therefore, the use of herbicides of other mechanisms of action, such as saflufenacil, in rotation or ...

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.Abstract Following an abiotic or biotic stress, the pH of the extracellular space or the apoplast of a plant can change dramatically, such as wounding that causes an increase in pH or alkalinization. In this proof‐of‐concept‐study, a newly developed carbon‐based bendable potentiometric sensor was tested for the first time in vivo on common bean ...
