Fully automatic extraction of morphological traits from the web: Utopia or reality?

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Plant morphological traits, their observable characteristics, are fundamental to understanding the role played by each species within its ecosystem; however, compiling trait information for even a moderate number of species is a demanding task that may take experts years to accomplish.

A sensitive SYBR Green RT-qPCR method for grapevine virus E and its application for virus detection in different grapevine sample types

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
To develop a rapid and high-sensitivity method for detection of grapevine virus E (GVE), a SYBR Green based real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR method (RT-qPCR) was established.

Vegetation's Red Edge: A Possible Spectroscopic Biosignature of Extraterrestrial Plants [PDF]

open access: yesAstrobiology 5 (2005) 372-390, 2005
Earth's deciduous plants have a sharp order-of-magnitude increase in leaf reflectance between approximately 700 and 750 nm wavelength. This strong reflectance of Earth's vegetation suggests that surface biosignatures with sharp spectral features might be detectable in the spectrum of scattered light from a spatially unresolved extrasolar terrestrial ...

Bending performance changes during prolonged canine eruption in saber‐toothed carnivores: A case study of Smilodon fatalis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The canine of saber‐toothed predators represents one of the most specialized dental structures known. Hypotheses about the function of hypertrophied canines range from display and conspecific interaction, soft food processing, to active prey acquisition.

Predicting fine-scale taxonomic variation in landscape vegetation using large satellite imagery data sets [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Accurate information on the distribution of vegetation species is used as a proxy for the health of an ecosystem, a currency of international environmental treaties, and a necessary planning tool for forest preservation and rehabilitation, to name just a few of its applications.

Using Multitemporal Sentinel-1 C-band Backscatter to Monitor Phenology and Classify Deciduous and Coniferous Forests in Northern Switzerland

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Efficient methods to monitor forested areas help us to better understand their processes. To date, only a few studies have assessed the usability of multitemporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) datasets in this context.

Morphological diversity of saber‐tooth upper canines and its functional implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Elongated upper canine teeth, commonly known as saber‐teeth, have evolved three times within the sub‐order Feliformia. The species that wielded them flourished throughout the Cenozoic and have historically been separated into two morphological groups: the dirk‐tooths with longer, flatter canines, and the scimitar‐tooths with shorter, serrated ...

Management of primary molars with irreversible pulpitis employing tampon pulpotomy: Report of three cases with 34‐month mean follow‐up

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2021
This study suggests that tampon‐based coronal pulpotomy using a calcium silicate–based biomaterial can be a reliable approach for the treatment of vital primary molars with irreversible pulpitis.
