Pteridium aquilinum (Dennstaedtiaceae), a Novel Hyperaccumulator Species of Hexavalent Chromium
Hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) is a highly toxic environmental pollutant produced as a byproduct of stainless steel manufacture and leather tanning. Several vegetal Cr VI-accumulating species have been investigated in phytoremediation, a promising technology to remove heavy metals from soils and water bodies.

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

We used DNA metabarcoding of 2,568 fecal samples to examine seasonal diets and resource partitioning among four deer species (moose, roe deer, red deer, fallow deer) across two Swedish landscapes. Deer consumed a wide range of plants, but diets were typically dominated by a few key taxa, with distinct dietary separation between moose and smaller deer ...
