Assessment of leaf area index (LAI) seasonal dynamics in young plantations of Sorbus intermedia (Ehrh.) Pers., 1805 for an urban ecosystem based on digital hemispherical photography

open access: yesEcology and Noospherology
In 2025, a monitoring study was conducted on the seasonal dynamics of the effective leaf area index (effective LAI, 4 rings) for 25 trees of an artificial plantation of Sorbus intermedia (Ehrh.) Pers., 1805 in the Botanical Garden of Oles Honchar Dnipro National University (Dnipro, Ukraine). The research spanned the entire growing season from May 30 to

What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Evaluation of several measures of canopy openness as predictors of photosynthetic photon flux density in deeply shaded conifer-dominated forest understory

open access: yes, 1999
The ability to accurately estimate light levels in shaded environments is important for understanding plant adaptations to shade. This study evaluates the effectiveness of three rapid methods of estimating the long-term integrated percentage of above ...

Geographical distribution of the Pinnated Bittern (Botaurus pinnatus): Update and seasonal movement pattern

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The Pinnated Bittern Botaurus pinnatus (Ardeidae) is a widely distributed Neotropical wading bird whose distribution and seasonal status remain poorly resolved. Discrepancies among published literature, citizen science records and the range currently assumed by BirdLife International indicate that both its geographical distribution and migratory ...

Range extension and first records of Coryphaenoides striaturus Barnard, 1925 and Coryphaenoides subserrulatus Makushok, 1976 (Macrouridae: Gadiformes) in Brazilian waters, Southwest Atlantic, using integrative taxonomy

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Coryphaenoides Gunnerus, 1765 comprises 66 valid species of deep‐sea fishes commonly known as grenadiers, with 6 previously reported from Brazilian waters. Here, we make the first records for Coryphaenoides striaturus and Coryphaenoides subserrulatus on the Brazilian continental slope. Both species are distributed in the subtropical regions of

Endocranial anatomy of the earliest Cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT‐scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern UK. From the study of the endocast, we obtained new information on the phylogeny and the ecological evolution of the Family ...

The MacBrain Resource Center (MBRC) rhesus macaque postnatal brain histology datasets: Enabling new discoveries through NHP tissue and digital data Repositories

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The MacBrain Resource Center (MBRC) postnatal rhesus macaque brain histology datasets are organized into Collections that promote cost‐effective de novo research. This article provides examples from Collections 5, 6, and 7 and describes the histo‐ and immunohistochemical (IHC) processing of materials for Collection 6.

Epitypification of Merismopedia tranquilla (Cyanobacteria) prompts phylogenetic reassessment of the genus and the description of two morphologically similar genera

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Merismopedia is morphologically characterized by its distinctive colony arrangement yet exhibits considerable variability among species. Recent studies suggested that Merismopedia is polyphyletic, and its most likely true lineage was provisionally placed within the Microcystaceae. However, the available molecular data for most of the
