Ecosystem retrogression enhances cross‐domain microbial stability and increases the genetic potential for nutrient cycling

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem retrogression drives nutrient depletion, reduced productivity, and profound reorganization of soil microbial communities. Using amplicon sequencing and genome‐resolved metagenomics, we examined how cross‐domain microbial networks and functional gene potential respond to long‐term phosphorus and nitrogen limitation along the well ...

Proximity to wind turbines altered plant–pollinator dynamics in prairie and sagebrush ecosystems in Wyoming, USA

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...

Macro‐ and micromorphological insights into Iranian Onobrychis subgenus Onobrychis Miller (Fabaceae): exploring fruit traits for taxonomic clarity

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
This study provides a comprehensive examination of fruit morphology and micromorphology characteristics of 28 populations of Onobrychis subgenus Onobrychis taxa from Iran, using both light and scanning electron microscopy. For each trait, 25 replicates were analyzed, encompassing a wide range of qualitative and quantitative traits.

Demonstrating the Theory of Ecological Speciation in Cichlids

PLoS Biology, 2006
The geological history of Africa’s Lake Victoria, the second largest freshwater lake in the world, provided the raw materials for investigating one of the most compelling hypotheses for the origin of species: ecological speciation. After drying out three times over its 400,000-year history, the lake refilled about 15,000 years ago, and the few cichlid ...

Leaf micromorphology and genetic diversity analysis of Iranian Hordeum species using ISSR and SCoT markers

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The genus Hordeum (Poaceae), of the tribe Triticeae, comprises approximately 32 species with substantial potential for barley improvement. Hordeum vulgare is an economically important cereal widely cultivated across diverse environments, from the Arctic to desert and humid regions.

Chemical diversity and phylogenetic insights into Hawaiian ʻākia (Wikstroemia) species used in traditional fishing practices

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...

Multiple barriers maintain species boundaries in sympatric brood‐site deceptive Gastrodia orchids

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Gastrodia orchids are inconspicuous forest plants that lack chlorophyll and obtain carbon from fungi. Their dull‐colored, ground‐level flowers are often hidden among leaf litter, yet they rely on small flies for pollination.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant performance in trace element‐contaminated soils with element‐specific accumulation patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil contamination by toxic trace elements is a growing global challenge that threatens food safety, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem health. We combined results from many experiments worldwide to assess whether beneficial soil fungi can help plants cope with contaminated soils.

Negative global-scale association between genetic diversity and speciation rates in mammals

Nature Communications
Genetic diversity is critical for species evolution and their adaptability to global changes, while speciation rate is critical for explaining large-scale patterns of species richness. Exploring correlates of variation in genetic diversity and speciation

Resistance to thiophanate‐methyl and azoxystrobin in Colletotrichum species from Brazilian grapes

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
First report of resistance to both quinone outside inhibitor (QoI; azoxystrobin) and methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC; thiophanate‐methyl) fungicides in Colletotrichum isolates associated with grapevine in Brazil. Abstract BACKGROUND Grape ripe rot (GRR) caused by Colletotrichum species can cause yield loss in vineyards in Southern and Northeast ...
