Changes in Alcohol Retail Laws and Foot Traffic at Liquor Stores
ABSTRACT We study how expanding alcohol availability at grocery and convenience stores affects consumer traffic in liquor stores by leveraging recent changes in state‐level alcohol distribution laws in a difference‐in‐difference quasi‐experimental design.

Hepaticae of Cerro Venamo, Venezuela, collected by J. Steyermark [PDF]
A revision of herbarium material (NY) from Cerro Venamo, Venezuela (5°59’ N, 61°23’ W, 1890 m) yielded 77 hepatic species in 44 genera and 13 families. Most species have a neotropical distribution (75,32%), 6,49%, are pantropical and 9,09% are reported ...

Shaped by context: Evolutionary trajectories of desiccation tolerance in land plants
Abstract Desiccation tolerance (DT), the ability to survive near‐complete cellular dehydration, is widespread in diaspores but rare in the vegetative tissues of land plants. The patchy and punctuated phylogenetic distribution of vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) suggests that the trait is both ancient and recurrent, yet the evolutionary ...

Solanum clarum and S. morelliforme as novel model species for studies of epiphytism
The natural history of epiphytic plant species has been extensively studied. However, little is known about the physiology and genetics of epiphytism. This is due to difficulties associated with growing epiphytic plants and the lack of tools for genomics

Epiphyte type and sampling height impact mesofauna communities in Douglas-fir trees [PDF]
Branches and boles of trees in wet forests are often carpeted with lichens and bryophytes capable of providing periodically saturated habitat suitable for microfauna, animals that include tardigrades, rotifers, nematodes, mites, and springtails. Although

The multidimensional characteristics of plant traits and their trade‐offs are central to ecology. However, there is a lack of systematic and standardized tools for analyzing these intricate relationships. To fill this gap, we developed the ‘MultiTraits' R package, which incorporates four complementary analytical modules: competitors–stress tolerators ...

Endophytic and Epiphytic Microbes as Sources of Bioactive Agents
Beginning with the report by Stierle and Strobel in 1993 on taxol(R) production by an endophytic fungus 1, it is possible that a number of the agents now used as leads to treatments of diseases in man, are not produced by the plant or invertebrate host ...

Short term effects of irradiance on the growth of Pterocladiella capillacea (Gelidiales, Rhodophyta) [PDF]
Pterocladiella capillacea has been economically exploited for agar extraction in the Azores for many years. Harvesting dropped to a full stop in the early 1990s due to a population collapse, but restarted in 2013.
