From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Ecological stoichiometry of the epiphyte community in a subtropical forest canopy

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Epiphytes in tree canopies make a considerable contribution to the species diversity, aboveground biomass, and nutrient pools in forest ecosystems. However, the nutrient status of epiphytes and their possible adaptations to nutrient deficiencies in the ...

1172. Dendrobium chryseum Rolfe

open access: yesCurtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.
Summary Dendrobium chryseum is a widespread orchid from continental tropical Asia and Taiwan with a confused taxonomical history. In addition to its horticultural merits and its use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this species has significant cultural importance among the Tsou people of Taiwan. Notes on pollination, cultivation, taxonomy, distribution,

Isolation and evaluation of biocontrol agents in controlling anthracnose disease of mango in Thailand

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection Research, 2016
The agricultural based economy is a core business in Thailand and food export is one of the main sources of income for the Thai population. However, pesticides are overused and misused.

Arboreal epiphytes in the soil-atmosphere interface

open access: yes, 2020
Arboreal epiphytes (plants residing in forest canopies) are present across all major climate zones and play important roles in forest biogeochemistry.

Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.

Nitrogen transfer from nitrogen-fixing lichen to co-occurring epiphytes in the subtropical forests of Yunnan

open access: yesGuangxi Zhiwu
Acquiring sufficient nitrogen(N)to meet requirements for growth is a major challenge for epiphytes living in nutrient-poor canopy habitats. Cyanolichens(lichens that contain cyanobacterial symbionts)can function as the primary participants in biological ...

Algal epiphytes on the moss Calliergon giganteum.

open access: yes, 1994
The algal epiphyte flora on Calliergon giganteum in the mud pools is rich in diatoms, blue-green and green algae, mostly common wetland species. The epiphytes found on both the submerged and the emerged populations of the moss are generally more abundant

Ontogenetic and spatial variation in the trophic ecology of the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) in temperate eastern Australia

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) is a fast‐swimming pelagic shark of global ecological and socioeconomic importance, yet it is relatively understudied in temperate eastern Australian waters. This study investigated the trophic ecology of mako sharks using stable isotope analysis (SIA) of nitrogen (δ15N), carbon (δ13C) and sulphur (δ34S ...

Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) gametophytes grow endophytically in red macroalgae: Implications for kelp restoration

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests have declined by 95% in Australia since the 1970s due to climate change. Despite expanding restoration efforts, long‐term recovery is still lacking. Factors influencing recruitment by the microscopic gametophyte phase may represent a key mechanism underpinning the successful recovery and restoration of
