Association of maternal genetics with the gut microbiome and eucalypt diet selection in captive koalas [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Koalas, an Australian arboreal marsupial, depend on eucalypt tree leaves for their diet. They selectively consume only a few of the hundreds of available eucalypt species.

Exploring the genetic basis of heterosis in eucalypt growth based on transcriptome analysis [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background The fundamental way to solve the problems of a Limited interspecific gene pool, poor stress resistance, and low yield in Chinese eucalypt plantations is to use the Heterosis derived from the eucalypt gene pool to select new varieties with rich

Analysis of combining ability and heterosis based on controlled pollination populations of eucalypt [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Artificial hybridization remains the most effective method for genetic improvement of eucalypt, though limited research exists on the genetic basis of heterosis for interesting traits in Chinese eucalypt.

Birds, Bats or Climate? Eucalypt Floral Traits Reflect Pollination Over Abiotic Environment [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Flowers and their traits vary greatly across species, influenced by biotic and abiotic environmental variation. We explore the relative effects of pollination and abiotic environment on flower size and colour in a species‐rich tree clade (eucalypts ...

Life History of the Giant Looper Moth Ascotis selenaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) in Eucalyptus Plantations and the Effect of Adult Mating Age on Fecundity [PDF]

Biology
Ascotis selenaria has recently shifted hosts to become a major defoliator in Southern China’s eucalyptus plantations. To facilitate Integrated Pest Management (IPM), we investigated the genetic origins, life history, and reproductive bio-ecology of this ...

Water balance complexities in ephemeral catchments with different land uses: Insights from monitoring and distributed hydrologic modeling [PDF]

, 2016
Although ephemeral catchments are widespread in arid and semiarid climates, the relationship of their water balance with climate, geology, topography, and land cover is poorly known.

Factors Limiting the Growth of Eucalyptus and the Characteristics of Growth and Water Use under Water and Fertilizer Management in the Dry Season of Leizhou Peninsula, China

Agronomy, 2019
The growth rate of eucalyptus in the dry season was significantly lower than that in the wet season. However, the limiting factors of eucalyptus growth in the dry season are not clear.

Plantation forests and biodiversity conservation [PDF]

, 2003
There are five key reasons why biodiversity conservation should be considered a part of plantation management. (1) The plantation estate is large, and balancing various land management values with wood and pulp production is important when extensive ...

Assessing the role of dispersed floralresources for managed bees in providingsupporting ecosystem services for croppollination [PDF]

, 2018
Most pollination ecosystem services studies have focussed on wild pollinators and their dependence on natural floral resources adjacent to crop fields. However, managed pollinators depend on a mixture of floral resources that are spatially separated from
