EucaMOD: a comprehensive multi-omics database for functional genomics research and molecular breeding of fast-growing eucalyptus trees. [PDF]

Plant J
Significance Statement As eucalyptus research increasingly relies on big data, scientists have lacked a modern, integrated platform for multi‐omics analysis. We present a comprehensive eucalyptus multi‐omics database and analysis platform (EucaMOD) that unifies genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data for 39 species, providing a vital resource to ...

Precocious Cone Formation Observed on a Three-Year-Old Giant Sequoia Seedling. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here, we report a case of precocious female cone formation in a three‐year‐old giant sequoia seedling (Sequoiadendron giganteum). Given that sequoia groves are threatened by increasing frequency of high severity fire, this observation suggests that a more systematic study of the size/age of earliest reproduction in sequoia is warranted.

Socioeconomic and Environmental Impacts of <i>Eucalyptus</i> Plantations in Ethiopia: An Evaluation of Benefits, Challenges, and Sustainable Practices. [PDF]

ScientificWorldJournal
Eucalyptus was first introduced to Ethiopia in the late 19th century to address the scarcity of firewood and construction wood in the capital city. Since then, it has spread across the country and has become an important source of income for many households while also reducing the need for deforestation.

Fossil insect-feeding traces indicate unrecognized evolutionary history and biodiversity on Australia's iconic Eucalyptus. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Fossilized plant–insect herbivore associations provide fundamental information about the assembly of terrestrial communities through geologic time. However, fossil evidence of associations originating in deep time and persisting to the modern day is scarce. We studied the insect herbivore damage found on 284 Eucalyptus frenguelliana leaves from

Foraging activity by an ecosystem engineer, the superb lyrebird, 'farms' its invertebrate prey. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
We show that the superb lyrebird, an ecosystem engineer, undertakes a unique form of resource farming through its foraging activity. By modulating litter and soil habitats on the forest floor, lyrebirds create conditions conducive to their invertebrate prey, increasing richness and biomass and resulting in a remarkable farming feedback loop.

Thermal drone surveys to detect arboreal fauna: Improving population estimates and threatened species monitoring. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Sound methods to determine species occurrence and abundance are crucial for successful wildlife management and conservation. When species communities cannot be readily detected using camera traps or acoustic monitoring, ground survey methods such as spotlighting on foot are commonly used.

The Mechanisms Through Which Fire Drives Population Change in Terrestrial Biota. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Understanding the mechanisms through which fire influences populations is necessary to protect species from fire regime change. We develop a cross‐taxa framework that identifies mechanisms through which fire regimes influence terrestrial species populations, including for amphibians, birds, fungi, insects, mammals, plants, and reptiles.

Plasticity of Leaf Respiratory and Photosynthetic Traits in Eucalyptus grandis and E. regnans Grown Under Variable Light and Nitrogen Availability

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Plant growth strategies are adapted to resource availability in native habitat(s), and thus reflected in traits such as photosynthetic and respiratory capacities of leaves.

Forest Structure Drives Fuel Moisture Response across Alternative Forest States

Fire, 2021
Climate warming is expected to increase fire frequency in many productive obligate seeder forests, where repeated high-intensity fire can initiate stand conversion to alternative states with contrasting structure.

Do Fire Cues Enhance Germination of Soil Seed Stores across an Ecotone of Wet Eucalypt Forest to Cool Temperate Rainforest in the Central Highlands of South-Eastern Australia?

Fire, 2023
Soil seed banks play an important role in plant species persistence in fire-prone systems. Response to fire related germination cues often reflect historical fire regimes and can be important in maintaining ecotones between different forest types.
