Abiotic factors and plant traits affect the soil microbial properties in forests across the Japanese archipelago

Ecological Research, EarlyView.
We examined how abiotic factors and plant traits affect soil microbial properties in 18 forests across the Japanese archipelago. Our results showed that, in addition to abiotic factors, plant leaf traits contributed to explaining the landscape‐scale variations in soil microbial properties.

High‐resolution digital canopy height models, terrain models, ortho‐mosaic photos, and canopy tree crown shapes derived from UAV‐borne LiDAR at 22 tree census plots across Japanese natural forests

Ecological Research, EarlyView.
This data paper includes four types of high‐resolution digital data across 22 Japanese natural forests: digital terrain models, digital canopy height models, ortho‐mosaic photos, and crown polygons covering 151 species with 4056 individuals. Abstract Recent developments in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR ...

Crown structure and competitive interactions in mixed forests: Insights from an individual‐based model

Ecological Research, EarlyView.
Conifers adapt to high‐latitude regions with narrow crowns, while broadleaf trees form spherical crowns in low‐latitude areas. This study utilized the Spatially Explicit Individual‐Based Dynamic Global Vegetation Model to analyze the impact of crown morphology on competition and ecosystem productivity.

Population genetics of Zamia decumbens (Zamiaceae, Cycadales), an endangered cycad from the Maya Mountains of Belize

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.
We utilized 10 microsatellite loci to examine the genetic diversity, genetic structure, and demographic history of Zamia decumbens Calonje, Meerman, M.P. Griff. & Hoese, an endangered cycad species occurring in small disjunct populations on karst topography within the Maya Mountains of Belize.

Missouri Botanical Garden's cycad collection: A journey through time

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.
This article summarizes the history of the Missouri Botanical Garden's extensive cycad collection. Some of the specimens currently housed in the living collections date back well over 100 years. Cycads continue to face a myriad of threats in the wild, and their conservation in ex situ collections is of critical importance to assist in their survival ...

Agropastoral possibilism and the trajectorial affordances of Danish inland heaths: a study of deep‐time entrapment Possibilisme agropastoral et affordances des trajectoires dans les landes de l'arrière‐pays danois : une étude des entraves dans le passé lointain

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
History does not unfold along a single trajectory, and yet the socioecological configuration of landscapes may narrow the directions history can take. This article develops a framework for assessing the directionality of history in a (pre)historic heath landscape in Denmark.

Gut Mycobiota of Three Rhinopithecus Species Provide New Insights Into the Association Between Diet and Environment

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed the basic structures of gut mycobiota of three wild Rhinopithecus species. The gut mycobiota of Rhinopithecus showed close connection with their feeding habits, and there were associations between gut mycobiota and the host's living environments.

Chinese Pangolin Changes Local Vertebrate Assemblages and Contributes to Their Interspecific Interactions by Burrowing and Revisitation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we systematically analyzed the utilization patterns of Chinese pangolin burrows by sympatric species in Guangdong Province, China, including differences in species composition using burrow mounds and burrow tunnels. We found that repeated visits to burrows by Chinese pangolin promoted the use of burrows by sympatric species, suggesting ...

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...
