Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Ethnobotanical and genetic assessments of Central American avocado landraces reveal novel sources of biodiversity and ancient migration patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Avocados are a multibillion‐dollar global commodity, but their growing export market pressures local farmers to abandon local fruit tree diversity in favor of commercial cultivar production. Interviews with rural avocado farmers and households from the Southern Mexican Highlands, Pacific Coastal Honduras, and Western Nicaragua, as well as the genetic ...

Improving Demographics and Conservation of Fishes Through Multi‐Frame Individual Distinctions by Size (MIDS)

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
MIDS (Multi‐frame Individual Distinctions by Size) is a new software package for improving how fish populations are assessed using stereo‐video data. By using the length, error and statistical inference of measurements, MIDS distinguishes individuals across multiple video frames and autonomously removes repeat observations, regardless of when the ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Context‐Dependent Effects of Beavers (Castor spp.) on Freshwater Pearl Mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in European Rivers 河狸对欧洲河流中的淡水珍珠贝 (Margaritifera margaritifera) 存在情境依赖性影响

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
The study explores how beavers (Castor spp.) affect endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in European rivers. Beaver dams can harm small, fragmented mussel populations by reducing flow, increasing sediment, and potentially limiting host fish movement, while larger populations may benefit from improved bed stability and ...
