Only a few studies on moles have focused on mountain forests, where assessing abundance is complicated by thick layers of plant leaf litter and complex topography. By carefully searching for active mole tunnels along unpaved trails, we quantified the relative abundance of the lesser Japanese mole in mountain forests.

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species
We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...
