Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change is currently affecting chemical grape composition and, consequently, grape quality. The foliar application of biostimulants has emerged as a promising approach to mitigate these effects. This study investigated the effects of foliar applications of calcium (Ca), methyl jasmonate (MeJ), and their combination (Ca + MeJ)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Preharvest light management is increasingly used to enhance yield and fruit quality in soilless systems, yet its effects on unripe melon fruits remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of supplemental red–blue light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting applied during cultivation in a closed‐cycle hydroponic system on ...

Behavioral responses of black bears to human presence and infrastructure in Yosemite National Park
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Using GPS collar data from black bears in Yosemite National Park, we examined how bear spatiotemporal activity in relation to human development shifted during the COVID‐19 park closure in 2020. In the absence of visitors, bears maintained consistent landscape‐scale space use but altered fine‐scale spatial and temporal behaviors.

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Tetrataenium paikadae (Apiaceae), a new species from the Western Ghats, India
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.A new species, Tetrataenium paikadae C.Rekha, Manudev & Prasanth (Apiaceae), is described from the State of Kerala, India. The new species is characterised by its hirsute to hispid stems, broadly ovate or rounded leaflets, long petioles with hirsute leaf sheaths, tomentose rays, symmetric flowers, ovate‐lanceolate involucel bracteoles, and mericarp ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat has been treated as a synonym of P. pulcher Wall. ex Müll. Arg. (syn. Nymphanthus glaucescens (Miq.) R.W.Bouman) since 1987. Through detailed morphological observations of living plants and critical examinations of type materials and additional specimens, this study revealed that the two taxa are morphologically very ...
