The introduction of an invasive weed was not followed by the introduction of ethnobotanical knowledge: a review on the ethnobotany of Centaurea solstitialis L. (Asteraceae) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2023
Invasive plants are known for their impacts to ecosystems and societies, but their potential cultural use tend to be unexplored. One important mechanism of plant invasion is the use of “allelochemicals” or “novel weapons”: chemical defenses which are new

Autofluorescence Is a Common Trait in Different Oceanic Fungi

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
Natural autofluorescence is a widespread phenomenon observed in different types of tissues and organisms. Depending on the origin of the autofluorescence, its intensity can provide insights on the physiological state of an organism.

Phylogeny and Metabolic Potential of the Candidate Phylum SAR324

open access: yesBiology, 2022
The bacterial SAR324 cluster is ubiquitous and abundant in the ocean, especially around hydrothermal vents and in the deep sea, where it can account for up to 30% of the whole bacterial community.

Potential and expression of carbohydrate utilization by marine fungi in the global ocean

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2021
Background Most of the research on the cycling of carbon in the open-ocean has focused on heterotrophic prokaryotes and eukaryotic phytoplankton, but the role of pelagic fungi remains largely enigmatic.

Genome size variation and polyploidy incidence in the alpine flora from Spain

open access: yesAnales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2013
The interest to study genome evolution, in particular genome size variation and polyploid incidence, has increased in recent years. Still, only a few studies have been focused at a community level.

Bootstrapping outperforms community‐weighted approaches for estimating the shapes of phenotypic distributions

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Estimating phenotypic distributions of populations and communities is central to many questions in ecology and evolution. These distributions can be characterized by their moments (mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis) or diversity metrics (e.g ...

Height and crown allometries and their relationship with functional traits: An example from a subtropical wet forest

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Forest tree communities are largely structured by interactions between phenotypes and their environments. Functional traits have been popularized as providing key insights into plant functional tradeoffs.
