Assessing the viability of genebanked seeds from rare, wild plants native to the United States using the D.E.A.D. paradigm

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Genebanks must maintain viable seeds for decades. Seeds that germinate are clearly alive, but some seeds, often from wild populations, do not germinate because they are dormant, empty, aged, or damaged (D.E.A.D.). This work evaluates the effects of D.E.A.D.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

A simple and affordable protocol to assess censer seed dispersal: First confirmation of the mechanism in the genus Solanum

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Afro‐Amerindian cosmopolitics in environmental education: A decolonial analysis of academic discourses involving the epistemological disputes around the term sustainability

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Considering the growing calls for decolonial approaches within the scope of Climate Change and Sustainability Education (CCSE), in this research we seek to understand the meanings which have been put into circulation through research narratives on Environmental Education (EE) concluded in Latin America, regarding Afro‐Amerindian knowledges ...
