Irrigation Water Treated with Oxygen Nanobubbles Decreases Irrigation Volume While Maintaining Turfgrass Quality in Central Chile

Grasses
The efficient use of water resources is a growing priority in multiple sectors, including the turfgrass industry. Nanobubbles (NB) represent an innovative technology that, by enriching solutions with various gases, offers significant benefits in several ...

Comparative micro‐ornamentation patterns of reptile skin: Phylogeny‐ecology debate and species‐specific variations

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Phylogenetic limitations seem more decisive than life habit in the diversity of reptile skin micro‐ornamentation. The ancestral form possibly had polygonal cells with regular borders, smooth surface and had no ridges. Cell morphology change gradually on a single scale, especially widths at scale base are greater than those at middle.

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

The Impact of Plant Diversity on Carbon Storage Along the Gradient of Altitude in Alpine Grasslands of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Grasses
Plant diversity plays an important role in shaping the carbon cycling of grassland ecosystems. However, differences in the diversity effect on aboveground and belowground carbon storage remains unclear at specific spatiotemporal scales.

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Accounting for Diurnal Variation in Enteric Methane Emissions from Growing Steers Under Grazing Conditions

Grasses
Automated head chamber systems (AHCS) are increasingly deployed to measure enteric emissions in vivo. However, guidance for AHCS-derived emissions data analyses pertains to confined settings, such as feedlots, with less instruction for grazing systems ...

Effects of Dietary Mannan Oligosaccharides on Growth, Disease Resistance, and Gut Microbiota in Zebrafish

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Supplementation with mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) enhances growth, disease resistance, antioxidant capacity, and gut microbiota diversity while suppressing inflammation, apoptosis, and strengthening intestinal barrier integrity in zebrafish challenged with LPS or DSS.

The quality of interaction with children in collective play: Children's agency

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a growing body of studies on increasing the quality of infant–toddler education and care. Yet little attention has been directed towards how to bring toddlers' agency and perspective to their personally meaningful learning in collective play.
