PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) as predators of conifer seeds
Folia Oecologica, 2019 Many species of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are important predators of seeds. While the consumption of herb seeds has been intensively studied, little attention has been paid to the consumption of seeds of gymnosperm plants.

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman
Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

Radial variation of tracheid features, specic gravity and growth rings in Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze planted in Cunha-SP. Variação radial das características das traqueídes, densidade aparente e anéis de crescimento em Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze plantadas em Cunha-SP. [PDF]
Revista do Instituto Florestal, 2015 We investigated wood features along growth rings of Araucaria angustifolia trees planted between November and December of 1980 in Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar in Cunha, State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few mycorrhizal trait frameworks, but without an empirical classification of ET functional diversity and environmental preferences, understanding and ...

Development of a Target Enrichment Probe Set for Conifer (REMcon)
BiologyConifers are an ecologically and economically important seed plant group that can provide significant insights into the evolution of land plants. Molecular phylogenetics has developed as an important approach in evolutionary studies, although there have ...

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...
