MFPD: A Multiple Fungal Pathogen Detection Pipeline Across Diverse Habitats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The MFPD pipeline integrates a comprehensive ITS reference database of fungal pathogens, optimized parameters, and algorithms tailored for both full‐length and subregion sequences that balance accuracy and computational efficiency; it enables high‐throughput, species‐level identification from amplicon sequencing data, supporting large‐scale ...

The effect of habitat fragmentation on Malay tapir abundances in Thailand’s protected areas

Global Ecology and Conservation
Habitat loss and fragmentation in tropical regions are major threats to the persistence of endangered Malay tapir (Tapirus indicus). The Malay tapir distribution is largely constrained to fragmented habitats inside protected areas. However, it is unclear

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Complex Measures of Habitat Fragmentation and Edge Can Complicate Biodiversity Conservation

Conservation Letters
Understanding habitat fragmentation effects on wildlife is critical to promoting effective conservation practices. There are many metrics of habitat fragmentation, from simple (number of habitat patches) to complex metrics designed to summarize many ...

The use of fynbos fragments by birds: Stepping-stone habitats and resource refugia

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2016
Fynbos habitats are threatened by fragmentation through land use and anthropogenic changes in fire regimes, leading to a loss of suitable habitat for birds.

Optimal resource allocation to survival and reproduction in parasitic wasps foraging in fragmented habitats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Expansion and intensification of human land use represents the major cause of habitat fragmentation. Such fragmentation can have dramatic consequences on species richness and trophic interactions within food webs.

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Positive effects of fragmentation per se on the most iconic metapopulation

Conservation Letters
While habitat loss is a major threat to species, the effects of habitat fragmentation independent of habitat loss (fragmentation per se) are debated.

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the context of rising DOC in aquatic environments, mixotrophic duckweed may impact carbon cycling by acting as either a carbon sink, as they absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, or a carbon source, as they release CO2 through respiration of absorbed DOC, which depends on DOC concentration, light availability, temperature, and other environmental ...
