Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Drivers of insect herbivory resistance and tolerance to plant damage in the Brachypodium distachyon species complex

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

Shaped by context: Evolutionary trajectories of desiccation tolerance in land plants

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Desiccation tolerance (DT), the ability to survive near‐complete cellular dehydration, is widespread in diaspores but rare in the vegetative tissues of land plants. The patchy and punctuated phylogenetic distribution of vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) suggests that the trait is both ancient and recurrent, yet the evolutionary ...

Construction of pathogenic Sec16a mutation mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Yaqiang Hu et al. engineered a pathogenic Sec16a mutant mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. They observed that the Sec16a mutant mice displayed diminished learning and memory capabilities, along with a limb‐clasping phenotype upon tail suspension.

Analysis of two decades of Landsat satellite images reveals long-term changes in aquatic and terrestrial vegetation in Bimini, The Bahamas with coastal development

FACETS
Tropical coastal ecosystems are often characterized by vegetated marine habitats, including mangroves and seagrass beds. Over past decades, these habitats have been impacted by coastal development resulting in vegetation losses with consequences for ...
