Dietary Variability Among Mountain Gorilla Groups Across Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

Ecology and Evolution
Gaining a more complete understanding of a species' dietary variability is crucial to properly discern distribution, population growth trends, and conservation actions.

Determinants of habitat use by fish and crustaceans in mangroves: using habitat characteristics to predict communities

, 2020
Healthy mangroves are important for the provisioning of ecosystem goods and services that contribute to human wellbeing. Productive fisheries have been associated with healthy mangrove forests which function as nursery habitats for juvenile reef species.

Incomplete climate‐driven peripatric speciation in Moehringia sect. Moehringia (Caryophyllaceae) in the European Alps

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The origin of endemic species in the European Alps is commonly attributed to the climatic oscillations of the Quaternary. Moehringia sect. Moehringia, with 12 of 15 species endemic to the Alps and mostly restricted to well‐known glacial refugia, is a prime system for investigating the diversification of a lineage originating in the ...

Predictive modeling of spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) resting habitat in the main Hawaiian Islands [PDF]

, 2012
Predictive habitat models can provide critical information that is necessary in many conservation applications. Using Maximum Entropy modeling, we characterized habitat relationships and generated spatial predictions of spinner dolphin (Stenella ...

Austrocedrus from the Late Cretaceous of Antarctica and its implications for the early evolution of southern cypresses (Callitroideae, Cupressaceae)

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The modern distribution of the southern cypresses, Callitroideae (Cupressaceae), reflects a classic Gondwanan distribution. The initial diversification of Callitroideae is estimated to have occurred during the Cretaceous, yet fossils from this period are rare, hampering our understanding of its early evolutionary history.

Hydraulic function of medullary bundles in a tropical root climber

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Medullary bundles, which are vascular bundles in the pith, have evolved multiple times. However, their functional significance remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated how medullary bundles are involved in the vascular architecture and hydraulic function in a tropical root climber, Adelobotrys scandens (Melastomataceae) to ...

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.
