American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Urbanization exerts substantial pressures on the genetic diversity of plant species, but the direction and magnitude of urbanization impacts may vary depending on species‐specific life history characteristics. To better understand the relationship between life history and urbanization effects, we assessed genetic diversity and ...

The selective utilisation of Rhizophora mangle habitat by juvenile reef fish [PDF]
Recognised as 'Essential Fish Habitat', red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) has received much attention in recent years to assess its nursery function. Research suggests that mangrove habitat contributes significantly to coral reef fish populations. Not all

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Saponification is a key step for recovering the unsaponifiable fraction (USF) of lipids, which contains bioactive sterols, tocopherols, and carotenoids. This study optimized direct saponification conditions (50–300 g L−1 KOH; 60°C–100°C) to recover sterol‐rich USFs from the microalga Isochrysis galbana and the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum,

Habitat of Galápagos sperm whales: A cultural perspective and implications for conservation
, 2017 Habitat models elucidate species-environment relationships and inform conservation. But the influence of environmental variables on habitat use is scale-dependent and influenced by behaviour.

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Global herbarium digitization has produced over 50 million specimen images, many of which contain handwritten or printed labels with rich metadata such as species names, collection dates, localities, and ecological notes. Manual transcription of this information is labor intensive, error prone, and not scalable, which has motivated the ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.
