Future Habitat Shifts and Economic Implications for Ophiocordyceps sinensis Under Climate Change
Ophiocordyceps sinensis, a key traditional medicine from the Tibetan Plateau, is losing habitat due to overharvesting and climate change. This study shows that China, producing 91.9% of the global supply, will see suitable habitats shift to higher altitudes.

Quantifying the economic cost of invertebrate pests to New Zealand’s pastoral industry
ABSTRACT The invertebrate pests most commonly affecting New Zealand’s pastoral‐based production in ‘average’ years cause losses of between $1.7B and $2.3B p.a. of which up to $0.9B occur on sheep and beef farms and $1.4B on dairy farms. The native scarab grass grub is the most costly pest causing losses of $140–380 M on dairy farms and $75–205 M on ...

Abstract Ecological speciation within the mormyrid genus Campylomormyrus resulted in sympatric species exhibiting divergence in their feeding apparatus and electric organ discharge (EOD). This study documents the overall diet of the genus Campylomormyrus and examines the hypothesis that the Campylomormyrus radiation is caused by adaptation to different
