Dietary and Ranging Behavior of Semi‐Free Ranging Lemur catta and Varecia rubra at Myakka City Lemur Reserve, Florida, USA

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...

Transcriptomic stress responses in Vaccinium spp. F1 hybrids: Implications for temperature‐resilient cranberry breeding using a crop wild relative

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1715-1732, September 2026.
Climate extremes threaten the sustainability of cranberry production, a culturally and economically important North American crop. This study demonstrates that wild cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) harbor genetic variation that may enhance cold stress resilience when introduced into cultivated cranberry through hybridization.

Genetic insights into bacterial wilt resistance using genomic prediction and association mapping in blueberry

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia spp., poses a major threat to blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) production due to its persistence and rapid spread through soil and infected stock, highlighting the need for genetic insights to guide breeding strategies. This study investigated the genetic basis of bacterial wilt resistance in blueberry using
