Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

Hand pollination to increase seed-set of red helleborine Cephalanthera rubra in the Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire, England [PDF]

, 2007
In 2007 and in previous years, as part of ongoing attempts to improve red helleborine Cephalanthera rubra seed-set, hand pollination of florets has been undertaken at a small colony of this species in Buckinghamshire, southern England.

Effects of Nitrogen Fertilization on Monoterpenes of Jack Pine Seedlings and Weight Gain of Jack Pine Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Nine-month old jack pine (Pinus banksiana) seedlings were grown in a greenhouse under four nitrogen fertilization regimes. Levels of total nitrogen and five monoterpenes in new foliage were measured. Fertilization resulted in four significantly different

Vegetation type mediates how urbanization reshapes the structure, function, and spatial variation of soil food webs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization represents one of the major anthropogenic alterations of the Earth's surface, with significant impacts on biodiversity and its functions. Soil animals are essential components of biodiversity, and their trophic interactions play integral roles in the ...

Size variation of an herbivorous insect affects host plant damage: Mechanisms behind the effect

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific trait variation can strengthen or weaken species interactions in ecological communities. A mechanistic understanding of how intraspecific variation affects species interactions will help identify general rules about when intraspecific variation strengthens

Elevation reverses the effects of forest structure on folivory and leaf asymmetry

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Centuries of timber production have homogenized many forests by reducing variation in canopy density and deadwood availability, with far‐reaching consequences for biodiversity and trophic interactions.

Intra- and interspecific diversity in a tropical plant clade alter herbivory and ecosystem resilience

eLife
Declines in biodiversity generated by anthropogenic stressors at both species and population levels can alter emergent processes instrumental to ecosystem function and resilience.

The novel and taxonomically restricted Ah24 gene from grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) has a dual role in development and defense

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Grain amaranths tolerate stress and produce highly nutritious seeds. We have identified several (a)biotic stress-responsive genes of unknown function in Amaranthus hypochondriacus, including the so-called Ah24 gene.

Species‐specific scents, targeted enemies: Volatile cues mediate predator attraction in willows

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to herbivory. Such signals mediate plant interactions with herbivores and their natural enemies. Different herbivores can elicit distinct responses in plants, influencing predator attraction.
