Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...

Leaf longevity and structure, fruit mass and phenology in 52 cultivated varieties and wild accessions of olive

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

Morphological and genetic perspectives of hybridization in two contact zones of closely related species of Petunia (Solanaceae) in southern Brazil

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica
Interspecific hybridization has several consequences for parental species, from blurring species limits to the emergence of new taxa. Petunia axillaris and P.

Interspecific hybridization between Cajanus cajan and Cajanus cajanifolius [PDF]

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2007
Interspecific hybridization between five Canajus cajan genotypes viz., ICPL 87, CORG 9302, CORG 5, TAT 93-47 and AS 46 and the wild species C. cajanifolius was attempted. Successful pod set was observed in direct crosses involvingC. cajan as ovule parent

The chromosome segregation in a created Musa interspecific tetraploid (AAAB) hybrid can lead to eBSV elimination. [P.51] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Banana cultivars (including plantain) are derived from natural hybridization between wild diploid Musa species and subspecies. The main species involved are Musa acuminata (A genome) that is encountered in all banana cultivars, and M.

Bergmann's rule: Why does body size increase with latitude?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bergmann's rule describes the tendency for endothermic body size to increase with latitude, a pattern often attributed to climatic factors. However, the underlying developmental and evolutionary mechanisms remain debated.

And then there was us Et puis nous sommes apparus

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In 1987, the academic conference ‘Origins and Dispersals of Modern Humans: Behavioural and Biological Perspectives’ was held in Cambridge, UK. Subsequently referred to as the ‘Human Revolution’ conference, this meeting brought together the most prominent academics working in the field of human origins, including archaeologists and palaeoanthropologists,

New cybrids resulting from asexual pathway: a promise of the cybridization for creating new citrus rootstocks and cultivars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cybridization should be a way to induce phenotypical variations in highly heterozygous secondary citrus species or genotypes, without breaking their very complex multilocus structure by sexual recombination.
