The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Creation of new intergeneric and interspecific somatic hybrids: An objective of the 6th PCRD european project 'CIBEWU' to face the mediterranean citrus rootstock challenge : [P2] [PDF]

, 2008
The predominance of sour orange rootstock in the Southern and Eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin is presently threatened by the spread of Citrus Tristeza Virus (CfV) and the dispersion of its main vector Toxoptera citricida.

Transgressivity in Key Functional Traits Rather Than Phenotypic Plasticity Promotes Stress Tolerance in A Hybrid Cordgrass [PDF]

, 2019
Hybridization might promote offspring fitness via a greater tolerance to environmental stressors due to heterosis and higher levels of phenotypic plasticity.

Biosynthesis gene cluster‐containing species drive microbial community stability under thermal stress through enhanced ecological cohesion

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
The study framework for exploring microbial community assembly and community stability of biosynthesis gene cluster (BGC)‐containing species under thermal stress (20°C–65°C) during 39 days of spontaneous fermentation. Temperature gradients during spontaneous fermentation reshape microbial community assembly, driving pronounced succession in both ...

Wheat-barley hybridization – the last forty years [PDF]

, 2013
Several useful alien gene transfers have been reported from related species into wheat (Triticum aestivum), but very few publications have dealt with the development of wheat/barley (Hordeum vulgare) introgression lines. An overview is given here of

Mulching Increases Water Use Efficiency, Production and Profitability in Forage Cactus–Maize Intercropping Systems

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the growth, forage production, soil water balance, water indices, biological efficiency and competitive capacity of forage cactus and maize in monoculture and intercropping, with or without mulch. The experiment was conducted in Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, Brazil, using the cactus clone ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ (OEM ...

Efficient haploid production on 'Wilking' mandarin by induced gynogenesis [PDF]

, 2015
Seedlessness is a major criterion for the citrus fresh fruit market. Therefore, triploid breeding appears very promising for the selection of new citrus cultivars.
