Intraspecific variation in fine-root traits is larger than in aboveground traits in European herbaceous species regardless of drought

Frontiers in Plant Science
Differences within species (Intraspecific trait variation - ITV) contribute substantially to overall trait variability and environmental harshness can reduce among-species variation.

Embryonic Development in Two High‐Elevation Oviparous Lizard Species: Contrasting Strategies for Coping With Cold Climates

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to local climates is crucial for predicting their responses to climate change. The cold climate of high elevations constitutes a physiological challenge for reptiles, especially during the embryonic stages of oviparous species, because embryos have limited ability to thermoregulate behaviorally. To examine how

Dynamics of Size and Shape Variation During Embryonic Development in the Balkan Crested Newt

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Morphological variance in Triturus ivanbureschi embryos fluctuates during the tailbud phase, coinciding with developmental arrest caused by the balanced lethal system. Prehatching embryos show uniform variance. Our study reveals dynamics of morphological variability during early development and provides a baseline for further studies.

Testing for Burden in a Macroevolutionary System

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Evolutionary changes in the fundamental components of the bivalve body plan are not restricted to the early part of their evolutionary history. ABSTRACT The traits defining organismal body plans are expected to acquire burden, approaching invariance as they accumulate characters that depend on them, developmentally and functionally.

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Agronomic and nutritional performance of lentil–hull‐less barley mixtures under temperate Swiss conditions: protein content, protein yield stability, β‐glucan content and separation ability

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Intercropping of legumes with cereals enhances resilience, resource efficiency, and nutritional quality in food systems, yet few studies have integrated yield stability with grain quantity and post‐harvest processability. Lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.) and hull‐less barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var.

Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...
