Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The conservation of pollinators is essential for sustaining the ecosystem services of pollen transfer, which support crop production, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.

But does it taste good? A plea to consider the importance of flavor in managing plant genetic resources

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop genetic resources, particularly seeds held in ex situ germplasm collections, have enormous value in breeding climate‐resilient crops. Much of this value accrues from information associated with germplasm accessions. Here, we argue that flavor, culinary attributes, and other traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) are important characteristics ...

Verification of two barracudina species Lestrolepis japonica (Tanaka, 1908) and L. philippina (Fowler, 1934) (Aulopiformes, Paralepididae) [PDF]

ZooKeys
Examination of the type series of Lestidium japonica Tanaka reveals that the generally accepted concept of this species does not accord with the type series. A historical review of the literature showed that the characterization of L.

Altered Glycosylation of PSA in Prostate Cancer Tissue

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The glycosylation of proteins is commonly altered in cancer. This offers novel opportunities for cancer biomarker development. As prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein, identification of cancer‐specific PSA‐glycoforms is feasible. Such PSA‐glycoforms may provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic information. Methods PSA‐
