The Possible Biotechnological Use of Edible Mushroom Bioproducts for Controlling Plant and Animal Parasitic Nematodes. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2020 The present paper reviewed publications on the nematocidal activity of edible mushrooms (EM) and their potential use as sustainable tools for the control of parasitic nematodes affecting agriculture and livestock industry. Nematodes are organisms living in the soil and animals’ guts where they may live as parasites severely affecting economically ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022 This study analyzed the 4 years continuous field bird survery to unravel the effects of spatial fragmentation on the elevational distribution of bird diversity. Human disturbance and landscape diversity play a vital role in the pattern of bird diversity in Mount Tai, which emphasize the need for the management of artifical habitats .

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Hurricanes alter forest habitat by opening the canopy and depositing fresh wood and leaves. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of hurricane and drought‐driven changes to forests on green litter decomposition, invertebrate communities, and nutrient mineralization over a short period (6 months) after disturbance.

Ecological Monographs, Volume 92, Issue 2, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Climate change exposes ecosystems to strong and rapid changes in their environmental boundary conditions mainly due to the altered temperature and precipitation patterns. It is still poorly understood how fast interlinked ecosystem processes respond to altered environmental conditions, if these responses occur gradually or suddenly when ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 30, Issue 10, Page 2084-2100, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim Knowledge concerning species distribution is important for biodiversity conservation and environmental management. Fungi form a large and diverse group of species and play a key role in nutrient cycling and carbon storage. However, our understanding of fungal diversity and distribution remains limited, particularly at large spatial scales.

Protein Coding Low-Copy <i>rpb2</i> and <i>ef1-α</i> Regions Are Viable Fungal Metabarcoding DNA Markers Which Can Supplement ITS for Better Accuracy. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe study uses prepared mock communities of three unrelated basidiomycete lineages, each containing carefully selected closely related species. Performance of the generally used fungal barcoding region ITS nrDNA is compared with two low‐copy protein coding regions (rpb2 and tef1a).
