Abstract Forest ecosystems have been degraded globally and restoration efforts aim to reverse loss of biodiversity and ecosystem function decline including carbon storage from the atmosphere. Assessments of restoration success predominantly emphasize increasing carbon stocks rather than species recovery.

Fuzzy relationships among plant dispersal mechanisms, syndromes, and animal vectors
Abstract Knowledge of which animal clades and dispersal mechanisms contribute to seed dispersal is critical for understanding the ecology and evolution of plant communities. However, a broad understanding is limited by a focus on single clades and mechanisms. Here, we analyzed a Europe‐wide multi‐clade seed dispersal dataset with interactions among 447

Re-evaluating hypertragulid diversity in the John Day basin, Oregon, USA [PDF]
Despite their relative abundance, members of the family Hypertragulidae (Artiodactyla, Mammalia) have proved a conundrum regarding species diversity in the Turtle Cove Member (Oligocene) of the John Day Formation, located in central and eastern Oregon ...

SPROUTS_DB: An Implemented Database of Contaminants for Extracellular Vesicle Proteomics Studies
ABSTRACT Current proteomics techniques allow rapid identification and quantification of proteins within any given biological source. However, LC–MS/MS proteomics is vulnerable to laboratory and sample‐associated contaminants. Therefore, accurate identification and annotation of such contaminants is crucial for development of reliable databases ...

Abstract Pantodonts are an extinct group of herbivorous eutherian mammals. They comprise 8 families and 23 genera, ranging from the early Paleocene to the late Eocene, including Bemalambda, Barylambda, Titanoides, or Pantolambda. In Europe, only one genus is known, Coryphodon, represented by three species: C. eocaenus, C. anthracoideus and C.

Spatial and Seasonal Variation in Avian Dietary Strategies
ABSTRACT Aim Diet is a fundamental aspect of vertebrate life history, shaping survival, recruitment, and fitness. While spatial variation in avian dietary characteristics has been studied, seasonal dynamics at species and assemblage levels remain largely unexplored, hindering our understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes.

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)
Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.
