ABSTRACT Members of the family Dipterocarpaceae are ecologically and economically important timber trees, many of which are threatened with extinction. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form critical symbiotic associations with this family; however, their diversity and composition in tropical urban environments remain inadequately documented.

ABSTRACT Melanistic lesions, including non‐raised black areas due to proliferations of melanocytes and melanomacrophages in the dermis and epidermis, as well as raised black areas consistent with melanoma, are described in brown bullhead (BBH) Ameiurus nebulosus from three water bodies in the northeastern United States and Quebec, Canada.

A genome analysis revealed the presence of many bacterial‐type terpene synthases in springtails. Four enzymes from Sinella curviseta were functionally characterised, resulting in the isolation of several compounds including sinellene ether, the first diterpene ether identified from a terpene synthase that represents a novel skeleton.

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Application of close‐kin mark–recapture to an American black bear population using harvest samples
Abstract Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) offers a promising alternative to traditional mark–recapture methods for estimating wildlife population parameters. CKMR estimates demographic parameters by identifying genetic relationships between individuals, effectively “recapturing” parental genotypes through their offspring's genetic profiles.

Sex‐Biased Interactions Between Spur‐Thighed Tortoises (Testudo graeca) and Hindgut Nematodes
Tortoise (Testudo graeca) responses to nematode infestation are clearly sex‐biased, where females seem more resilient to nematode infestation than males. These findings emphasizes the need for sex‐directed conservation approaches in tortoises. ABSTRACT The nature of endosymbiont interactions is driven by different ecological and evolutionary processes.

We examined the effects of seed traits, seed abundance and seasonality on rodent‐mediated seed predation and dispersal of three sympatric oaks in the Qinling Mountains, China. Rodents consistently preferred Quercus variabilis seeds for caching, while Quercus glandulifera seeds were mostly consumed in situ.

Climatic rainfall regime shapes energy flow, trophic structure, and secondary production in streams
Abstract Changes in precipitation patterns linked to climate change have profound implications for the structuring and functioning of riverine ecosystems. This study investigates how rainfall influences secondary production by examining nine rivers across a sharp natural rainfall gradient over 3 years.

Physical controls dominate stream metabolism and carbon cycling over nutrients and stoichiometry
Abstract Streams process and transport vast carbon quantities along the aquatic continuum. The balance between processing and downstream export is governed by metabolism, which in turn is regulated by distinct physicochemical controls that vary through space and time.
