Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.Mediterranean Europe is facing significant pressures from agricultural intensification. The European Union (EU) Natura2000 network (N2K) seeks to mitigate habitat loss and fragmentation, but its effectiveness needs to be enhanced through Green Infrastructure (GI) to improve coherence between N2K patches.

The Evolution of Functional Amyloids and Their Impact on Host–Microbe Interactions
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 38, October 13, 2025.This review describes functional amyloids and highlights the importance of structural repetition and molecular mimicry that distinguish the amyloid fold. The authors describe how amyloid can be the last universal common ancestor of protein folds. The authors also discuss how microbes utilize functional amyloids and how the structural characteristics of

Spatio-Temporal Changes and Fragmentation Patterns of Sinharaja Forest Peripheral Area Using Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis [PDF]
Forest fragmentation is a landscape process that significantly impacts the spatial structure and ecological dynamics of natural ecosystems. As human populations continue to grow, this phenomenon has emerged as a pressing challenge.

Resolving the contrasting leaf hydraulic adaptation of C3 and C4 grasses
New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1924-1939, March 2025.Summary Grasses are exceptionally productive, yet their hydraulic adaptation is paradoxical. Among C3 grasses, a high photosynthetic rate (Aarea) may depend on higher vein density (Dv) and hydraulic conductance (Kleaf). However, the higher Dv of C4 grasses suggests a hydraulic surplus, given their reduced need for high Kleaf resulting from lower ...

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract Forest patches in urban landscapes make outsized contributions to biodiversity, ecosystem function, and human health and well‐being. However, urbanization can alter environmental conditions that underpin forest health. Most studies of forest health in urban landscapes have focused on few forest patches across a single metropolitan region, and ...

Landscape dynamics of Paspalum quadrifarium grasslands analyzed by Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA) [PDF]
, 2018 Background. Despite its wide distribution worldwide, only 4.6% of temperate grasslands are includedwithin systems of protected areas. In Argentina, this situation is even more alarming: only 1.05% isprotected. The study area (central area of the southern

The genetic consequences of population marginality: A case study in maritime pine
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 10, October 2024.Abstract Aim Marginal tree populations, either those located at the edges of the species' range or in suboptimal environments, are often a valuable genetic resource for biological conservation. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the genetic consequences of population marginality, estimated across entire species' ranges.
