Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Floral traits and hermaphrodite abundance shape female advantage in a gynodioecious plant
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Gynodioecy is maintained through female advantage in seed fitness that depends on the sex ratio of a population. We hypothesized that females of Silene acaulis would exhibit floral traits associated with elevated outcross pollination and that sex ratio would impact pollen limitation and inbreeding depression such that female advantage ...

Preserving morphology while extracting DNA: a non-destructive field-to-museum protocol for slide-mounted specimens [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalOur study aimed to develop an optimised laboratory protocol ensuring the preservation of morphological structures and extraction of high-quality DNA sequences from Psychodidae (Insecta, Diptera) specimens. With 310 analysed specimens, we investigated the

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Based on the 90 datasets, ERT and four optimization algorithms were used to build four hybrid models to predict the UCS of the backfill body. The SMA‐ERT model was the most effective model, and it can reliably guide the design of the backfill ratio parameters. Abstract This study analyzed the feasibility of using titanium (Ti) tailings as a backfilling

New and little known species of moth flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Psychodinae) from Nicaragua
Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae, 2021 The male of a new species Arisemus venustus sp. n. from Nicaragua, the Cerro Musun Natural Reserve, is described. A. atrasetus (Rapp, 1945) and Platyplastinx tango Quate et Brown, 2004 (Diptera: Psychodidae: Psychodinae) from Nicaragua are redescribed and illustrated on the basis of male morphological characters.
