Deciphering the miRNA transcriptome of granulosa cells from dominant and subordinate follicles at first follicular wave in goat

Animal Biotechnology
In goats, most follicles in the ovaries will be atresia and only a few dominant follicles (DFs) may eventually mature and ovulate at a follicular wave. To investigate the potential microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate the expression of genes associated with ...

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

From spore to gametophyte: Investigating morphological dynamics of hyaline cells and corresponding gene expression patterns in Sphagnum

BMC Plant Biology
Background Peatlands play a vital role in mitigating climate change and maintaining global ecological balance. At the core of these ecosystems are Sphagnum mosses, which rely on their hyaline cells—specialized structures with exceptional water retention ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Multidimensional β-diversity responses to global change: a meta-analysis highlighting divergent effects on plant communities

Nature Communications
In the Anthropocene, global change is reshaping biological communities, potentially leading to widespread biotic homogenization—a worrying erosion of biological distinctiveness.

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Mountain Biodiversity Is Central to Sustainable Development in Mountains and Beyond

One Earth, 2020
Rich biological diversity in mountains provides ample benefits to people locally and beyond. However, mountain biodiversity is decreasing rapidly, often as a result of geographically distant demands. We can achieve the transition to sustainable development only by accounting for the drivers and benefits of mountain biodiversity from a local to global ...

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part I Reproducibility of diet inference using different instruments

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.
