Frequency of arboreality is correlated with longer hand skeletons in Gorilla: Analysis of a new skeletal sample of Bwindi mountain gorillas

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

Novel Hydrurus species (Chrysophyceae) and their adaptations to high‐altitude European and Arctic snowfields

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Colored snow caused by green algae (Chlorophyceae) is well known, but melting snowpacks can also harbor golden‐brown blooms consisting of Chrysophyceae. We collected 14 samples of cryoflora in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the High Tatras in Slovakia, and in Arctic Svalbard. Eight laboratory unicellular flagellated strains were established from

Dominance and toxicity without lethality: Exploring biomass, cyanometabolites, and Daphnia responses across Cyanobacterial strains

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacteria are cosmopolitan, important components of biomass with a remarkable ability to synthesize a diverse array of bioactive compounds, some of which may have toxic effects on other organisms and ecosystems. In this study, filamentous cyanobacterial strains isolated predominantly from temperate European freshwaters (Aphanizomenon ...

Afforestation priority for multiple objectives at national scale: Italy as a case study

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address climate change and ecological degradation, offering multiple ecosystem services. However, strategic planning is needed to ensure that afforestation actions are ecologically effective and economically efficient by targeting areas where ecosystem service provision

Integrating herbicide application and seeding techniques to restore native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass‐dominated rangelands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)‐dominated rangelands is a persistent challenge in ecological restoration across western North America. Dense, long‐lived stands of this exotic grass suppress native seedling recruitment, hinder habitat restoration, and reduce ecosystem resilience ...
