Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

Insect Science, EarlyView.The role of 3 mitochondrial complex I gene in host expansion of Bactrocera tau was verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. A stable homogenous strain (Btndufa7‐/‐) of B.tau was established after silencing Ndufa7. The reduced size of larvae and pupae of Ndufa7 knockout strain was first found.Then different levels of fitness and relative expression ...
