Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

In vitro propagation of Caesalpinia spinosa (Mol.) O. Kuntz from axillary buds of selected trees

Biotecnología Vegetal, 2017
Guarango or tara [Caesalpinia spinosa (Mol.) O. Kuntz] is a tree native to the Andes, with great economic importance and for reforestation programs. The aim of this work was to in vitro propagate this specie from axillary buds of selected trees.

Bioinspired Copper Sites for the Transformations of Greenhouse Gases Like Methane and Nitrous Oxide

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This review highlights the bioinspired catalytic systems containing copper sites that facilitate the conversions of methane and nitrous oxide to methanol and nitrogen, respectively. ABSTRACT The quest for benign catalysts for environmental remediation under ambient conditions for a sustainable future is fueling contemporary research.

Nutrient composition and heavy metal accumulation in water hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms] and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) from the Dande River, Nepal: Implications for use as alternative feed resources

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The proliferation of invasive aquatic macrophytes poses a significant ecological challenge globally, while many tropical regions face chronic shortages of affordable livestock feed. This study addresses this dual problem by assessing two invasive species, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes ...

No clinical and functional benefit after medial congruent compared to ultra congruent total knee arthroplasty at 1 year: A prospective randomized controlled study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Various conforming bearing designs are used during total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet their impact on clinical outcomes remains uncertain. In recent years, the use of medial congruent (MC) and ultra congruent (UC) onlays has gained popularity.

Quantification of 10B and 11B in Biological Samples in Translational Science and Clinical Applications for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a targeted radiotherapy that exploits the selective accumulation of the 10B isotope within tumors, followed by irradiation with low‐energy neutrons to induce high linear energy transfer particles with short path lengths, resulting in localized tumor cell destruction while sparing surrounding healthy ...

T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.
