Overlooked and misunderstood: A morpho‐molecular revision of Ditrichaceae s.str. (Dicranidae, Bryophyta), with a focus on the Holarctic species of Ditrichum

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 223-259, April 2025.
Abstract We revised the Holarctic taxa of Ditrichaceae on the basis of both organellar DNA sequence data and morphological traits. After the removal of phylogenetically discordant elements related to Flexitrichum and Rhamphidium, the remaining representatives of the family cluster into three well‐supported lineages, which are recognized here as the ...

The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

On farm soil health assessment across seven sub‐tropical cover crop management systems

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract The integration of cover cropping in conventional farming systems has shown positive impacts on soil health enhancement. In Florida, where concerns persist about low productivity in mineral soils and significant carbon loss from organic soils, farmers are increasingly adopting cover crops in their routines.

Nitrogen losses mitigated with maize–legume intercropping in the Yucatan Peninsula

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract In recent years, nitrate leaching and environmental impacts from agriculture have become global issues, due in part to the increased use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in agriculture. In the Yucatan Peninsula, intercropping is a traditional farming practice known as the “Milpa” system (i.e., a traditional farming practice characterized by the ...

Forage vs. Grain Legumes: Contrasting Effects on Soil Organic Carbon Stocks–Evidence From 30 European Field Experiments

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 2, March–April 2025.
ABSTRACT Sustainable land management can play an important role in climate change mitigation by reducing soil organic carbon (SOC) losses or even by sequestering C in soils. This can be achieved through practices that increase C inputs to the soil and/or improve the quality of these inputs, thereby facilitating the removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide

Thermoresponsive Polymers as Viscosity Modifiers: Innovative Nanoarchitectures as Lubricant Additives

open access: yesChemPlusChem, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2025.
We introduce the reader to the tremendous advances in polymer science reflected in the realm of lubrication, and the experimentation of a broad variety of different macromolecular architectures and topologies as viscosity modifiers. Abstract The world of lubricants is driven by the constant pursuit of improved performance in response of the requests of

Behavioural differences and similarities between dog breeds: proposing an ecologically valid approach for canine behavioural research

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 68-84, February 2025.
ABSTRACT The behaviour of dogs holds great relevance for not only scientists from fundamental and applied research areas, but also due to the widespread roles of dogs in our societies as companions and working animals; their behaviour is also an important factor in animal and human welfare.

Nitrogen transformation as affected by decomposition of 15N‐labeled cover crop shoots and roots

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 187, Issue 6, Page 748-765, December 2024.
Abstract Background Incorporation of cover crop (cc) shoot and root biomass can have different effects on nitrogen (N) dynamics and the transformation of soil‐derived N and cc N. Aims The objective was to determine the effects of different ccs, cc compartments (roots and shoots), and pretreatment of cc biomass (fresh vs.

Within‐field variation of crop yield loss from cover crops

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 116, Issue 6, Page 2922-2933, November/December 2024.
Abstract The amount of high‐resolution agricultural data has increased rapidly in the current decade. Integration of satellite multispectral imagery, combine harvester yield monitoring data, and soil moisture mapping allows managing for within‐field variation and better interpreting on‐farm experimentation.
