Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Pollinator risks and recovery from air pollutant interactions during the fossil‐fuel transition

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
By altering the composition and concentration of floral scents, air pollutants such as ozone (O3) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) disrupt the ability of insect pollinators to locate flowers, threatening biodiversity and crop production. We examine the impact of these pollutants on pollinator performance and evaluate the short‐ and long‐term consequences of ...

Metabolite Profiles and Antioxidant Activity of Dendrobium catenatum Under Simulated Wild Cultivation

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Dendrobium catenatum grown under simulated wild cultivation showed significantly higher flavonoids and stilbenes, leading to enhanced antioxidant activity in both leaves and stems compared to facility‐grown plants. Integrated metabolomics, antioxidant assays, and network pharmacology identified Denbinobin as a key multi‐target antioxidant compound ...

Mycorrhizal specificity in endemic Western Australian terrestrial orchids (tribe Diurideae): implications for conservation [PDF]

, 2004
The specificity of fungal isolates from endemic Western Australian orchid species and hybrids in the tribe Diurideae was investigated using symbiotic seed germination and analysis of the fungal DNA by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP).
