Effects of endozoochory and diploendozoochory by captive wild mammals on Juniperus deppeana seeds
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 We conducted an evaluation of seed dispersal in mammals: gray fox, coati, rabbit, bobcat, and cougar. We found high recovery percentages and retention times of seeds in the digestive tracts. Seeds remained viable and showed an increase in testes thickness.

Pest categorisation of Milviscutulus mangiferae
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Milviscutulus mangiferae (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccidae), the mango shield scale, for the EU. The native range of M. mangiferae is uncertain. This species occurs widely in tropical and warmer subtropical regions throughout the world.

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1678-1696, March 2026.ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.
