Phylogenetic relatedness can influence cover crop-based weed suppression [PDF]
Cover crops are plants grown to provide regulating, supporting, and cultural ecosystem services in managed environments. In agricultural systems, weed suppression services from cover crops can be an important tool to promote sustainability as reliance on

Patterns of phylogenetic relatedness of non-native plants across the introduction–naturalization–invasion continuum in China [PDF]
Human activities have caused the exchange of species among different parts of the world. When introduced species become naturalized and invasive, they may cause great negative impacts on the environment and human societies, and pose significant threats ...

Phylogenetic relatedness and habitat affect seedling abundance of a mid-montane humid evergreen broad-leaved forest in the Gaoligong Mountains, Southwestern China [PDF]
The neighborhood effect has become an important framework with which to study the mechanisms that maintain the coexistence of tree species. Phylogenetic relatedness among neighboring plants directly affects species coexistence and the maintenance of tree

Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relatedness of Plasmodium ovale curtisi and Plasmodium ovale wallikeri in sub-Saharan Africa [PDF]
P. ovale was until recently thought to be a single unique species. However, the deployment of more sensitive tools has led to increased diagnostic sensitivity, including new evidence supporting the presence of two sympatric species: P. ovale curtisi (Poc)

Seasonal Variation of the Effects of Phylogenetic Relatedness and Functional Similarity Among Heterospecific Neighbors and Habitat on Seedling Survival in a Subtropical Forest in Gaoligong Mountains, Southwest China [PDF]
Understanding the mechanisms of species coexistence is a long‐standing goal in community ecology. The performance of woody seedlings across different ecological niches has been proposed as a key mechanism in community assembly.

Species invasion and phylogenetic relatedness of vascular plants on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the roof of the world [PDF]
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is the highest and one of the most extensive plateaus in the world. Investigating naturalized non-native plant species composition, phylogenetic relationships among naturalized plant species, and phylogenetic relationships

Phylogenetic Relatedness Among Plasmids Harbored by Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli Isolated From Retail Meats [PDF]
Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are two of the major causes of foodborne illness. In this study, 29 plasmids isolated from 20 retail meat isolates of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli were fully-sequenced individually or as a part ...

Phylogenetic patterns of colonization and extinction in experimentally assembled plant communities. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Evolutionary history has provided insights into the assembly and functioning of plant communities, yet patterns of phylogenetic community structure have largely been based on non-dynamic observations of natural communities.
