New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 1567-1582, May 2025.Summary Seeds are a key pathway for plant population recovery following disturbance. To prevent germination during unsuitable conditions, most species produce dormant seeds. In fire‐prone regions, physical dormancy (PY) enables seeds to germinate after fire. The pyro‐thermal niche, incorporating temperature effects into seed dormancy and mortality, has

Phylogenetic diversity and biodiversity indices on phylogenetic networks
, 2018 In biodiversity conservation it is often necessary to prioritize the species to conserve. Existing approaches to prioritization, e.g. the Fair Proportion Index and the Shapley Value, are based on phylogenetic trees and rank species according to their ...

Sex‐Specific Ultraviolet Radiation Tolerance Across Drosophila
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.This study investigates the genetic basis of phenotypic differences between two species of Drosophila, D. santomea and D. yakuba, focusing on their adaptation to UV tolerance and stress. Genomic and empirical evidence shows that island populations of D.

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract Mediterranean landscapes were drastically affected by high levels of abandonment of agricultural and other land practices during the last century. These changes in land use can have significant effects on diversity patterns by altering disturbance and competition equilibria within plant communities at the landscape level.

Environmental conditions do not predict diversification rates in the Bantu languages [PDF]
, 2019 The global distribution of language diversity mirrors that of several variables related to ecosystem productivity. It has been argued that this is driven by the size of social networks, which tend to be larger in harsher climates to ensure food security,

Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 5, May 2024.Our goal was to interrogate the idea that “mountain passes are higher in the tropics” by investigating ecological and biogeographic drivers of elevational range‐sizes patterns among equatorial flora. We used herbarium records for 60 species‐rich plant families, representing 18 535 species total, to estimate distributions over a 4500 m elevational ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 974-1000, April 2024.Abstract Our knowledge of the diversity and evolution of South American Triassic pseudosuchians has greatly improved in the past 15 years, due to new discoveries, but also to the revision of several historically important specimens. One of the earliest descriptions of pseudosuchians from the Triassic of Brazil stems from the classic work of Huene from ...

Molecular Characterization of a Poly-β-Hydroxybutyrate-Producing Microbacterium Isolate
, 2015 Bacterial poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural, biodegradable polymer, which is accumulated in the cells as an energy reserve materialdue to depletion of nitrogen or phosphorous in the presence of excess carbon source.
