Recent progress in genetic transformation of four Pinus spp.
Advances in conifer tissue culture and genetic transformation offer new opportunities in the field of genetic engineering. Genetic transformation is an important tool for breeders because it allows them to introduce valuable genes that might otherwise be difficult to integrate into elite genotypes.

ABSTRACT Flatheaded borers (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) are largely xylophagous insects. Larvae of flatheaded borers tunnel into the trunks of trees, with boring and feeding damage eventually appearing on the surface as discolored bark, sunken areas, bark splits or bark sloughing.

Long‐term effects of clear‐cutting forestry on ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forest
Summary Clear‐cutting is detrimental to ectomycorrhizal fungi in a short time perspective, but long‐term effects on species richness and community composition are uncertain. To evaluate ecological sustainability of rotation forestry, we examined to what extent communities similar to those in old forests develop within the time frame of a rotation ...

We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

During an outbreak of 7 wildfires in eastern Oregon, USA, we analyzed the home range and movement patterns of mule deer and elk before, during, and immediately after wildfires. Mule deer maintained high site fidelity during the wildfire but used their home range more uniformly and had higher daily displacement than deer unaffected by wildfire.

Recent progress in somatic embryogenesis of four Pinus spp.
Advances in conifer biotechnology offer new opportunities in the field of vegetative propagation and genetic engineering. Development of clonal propagation methods, especially somatic embryogenesis (SE), has numerous potential applications. Owing to its efficiency in plant regeneration, coupled with the ease of long-term storage in liquid nitrogen, SE ...

Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...

ABSTRACT Natural ecosystem loss and deterioration in the quality of the urban environment due to rapid urbanization associated with soil pollution by mining activity have become a huge dilemma in the mining city of Lubumbashi (DR Congo). This study aimed to assess the importance attributed to trees through the expected services, species choice and ...
