Dietary Profile of Rhinopithecus bieti and Its Socioecological Implications [PDF]

, 2018
To enhance our understanding of dietary adaptations and socioecological correlates in colobines, we conducted a 20-mo study of a wild group of Rhinopithecus bieti (Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys) in the montane Samage Forest.

Relationship Between Plant Diversity and Soil Environment in Karst Urban Remnant Mountains: A Comparative Analysis of Two Types

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The transformation of karst urban remnant mountains into mountain parks had not only simplified the composition of plant species and reduced biodiversity, but also changed the characteristics of soil environmental factors and their distribution pattern with plant diversity, thus reshaping their mutual relationship.

Differentiated response mechanisms of soil microbial communities to nitrogen deposition driven by tree species variations in subtropical planted forests

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionThe increasing rate of atmospheric nitrogen deposition has severely affected the structure and function of these ecosystems. Although nitrogen deposition is increasing globally, the responses of soil microbial communities in subtropical ...

Applications of machine learning in pine nuts classification

Scientific Reports, 2022
Pine nuts are not only the important agent of pine reproduction and afforestation, but also the commonly consumed nut with high nutritive values. However, it is difficult to distinguish among pine nuts due to the morphological similarity among species ...

Pathogenesis mechanism of Pestalotiopsis funerea toxin (Pf-toxin) on the plasmalemma of needle cells of different pine species [PDF]

, 2014
The Pf-toxin (C5H11O5N) has been genetically associated with the pathogenesis mechanism in plasmalemma cells of pine needles in previous reports. In this study, a toxin was obtained from Pestalotiopsis funerea (called Pf- toxin) by concentrating and ...

Asian Summer Monsoon and Orographic Winds Change the Pollen Flow in the Hengduan Mountains, Southwestern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 4, 28 February 2025.
Abstract Unlike plains, mountains provide diverse habitats for various biomes due to complex topography and large altitudinal differences. It is crucial for objectively reconstructing deep‐time biodiversity changes that the pollen source, dispersal, and driving forces in montane ecosystems are studied.

Convergent Patterns of Karyotype Evolution Underlying Karyotype Uniformity in Conifers

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 7, February 17, 2025.
The remarkable karyotype uniformity observed in gymnosperms has long posed an evolutionary puzzle. This study proposes a model of karyotype evolution in gymnosperms, highlighting the rarity of both polyploidy and dysploidy as key factors underlying this uniformity.

Fighting their last stand? A global analysis of the distribution and conservation status of gymnosperms [PDF]

, 2015
Aim: Gymnosperms are often described as a marginal and threatened group, members of which tend to be out-competed by angiosperms and which therefore preferentially persist at higher latitudes and elevations.
