Polypore communities in broadleaved boreal forests
The cover and extent of boreal broadleaved forests have been decreasing due to modern forest management practices and fire suppression. As decomposers of woody material, polypores are ecologically important ecosystem engineers.

From forest stand decline to salvage logging: Cascading impacts on saproxylic beetle diversity
Given the pronounced context dependency of the processes driving these cascading community dynamics, and considering the increasing frequency, severity and spatial extent of forest disturbances and global stand decline, it is imperative to integrate this complexity into management and conservation frameworks.

Great progress has been made in recent years on taxonomy of brown rot polypores based on phylogenetical evidence, mainly Daeadalea within Fomitopsidaceae. However, the relations within the Fomitopsidaceae family remain unresolved.

ABSTRACT The associations between microbes and planktonic invertebrates in freshwater ecosystems are considered key ecological interactions. However, our understanding of the structure, taxonomic specificity, and environmental drivers of zooplankton microbiomes remains poor.

The transferability of single or joint species distribution models ((j)SDMs) depends on their ability to predict beyond the observed environmental range and to remain consistent despite shifts in biotic interactions. Transfer accuracy may be improved by recent advances in the application of deep learning that provide greater flexibility and potentially

We show that deadwood volume is a reliable, taxon‐specific indicator of the presence of red‐listed bryophytes and fungi but not lichens. By explicitly focusing on threatened species and deriving statistically defined thresholds from managed boreal forests, our study provides empirical benchmarks that go beyond commonly used biodiversity indicators. The

Pachymic acid alleviates non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease via FGF21‐mediated inhibition of the p38 MAPK pathway. Pachymic acid (PAC) exerts anti‐ non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) effects by promoting FGF21 expression, activating FGF21/FGFR1 signaling, and thereby suppressing p38 MAPK phosphorylation. ABSTRACT Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease

Polypore diversity in China with an annotated checklist of Chinese polypores
This report is a comprehensive review of polypore investigations in China up to 2011. Nearly 12,000 polypore specimens have been collected from almost all forest types in China during the past 20 years. After examination of these and other herbarium specimens, 704 polypore species belonging to 132 genera in ten orders were identified, and the majority ...

Fungal Diversity and Potential Health Benefits of Mycophagy in Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus)
Free‐ranging chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in Nature's Valley, South Africa, of multiple age/sex classes eat diverse fungi (10 identified to species level, 3 to genus level). We assess potential nutritional, medicinal and ecosystem implications of consumption of these fungi based on human and other mammalian mycophagy literature.
