Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?
We investigated little‐studied feral horses in west‐central British Columbia, Canada, as a potential competitor for native moose and mule deer. We did not find strong evidence that feral horses exclude moose or deer from habitat or resources at a large landscape scale or smaller spatiotemporal patch scale.

Propolis from Scandinavia and Australia was chemically characterized using 1H NMR spectroscopy and multivariate modeling. Recursive partial least squares revealed spectral features associated with radical scavenging activity, and STOCSY enabled identification of the key phenolic compounds underlying these bioactive features. ABSTRACT Propolis from Apis

Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...

Longevity in plants impacts phylogenetic and population dynamics
Summary Phylogenies of long‐lived plants often exhibit short molecular branch lengths and high levels of gene‐tree conflict. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain unclear. We examine this with simulations and through empirical examination of several large seed plant clades.
