Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the genus Zea

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Taxonomic differentiation of teosinte species (Zea spp.), the closest relatives of maize (Z. mays) is crucial for understanding their distribution, ecology, and evolutionary history. Resolving the taxonomic uncertainties is of scientific interest and has practical implications for biodiversity management, preservation, and utilization.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Predatory Mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in Agro-Ecosystems and Conservation Biological Control: A Review and Explorative Approach for Forecasting Plant-Predatory Mite Interactions and Mite Dispersal

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Phytoseiidae mites are efficient predators, able to control pest mites and small arthropods in crops all over the world, using three biological control strategies: (i) augmentation, (ii) classical, and (iii) conservation. This paper focuses on the latter
