Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...

Plant associated protists-Untapped promising candidates for agrifood tools

, 2023
The importance of host-associated microorganisms and their biotic interactions for plant health and performance has been increasingly acknowledged. Protists, main predators and regulators of bacteria and fungi, are abundant and ubiquitous eukaryotes in ...

Modes and mechanisms for the inheritance of mitochondria and plastids in pathogenic protists.

PLoS Pathogens
Pathogenic protists are responsible for many diseases that significantly impact human and animal health across the globe. Almost all protists possess mitochondria or mitochondrion-related organelles, and many contain plastids.

Scaling temperature‐dependent dispersal rates to metacommunity dynamics: An experimental test

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Changes in community structure under shifting thermal regimes depend on how both local population dynamics and regional dispersal respond to temperature. Processes underlying dispersal, such as movement speed and demographic density dependence, are constrained by ...

Plant‐derived compounds to improve soil inoculation for restoration

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Restoring the soil microbiome is increasingly recognized as an important requirement for the success of ecosystem restoration. Soil inoculation can reintroduce the missing taxa, but its application is limited by the large amount of donor soil that is needed and by the ...

Symbiont-Mediated Defense against Legionella pneumophila in Amoebae

mBio, 2019
Legionella pneumophila is an important opportunistic pathogen for which environmental reservoirs are crucial for the infection of humans. In the environment, free-living amoebae represent key hosts providing nutrients and shelter for highly efficient ...

Maximizing eDNA detections of rare marine organisms: A case study of a delphinid species

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging tool for surveying marine organisms. Advances in molecular assay designs and bioinformatic methods provide new opportunities for detecting rare species; however, overcoming methodological challenges of rare species detection remains an important obstacle for the widespread deployment of eDNA methods for ...

Sperm Head–Tail Coupling Apparatus Diversity and Common Themes Among Species

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A stable connection between the sperm head (containing the nucleus and acrosome) and tail (containing the axoneme, mitochondrial sheath, and periaxonemal structures) is critical for fertility. This connection is mediated by a series of nuclear, cytoplasmic, and centriole components that make up the head–tail coupling apparatus (HTCA)

Soil Protists Diversity, Distribution and Ecological Functioning [PDF]

, 2014
Soil protists occupy key nodes in soil food webs due to their high abundance, fast turnover and functional importance as bacterial grazers. However, methodological drawbacks obscure the knowledge of soil protists, so that many taxa remain unknown.
