Temperature and the evolution of flower color: A review
Abstract Flower colors brighten our natural world. How and why have they evolved? How might ongoing global warming alter their evolutionary trajectories? In this review, I examine the influence of ambient temperature on the evolution of flower color.

Pollen cryobanking at the USDA‐ARS National Laboratory for Genetic Resources Preservation
Abstract The USDA‐ARS National Laboratory for Genetic Resources Preservation (NLGRP) has developed a pollen cryobank that currently conserves desiccation‐tolerant pollen for six crops within the USDA National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS): Carya (pecan), Corylus (hazelnut), Juglans (walnut), Phoenix (date), Pistacia (pistachio), and Prunus (stone ...

Mineral Composition, Physicochemical Characteristics, and Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties of Oil Extracted From Moroccan Bitter Apricot Kernels. [PDF]
Apricot kernels, often regarded as by‐products, are a valuable source of oils and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, which have applications in pharmacology, the food industry, and cosmetology. This study aimed to address the research gaps regarding the nutritional and functional potential of Moroccan bitter apricot kernels (BAKs) by analyzing ...

The Role of Campus as an Urban Multiuse Protected Area in Bird Nocturnal Roosting Habitat Function
Campus green spaces are essential for providing critical nocturnal habitats, playing a key role in supporting urban bird species in fragmented environments. Seasonal variations significantly influence nocturnal bird roosting site selection, with birds adapting their roosting patterns to changing environmental conditions throughout the year.

The Role of Leaf Wettability and Morphology on Leaf Surface Water Storage: A Cross‐Biome Synthesis
ABSTRACT The presence of water on leaves impacts plant function and ecosystem fluxes by supplementing moisture, reducing evapotranspirational demand and encouraging pathogen spread. Maximum phytoelement water storage capacity (MWSC)—the maximum amount of water that can be held on the surface of the leaf‐ is an important but poorly constrained parameter

Tree species diversity increases the temporal stability of multitrophic forest beetle communities
As key members of the terrestrial food webs and vital contributors to wood decomposition, beetles play essential roles in ecosystem services but are experiencing widespread declines under climate change. While protecting and restoring forests with high tree species diversity is widely acknowledged as a nature‐based solution for climate change ...
