Melanism in salamanders: effects of insularity, sex and size on dorsal colouration in Salamandra salamandra

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study we tested the effects of insularity on amphibian colouration using the fire salamander as a model system. Although increased melanism was not a consistent pattern across all islands, salamanders from one island exhibited higher proportions of black pigmentation than mainland populations, while insular populations overall showed reduced ...

Pinus‐derived membrane vesicles disrupt pathogenic metabolism in fungi

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Needle‐derived vesicles from pine trees impair fungal metabolism and growth, offering a sustainable strategy to control pine pitch canker disease. Abstract Much of what we know about the biological impacts of vesicles (MVs) is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Time-of-Flight Adjustment Procedure for Acoustic Measurements in Structural Timber

open access: yesBioResources, 2016
The effect of timber length on time-of-flight acoustic longitudinal measurements was investigated on the structural timber of four Spanish species: radiata pine (Pinus radiata D.

In the Bag: Leaf Litter‐Filled Artificial Cover Objects Reveal Urban Habitat Associations for Predatory Invertebrates (Onychophora: Peripitoides novaezealandiae and Araneae: Uliodon spp.)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Velvet worms and vagrant spiders are two predatory invertebrate taxa that can occupy urban forests, but understanding their habitat associations in these environments has been hampered by a lack of effective monitoring methods. We assessed how forest age and type affected the numbers of velvet worms and vagrant spiders detected within leaf litter ...

The Mineral Requirements Of Radiata Pine Seedlings [PDF]

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1961
Summary Radiata pine seedlings were grown in water cultures and perlite cultures in which N, P, K, and Mg were supplied at several rates. It was found that deficient or excess supplies of most nutrients cause chlorosis. The blue‐green foliage on P‐deficient seedlings is an exception.

Harnessing exotic germplasm for red clover improvement: Tracking genomic introgression and deploying genomic selection

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally important temperate forage legume. Its symbiosis with soil‐borne rhizobia enables nitrogen fixation, and its ability to produce quality forage under diverse soil conditions enhances pasture productivity, particularly during water deficits.

Indoleacetic Acid in Cambial Tissue of Radiata Pine [PDF]

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1967
The major growth substance detected by mesocotyl bioassay in extracts from cambial tissue of mature radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) was identified as indoleacetic acid by movement on chromatograms and electrophoretograms, by Salkowski test, and by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Indoleacetic acid concentration increased in the top stem in

Global population structures and demographic history of Suillus luteus, a pine co‐introduced ectomycorrhizal fungus associated with exotic forestry and invasion

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2964-2979, September 2026.
Global phylogenomic tree and phylogenetic network of Suillus luteus and its closely related species. Summary Human colonization since the 19th century has resulted in the global spread of pines beyond their original northern boreal distribution. Although the introduction history of pines is documented through historical records, little is known about ...

Effects of thinning and pruning on stem and crown characteristics of radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don)

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017
Simultaneous applications of thinning and pruning are common silvicultural practices in radiata pine (Pinus radiata) forest plantations. Their separate effects on tree growth and wood quality have been well studied, but their combined effect is not clear

Pinus pinea L. Periderm as a Sustainable Source of Phenolic Bioactives: Integrated Phytochemical, Antioxidant, and Elemental Investigation

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
A hydroalcoholic extract from the renewable periderm of Pinus pinea is characterized through integrated phytochemical, biological and elemental analyses. The extract exhibits a phenolic‐rich composition, significant antioxidant activity and preliminary protection against oxidative stress in SH‐SY5Y cells, while elemental profiling indicates low levels ...
