Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

Impact of obscured data on species distribution models

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The lack of knowledge about geographic distribution and environmental preference can hinder conservation efforts for rare and threatened species. Open‐source databases provide an opportunity to address these knowledge gaps through the geographic information they hold on species worldwide.

Are climate change adaptation strategies working? A call to expedite learning

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Evidence is lacking for what constitutes effective climate change adaptation strategies to successfully conserve and steward ecosystems. Yet we urgently need this information to develop robust adaptation strategies to keep pace with unprecedented change, given our limited resources to do so.

Colonization and extinction lags drive non‐linear responses to warming in mountain plant communities across the Northern Hemisphere

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global warming is changing plant communities due to the arrival of new species from warmer regions and declining abundance of cold‐adapted species. However, experimentally testing predictions about trajectories and rates of community change is challenging because we normally lack an expectation for future community composition, and most warming ...

Global identification of key genes for pollen germination in rice through high‐throughput screening and gene editing

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A systematic examination of 107 T‐DNA insertional lines targeting 105 genes preferentially expressed in late pollen development identified 42 lines exhibiting significant deviations from expected Mendelian segregation ratios, suggesting a potential involvement in pollen viability and germination.

OsPRK1/2/3‐mediated reactive oxygen species signaling is required for pollen tube germination in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice pollen‐specific receptor‐like kinases OsPRK1, OsPRK2, and OsPRK3 play a crucial role in reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐mediated pollen hydration and germination. Triple mutants display male sterility due to decreased ROS levels and impaired pollen hydration, and their germination phenotype can be partially restored by exogenous application of ...

Recent advances in improving yield and immunity through transcription factor engineering

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Recent advances have demonstrated that modulating transcription factors can help balance growth and immunity, which is critical to achieving high yield and disease resistance in crops. This review provides a perspective on how specific transcription factors can be engineered to enhance growth and immunity simultaneously. ABSTRACT Transcription factors (

Evidence of Intraspecific Adaptive Variation in the American Pika (Ochotona princeps) on a Continental Scale Using a Target Enrichment and Mitochondrial Genome Skimming Approach

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Montane landscapes present an array of abiotic challenges that drive adaptive evolution amongst organisms. These adaptations can promote habitat specialisation, which may heighten the risk of extirpation from environmental change. For example, higher metabolic rates in an endothermic species may contribute to heightened cold tolerance, whilst ...

Genomics‐Driven Monitoring of Fraxinus latifolia (Oregon Ash) to Inform Conservation and EAB‐Resistance Breeding

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the evolutionary processes underlying range‐wide genomic variation is critical to designing effective conservation and restoration strategies. Evaluating the influence of connectivity, demographic change and environmental adaptation for threatened species can be invaluable to proactive conservation of evolutionary potential.

Genomic Vulnerability of a Sentinel Mammal Under Climate Change

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to biodiversity, particularly in alpine ecosystems where species have already undergone elevational range shifts. Genomics can be used to estimate the adaptive potential of species, as well as the shift in adaptive genomic composition necessary for populations to adjust to climate change (e.g., genomic
