Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

Using phenology to improve invasive plant detection in fine‐scale hyperspectral drone‐based images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Using drone‐based hyperspectral images of mixed temperate successional forests collected over a growing season, detection algorithms were produced for three invasive species of interest, which are not only invasive in Virginia but also much of the U.S.: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive), and Rhamnus davurica ...

Genome Assembly and Population Resequencing Reveal the Geographical Divergence of Shanmei (Rubus corchorifolius)

bioRxiv, 2021
Rubus corchorifolius (‘Shanmei’ or mountain berry, 2n =14) is widely distributed in China, and its fruit has high nutritional and medicinal values. Here, we report a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of Shanmei, with a size of 215.69 Mb and ...

A comparison of thermal drones and camera trap population estimates for Sitka black‐tailed deer in Alaska

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.

Diversity and authentication of Rubus accessions revealed by complete plastid genome and rDNA sequences

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Complete plastid genome (plastome) and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences of three Rubus accessions (two Rubus longisepalus and one R. hirsutus) were newly assembled using Illumina whole-genome sequences. Rubus longisepalus Nakai and R.

Neutral effects of low‐intensity dog training on northern bobwhite vital rates

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Indirect effects of hunting can lead to changes in population dynamics, which can be caused by trait‐mediated effects such as, but not limited to, changes in behavior, reproduction, and physiological responses. Our understanding of the effects of activities associated with hunting such as dog training may incur trait‐mediated effects, and ultimately ...

Genska banka Fakultete za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede (FKBV) Univerze v Maribor

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2012
Gensko banko Fakultete za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede (FKBV) smo začeli oblikovati leta 1996. Prvih 10 let je delo potekalo na zbiranju in vzdrževanju rastlinskih genskih virov in je bilo prilagojeno predvsem pedagoškim potrebam fakultete in ...

Benefit or ecological trap? Monitoring the effects of small clear‐cuts on capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and its mammalian predators

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.
