Role of dispersal in the altitudinal migration of Pinus hartwegii and Abies religiosa in mountain systems

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Seed long-distance dispersal (LDD) is essential to explain plant migration. However, few studies have addressed the magnitude and frequency of LDD events given the difficulty of measuring them in situ.

Unlocking the Power of Quercetin‐Encapsulated Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles: A Multifunctional Approach to Bone Regeneration

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) are investigated for bone regeneration given their remarkable structural and functional properties. MBGNs are functionalized with Mn and Cu and incorporated with quercetin, a natural flavonoid exhibiting antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

Dispersal mode mediates the seed functional traits of woody plants’ responses to urbanization in remnant forest patches

Trees, Forests and People
Urban remnant forests are essential for biodiversity conservation within city landscapes, facing direct impacts from urbanization and indirect changes from surrounding land use alterations that affect seed dispersal and plant diversity.

Ideal Molecular Sieving with a Dense MOF for Helium Upgrading with Highly Diffusion Selective Mixed Matrix Membranes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.

Endozoochory by the cooperation between beetles and ants in the holoparasitic plant Cynomorium songaricum in the deserts of Northwest China.

PLoS ONE
Cynomorium songaricum Rupr. first described by Carl Johann (Ivanovič) Ruprecht in 1840 is a desert parasitic plant that mainly parasitizes the roots of Nitraria L. (especially of Nitraria tangutorum Bobrov., Nitraria sibirica Pall.).

Bird functional traits affect seed dispersal patterns of China’s endangered trees across different disturbed habitats

Avian Research, 2018
Background The most dominant global threat to natural forests and their biodiversity is land-cover change, which has negative impacts on both species persistence and ecosystem functions.

Ant-mediated seed dispersal in a warmed world [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Climate change affects communities both directly and indirectly via changes in interspecific interactions. One such interaction that may be altered under climate change is the ant-plant seed dispersal mutualism common in deciduous forests of eastern ...

Seed dispersal distributions resulting from landscape‐dependent daily movement behaviour of a key vector species, Anas platyrhynchos

, 2017
Dispersal via animals (zoochory) is a primary mechanism for seed exchange between habitat patches. Recent studies have established that many plant species can survive waterbird gut passage.

Synchrotron Radiation for Quantum Technology

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Materials and interfaces underpin quantum technologies, with synchrotron and FEL methods key to understanding and optimizing them. Advances span superconducting and semiconducting qubits, 2D materials, and topological systems, where strain, defects, and interfaces govern performance.
