Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

A sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) mutant with altered carbon isotope ratio [PDF]
Los esfuerzos recientes para diseñar rasgos fotosintéticos C4 en plantas C3 como el arroz exigen una comprensión de los elementos genéticos que permiten a las plantas C4 superar a las plantas C3. Como parte de los esfuerzos del Consorcio del Arroz C4 para identificar los genes necesarios para apoyar la fotosíntesis de C4, se generaron poblaciones de ...

Recent advances in the genomics of sugarcane (Saccharum)
This review systematically summarizes advances in sugarcane genomics, evolution, classification, and breeding practices. It identifies key research bottlenecks and proposes an integrated research framework to facilitate predictive sugarcane breeding, which provides valuable references for genetic improvement of other complex polyploid crops.

Synthetic community complexity reduction designs. Summary Plant growth is influenced by the composition of its associated microbiome. The inherent complexity and functional redundancy of natural plant microbiomes present a formidable barrier to understanding the myriad biological interactions therein.

ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 26) is one of the oldest oilseed crops and is often called the ‘queen of oilseeds’ due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants. Despite its long history, the origin and global spread of cultivated sesame remain unresolved.

ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...
