Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Biology and fertility life table of the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus on grape

, 2022
The South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera Tephritidae) was grown in the laboratory on two different table grape cultivars, 'Italia' (Vitis vinifera L.) and 'Niagara Rosada' (Vitis labrusca L.). In 'Niagara Rosada', oviposition occurred but larvae did not develop. In 'Italia', the duration in days (mean ± SE) and viability
