Muskrat Island: Behavioral Shifts of an Insular Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) Population in the Gulf of Maine

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The North American fur trade fundamentally shifted baselines of furbearing mammals worldwide. Using camera traps and visual surveys, we document unexpected ecological and behavioral characteristics of a population of muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) that was likely introduced to the Isles of Shoals (Maine/New Hampshire, USA) in the early 1900s.

Both Native and Introduced Non‐Crop Flowering Plants Around Orchards Support Potential Crop Pollinators and Other Beneficial Insects

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract Non‐crop floral resources in agricultural areas play an important role in supporting crop pollinating taxa and increasing biodiversity. We studied flower‐insect interactions to two spring flowering crops and accompanying non‐crop flowering resources (introduced/native) in apple and blueberry orchards in southern Tasmania, Australia, to (i ...

Morphophysiological Plant Phenotyping for the Development of Plant Breeding Under Drought and Heat Conditions: A Practical Approach

Food and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Currently, the breeding programs focus their efforts on identifying and developing tolerant genotypes to adverse conditions, such as drought and high temperatures. In this context, the physiological approach, which involves phenotyping several traits, is useful for breeding programs.

A consumer‐oriented approach to define breeding targets for molecular breeding

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 2, Page 711-721, January 2025.
Summary Flavor is a crucial aspect of the eating experience, reflecting evolving consumer preferences for fruits with enhanced quality. Modern fruit breeding programs prioritize improving quality traits aligned with consumer tastes. However, defining fruit‐quality attributes that significantly impact consumer preference is a current challenge faced by ...

Introduction to Southern Highbush Blueberry Cultivation in Containers

EDIS
Blueberry bushes prefer well drained, acidic soils with high organic matter content. These soil characteristics are not common in many parts of the world. Thus, blueberries are traditionally grown in soils amended with pine bark and elemental sulfur. The need to create optimum conditions for the roots of blueberry bushes has recently led to blueberry ...
