Abundance and diversity of soil arthropods and fungi in shelterbelts integrated with pastures in the central tablelands of New South Wales, Australia

Journal of Forest Science, 2012
Shelterbelts are important for the sustainability of agriculture because they provide a variety of benefits to farmers and the society. Several published papers demonstrate that integration of shelterbelts with agroecosystems offers positive outcomes ...

Waterbird community changes in the Wilderness Lakes, South Africa (Part 2 of 3): Shorebirds

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2023
Globally, many shorebirds, particularly the smaller migratory waders are declining, which can be attributed to multiple factors throughout their ranges.

Evaluation of two wheat cropping systems for enhancing biological control of the wheat thrips, Haplothrips tritici (Thys.: Phlaeothripidae) [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2013
The wheat thrips, Haplothrips tritici Kurd., is an important pest of wheat crop, Triticum aestivum L., in Ardabil region, northwestern Iran. Strip cropping of wheat and alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., is a suitable strategy for improving the effectiveness ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Tree regeneration responds more to shade casting by the overstorey and competition in the understorey than to abundance per se [PDF]

, 2019
Manipulating the overstorey is the key tool for forest managers to steer natural regeneration. Opening up the canopy does not only create favourable light conditions for tree seedling growth, but also for (competitive) understorey species.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

The perils of measuring biodiversity responses to habitat change using mixed metrics

Conservation Letters, 2023
Existing quantitative syntheses on how biodiversity responds to anthropogenic habitat change appear to sometimes mix different biodiversity metrics in drawing inferences.

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

Using causal diagrams and superpopulation models to correct geographic biases in biodiversity monitoring data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Biodiversity monitoring schemes periodically measure species' abundances and distributions at a sample of sites to understand how they have changed over time. Often, the aim is to infer change in an average sense across some wider landscape. Inference to

Avian and Mammalian Diversity and Abundance in Jhalana Reserve Forest, Jaipur, India

Animals
We utilized camera traps to evaluate animal diversity, relative abundance, and the extent of anthropogenic activities in the Jhalana Reserve Forest (JRF), located in Jaipur, with a population of 3.9 million people. Between November 2017 and November 2019,
