The complete mitochondrial genome of Polyozellus multiplex (Thelephorales)
The complete mitogenome of Polyozellus multiplex (Underw.) Murrill , was first sequenced, assembled, and annotated in the present study. The mitogenome length was 47,054 bp with a GC content of 23.35%, including 14 conserved protein-coding genes, one ...

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Plant Species Diversity of Pangi Binangga Nature Reserve, Central Sulawesi [PDF]
Pangi Binangga Nature Reserve is one of eight nature reserves in Central Sulawesi. In 1998, Pangi Binangga was designated as a conservation area, however, the diversty of the plant species not been recognized and reported.

General relationships between consumer dispersal, resource dispersal and metacommunity diversity
One of the central questions of metacommunity theory is how dispersal of organisms affects species diversity. Here we show that the diversity-dispersal relationship should not be studied in isolation of other abiotic and biotic flows in the metacommunity.

Aphidophagous Coccinellids in Alfalfa, Small Grains, and Maize in Eastern South Dakota [PDF]
In a 13-year study of aphidophagous coccinellids associated with alfalfa (Medicago sativa), maize (Zea mays), and small grain crops in eastern South Dakota, the following species were consistently associated with the crops: Hippodamia convergens, H ...

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Macrofungi do not exist in isolation but establish symbiotic relationships with microorganisms, particularly bacteria, within their fruiting bodies. Herein, we examined the fruiting bodies’ bacteriome of seven species of the genus Laccaria collected from

Beta-diversity of Central European forests decreases along an elevational gradient due to the variation in local community assembly processes [PDF]
Beta-diversity has been repeatedly shown to decline with increasing elevation, but the causes of this pattern remain unclear, partly because they are confounded by coincident variation in alpha- and gamma-diversity.

Seasonality and predictability shape temporal species diversity.
Temporal environmental fluctuations, such as seasonality, exert strong controls on biodiversity. While the effects of seasonality are well known, the predictability of fluctuations across years may influence seasonality in ways that are less well ...
