Winter Track Survey of the Amur Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia 俄罗斯滨海边疆区西南部东北虎 (Panthera tigris altaica) 冬季足迹调查

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
In the winter of 2021/2022, a winter track survey revealed 43–46 tigers (without cubs) in 5.4 thousand km2 of suitable habitats in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia. In the same period, a network of camera traps registered 54 adult/subadult tigers here.

Nitrogen addition alters adaptive strategies of a dominant plant species in an alpine meadow via shifts in traits and trait coordination

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition significantly impacts plant functional traits in alpine meadows, yet the adaptive strategies of dominant species remain unclear. Understanding these strategies is crucial for predicting alpine grassland vegetation changes and ecosystem ...

Leaf C:P ratio as a universal indicator of photosynthesis in subtropical woody species: Stoichiometric thresholds and metabolic trade‐offs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometric ratios of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) serve as important indicators for assessing nutrient balance in forest ecosystems, but their relationships with photosynthetic dynamics require deeper characterization.

Soil drying induces widespread productivity loss but unequal climate vulnerability among ecotypes of a foundational Arctic sedge

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As temperatures increase in the Arctic, hydrological change may lead to local soil drying through altered snowpack, evapotranspiration and drainage due to permafrost thaw.

The regulatory role of ZmSTOMAGEN1/2 in maize stomatal development is elucidated via gene editing and metabolic profiling.

PLoS ONE
Stomatal development is mediated by EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTORs (EPFs), a family of secreted peptides including STOMAGEN/EPFL9 in Arabidopsis. To clarify the functional role of STOMAGEN orthologues in maize (Zea mays), we generated a double knockout ...

Facilitation influences when trees grow, but not growth rate in a dry temperate forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately predicting the role of forests in the global carbon cycle requires a detailed understanding of the factors mediating the timing and magnitude of radial stem growth. While weather conditions and topo‐edaphic factors play a critical role in mediating short‐term
