Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Age‐related trends in niche position and specialization in Neotropical vertebrates

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species' niche positions and breadths within a region's environmental space, measured through ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA) as marginality and specialization, can reflect evolutionary constraints related to lineage age. The ‘internal incumbency' hypothesis predicts that older species, due to competitive preemption, occupy more central niche ...

Simulating past and future refugia for temperate trees in northern Italy

Ecography, EarlyView.
During the Quaternary, trees responded to the climatic changes of glacial–interglacial cycles with large‐scale range shifts. Over cold glacials, temperate tree species contracted their ranges and survived in areas known as refugia. Several studies point to the Euganean Hills (Colli Euganei), in Veneto, northern Italy, as one of the northernmost ...

Cultivar Differences in the Response of the Fruiting Characteristics of Camellia oleifera Abel to the Concentration of Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate during Foliar Spraying

Horticulturae
One of the main reasons for the low yield of Camellia oleifera Abel is the large number of flowers and fruits that fall off before ripening. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of foliar spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4)
