Interaction Network Between Frugivorous Birds and Plants in Karst Habitats. [PDF]
The results suggested that interaction networks in a nature reserve were temporally complex and variable. A network approach could offer an important monitoring tool for detecting crucial ecosystem functions of bird–plant associations. ABSTRACT The karst region of southwest China is characterized by fragmented habitats featuring high plant diversity ...

Gene Flow and Abundance of a Tropical Fruit Fly in a Horticultural Landscape Mosaic in Eastern Australia Is Limited by Cleared Grazing Land and Area-Wide Management. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Landscape ecology and genetics provide important analytical frameworks for investigating the effect of environmental features on ecological processes. Few empirical studies, however, have simultaneously tested how landscape characteristics influence spatial patterns of gene flow and abundance of pest insects in heterogeneous environments.

Scale-Up of Tailor-Made Onsite Enzyme Blend From Cassava Peels for Industrial Bioethanol Production. [PDF]
Bioethanol production is one of the key alternatives for fossil fuel use due to climate change. The study seeks to upscale tailor‐made onsite enzyme blends for the bioconversion of cassava peels to bioethanol in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process using cassava peels‐degrading fungi.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations for Sugarcane Production for Sugar on Florida Sand Soils
Sands used in sugarcane production in Florida have low levels of organic matter, silt, and clay, and they provide little nitrogen (N) through mineralization of organic matter and possess a low capacity for N retention as a result.

The ZmRACK1–ZmCDPK7–ZmAPX1 module regulates plant antiviral immunity
In maize, ZmRACK1 acts as a scaffold protein that bridges the cyclin‐dependent kinase ZmCDPK7 and the ascorbate peroxidase ZmAPX1, promoting ZmAPX1 activity to mitigate MCMV infection. Upon viral infection, P31 obstructs formation of the ZmRACK1‐ZmCDPK7‐ZmAPX1 complex, inhibiting ZmCDPK7‐mediated ZmAPX1 activity and promoting reactive oxygen species ...

Estimating the greenhouse gas emission abatement potential of tidal introduction in Australia
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetlands store higher amounts of organic carbon and sequester it at higher rates in soil relative to terrestrial ecosystems. However, they have been extensively drained, excavated, or modified, often to allow agriculture. Restoring degraded coastal wetlands can be an important contribution to climate change mitigation by ...

ABSTRACT In multi‐stakeholder initiatives, actors across sectors develop voluntary standards to guide firms' sustainability efforts. While multi‐stakeholder initiatives have long been a prevalent instrument of sustainability regulation, recently, there has been an uptake of legislation that makes it mandatory for firms to acknowledge sustainability ...

ABSTRACT Fieldwork is the cornerstone of empirical research in agrarian studies. Discussion about methodological options has, however, not kept up with the innovative conceptual developments taking place within the discipline. This is particularly evident in the study of social differentiation, a key concern in agrarian scholarship. Through a review of
