Balancing gain and diversity: Optimal contribution selection for sustainable genetic improvement in sugarcane. [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Genome
Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ∼80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's complex polyploid genome and long breeding cycles, which limit the efficiency of traditional selection methods.

Increased utilitarian value of invasive species in regions with long invasion history may limit public engagement for invasion control

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge
