Mycophagy in Primates of the Issa Valley, Tanzania

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Mushroom consumption in Issa Valley primates varies by species and availability. Chimpanzees and red‐tailed monkeys use mushrooms as a fallback food, while baboons prefer them year‐round. Our study highlights the ecological and evolutionary significance of mycophagy in primates.

Mark‐Recapture Survival Estimates of Sympatric Northern and Southern Flying Squirrels 同域分布的北方鼯鼠与南方鼯鼠的标记重捕存活率估算

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 99-108, September 2025.
Climate change is leading to sympatric populations of northern (Glaucomys sabrinus) and southern (Glaucomys volans) flying squirrels; however, we do not know how vital rates like survival are changing following this novel secondary contact. Using mark‐recapture data from sympatric populations, we found nearly identical annual survival rates (0.20 and 0.

Is There a Specific Role for Fungal Protein Within Food Based Dietary Guidelines? A Roundtable Discussion

Nutrition Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 514-528, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Expanding and aging populations, sustainability drivers and changing attitudes to the way we eat mean that there has been growing interest in non‐animal derived protein food sources. Given this shift, there has been an uprise in consumer demand and commercial innovation of meat analogues and alternative protein food sources. The question, with

Spent Pleurotus substrate as organic fertilizer to improve yield and soil fertility: the case of baby leaf lettuce production

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 11, Page 5874-5886, 30 August 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Spent mushrooms substrate is the most important waste generated by edible mushrooms industry and can be re‐used as organic fertilizer, following sustainable production principles. In the present study, Spent Pleurotus substrate (SPS) was used for organic fertilization of baby leaf production during two consecutive cycles (1st ...

Efficacy of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Against Diapausing Larvae of the Truffle Beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1105-1108, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The truffle beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus, is the most important pest in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations. Adults and mycophagous larvae are active during autumn and winter, while diapausing larvae are not. Previous laboratory studies demonstrated the high virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis ...

Home range size, habitat selection, and mycophagy of sympatric North American flying squirrels

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) is a mycophagous specialist (i.e., having a fungi‐dominated diet) which might be displaced following northward range expansion by the congeneric southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans). Loss of the northern flying squirrel could, in turn, limit fungi spore dispersal in forest communities ...

Quantifying the Dietary Overlap of Two Co‐Occurring Mammal Species Using DNA Metabarcoding to Assess Potential Competition

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Interspecific competition among co‐occurring species with similar resource requirements can be assessed by measuring diet overlap. A study on common brushtail possums and bush rats used DNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify their dietary overlap, finding a significant similarity.

Extraction, Purification, Characterization, Applications of Chitosan, Plant Gum Polysaccharides, and Other Polysaccharides: A Review

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Polysaccharides from plant gum, chitosan from animal origin, and other polysaccharides are biologically active, nontoxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible with a wider range of clinical and general applications. The properties of these biological‐derived polysaccharides play a major role in their application.

Comparison of the fragrance constituents of Tuber aestivum and Tuber brumale gathered in Hungary

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2012
Scent components from two species of Tuber truffles gleaned in Hungary were examined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry subsequent to Likens-Nickerson simultaneous distillation extraction. The analysis revealed several differences between them. In
