Effects of off‐highway vehicle activity on Arizona wildlife: a systematic literature review

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The published literature indicates that off‐highway vehicles (OHVs) predominantly negatively affect native Arizona amphibians, mammals, and reptiles, while effects of OHVs on native Arizona birds are mostly unknown or neutral. Abstract Off‐highway vehicle (OHV) recreation has dramatically increased in Arizona, USA, prompting concerns about potential ...

The influence of databases enrichment using local macroinvertebrate genetic references for metabarcoding based biodiversity studies in river monitoring

Ecological Indicators
Water resources play a vital role in sustaining ecosystems, human life, food security, and biodiversity. However, these resources currently face serious threats caused primarily by human activities.

Genetic analysis of the rare forest bryophyte Dicranum viride in the boreo‐nemoral zone near the northern distribution range limit

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Bryophytes are important forest ecosystem elements, being an integral part of biodiversity. Genetic studies contribute to bryophyte population ecology by helping to understand species historical distribution patterns and genetic diversity at different scales.

Technical challenges in the implementation of macroinvertebrate DNA metabarcoding in river biomonitoring: A case study from peninsular Spain—Advantages, limitations and roadmap

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
European Union member states are required to monitor the ecological status of their water bodies. The existing official protocols and indices for routine biomonitoring are usually based on the morphological identification of different groups of indicator

Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Efficient water‐soluble blue/red‐emissive carbon dots matching plant absorption spectra: Synthesis, tunable control, and their applications in promoting plant growth

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

Selection and validation of reference genes for quantitative gene expression normalization in Taxus spp.

Scientific Reports, 2020
Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is commonly used to measure gene expression to further explore gene function, while suitable reference genes must be stably expressed under different experimental conditions to obtain accurate and reproducible data ...
