Molecular evolution of paclitaxel biosynthetic genes TS and DBAT of Taxus species

, 2009
Evolutionary patterns of sequence divergence were analyzed in genes from the conifer genus Taxus (yew), encoding paclitaxel biosynthetic enzymes taxadiene synthase (TS) and 10-deacetylbaccatin III-10 beta-O-acetyltransferase (DBAT).

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

Rapid scavenging of avian carcasses in the desert Southwest: Implications for mortality surveys not associated with infrastructure

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We placed 214 avian carcasses in a desert environment at locations not associated with infrastructure and monitored their removal by scavengers using camera traps. We found that 211 of the 214 carcasses were scavenged and median persistence time was 1.53 days. None of the predictor variables were informative of carcass persistence times.

Can Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) Browsing Stimulate the Chemical Defense of Taxus cuspidata—A Case of Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Baseline survey of root-associated microbes of Taxus chinensis (Pilger) Rehd. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Taxol (paclitaxel) a diterpenoid is one of the most effective anticancer drugs identified. Biosynthesis of taxol was considered restricted to the Taxus genera until Stierle et al.

Refuge by day, forage by night: Diel activity of vine weevil as characterised by smart monitoring

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Vine weevil activity was monitored using a Smart trap, which recorded diel refuge‐seeking behaviour. Increasing light intensity triggered refuge seeking behaviour, while lower light intensity induced forage seeking activity. Understanding vine weevil diel activity can enhance early detection, which can improve the effectiveness of integrated pest ...
