High-throughput microfluidic real-time PCR as a promising tool in disease ecology. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This work highlights the diversity of disease ecology questions Htrt PCR could contribute to addressing in a given host–pathogen ecosystem. This tool could be used to answer a broad set of basic and applied questions in animal ecology, notably by providing a way to address issues involving communities of hosts and communities of pathogens.

The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Tetrodotoxin is best known as the poison of the pufferfish, which is a delicacy in Japanese cuisine. Its toxicity arises from the selective blockage of NaV channels, which is depicted for the NaV1.7 pore, highlighting the DEKA motif, which permeates sodium ions.

Effects of harvest treatments on forest carbon pools in eastern North America: A meta-analysis. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Understanding carbon dynamics in managed forest ecosystems is increasingly crucial for formulating informed recommendations in the context of climate change. Silviculture significantly impacts forest carbon pools, though these effects can vary depending on the type of treatment applied. In recent decades, partial cuttings have been proposed as

Elucidating Continental‐Wide Phylogeographic and Adaptive Processes Shaping the Genome‐Wide Diversity of North America's Most Widely Distributed Tree

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Past population dynamics during the Pleistocene ice age and the Holocene era have profoundly influenced the genetic structure and diversity of species. Environmental heterogeneity has further shaped local and regional adaptive variation. Here, we ask how historical processes have led to the current genetic diversity of a key North American ...

Leveraging Biomass Procurement to Mitigate Carbon Emissions at the Stand Level: A Case Study in Eastern Canadian Forests

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2025.
The carbon emission reductions from using residual forest biomass for bioenergy remain controversial, despite its potential to mitigate climate change. This study evaluated how intensifying wood procurement for bioenergy, alongside supplying fiber for conventional wood industries, can support low‐carbon forest management.

Is It Cold Enough? Effects of Artificial and Natural Chilling on Budbreak and Frost Hardiness in Acer saccharum (Marsh.)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT A crucial part of the phenological cycle in temperate and boreal trees is the exposure to chilling temperatures releasing endodormancy, which allows the trees to react to external signals and resume growth in spring. We compared the effect of artificial and natural chilling on endodormancy break and frost hardiness of sugar maple (Acer ...
