Annual Dynamic Changes in Lignin Synthesis Metabolites in Catalpa bungei ‘Jinsi’

Metabolites
Background: Catalpa bungei ‘Jinsi’ has excellent wood properties and golden texture, which is widely used in producing furniture and crafts. The lignin content and structural composition often determine the use and value of wood. Hence, investigating the

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Functional Analysis of GbFLS1045 Regulating the Metabolism of Flavonoids in Ginkgo biloba L.

Metabolites
Objectives: Flavonoids are a class of widely distributed secondary metabolites in plants. Ginkgo biloba leaves are rich in flavonoids and thus are utilized for extracting medicinal components to treat and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ...

Positive association between forest management, environmental change, and forest bird abundance

Forest Ecosystems, 2019
Background The global decrease in wildlife populations, especially birds, is mainly due to land use change and increasing intensity of land use (Parmesan and Yohe 2003).

Dynamic geo‐hydrogeological monitoring‐driven situational awareness for real‐time floor water inrush risk prediction in deep mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The fused data extracted from the distributed monitoring system as the data basis, combined with dynamic geological data, are imported into a deep learning model. As the geological conditions of mining and excavation change, the risk of water inrush at the working face is retrieved in real time.

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Continuous monoculture of Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge leads to continuous cropping challenges due to fungal pathogen accumulation and reduced beneficial bacteria abundance

Fruit Research
Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge, a unique oil crop native to northern China, has a long history of cultivation. In this study, X. sorbifolium Bunge was continuously planted in Zibo and Weifang, Shandong Province, to explore the factors that cause a decline
