Tropical and subtropical Asia's valued tree species under threat [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2022
Abstract Tree diversity in Asia's tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature‐based solutions. Species vulnerability to multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, is poorly understood. We conducted a region‐wide, spatially explicit assessment of the vulnerability of 63 socioeconomically important tree ...

Tropical and subtropical dendrochronology: Approaches, applications, and prospects

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Tropical and subtropical forests cover only 7 % of the Earth’s land surface. Yet, they host nearly half of global tree density with a high species number (∼40,000 species), store up to 25 % of global terrestrial carbon and represent one-third of net ...

Systematic review and meta-analysis reveals functional traits and climate are good predictors of tropical tree water use

Trees, Forests and People, 2022
Hydrological and vegetation models, with the help of various micro-meteorological methods, are widely used to calculate water fluxes. Correctly estimating these fluxes requires accurate transpiration measurements. Tree water use is known to be influenced

The assembly and interactions of tree species in tropical forests based on spatial analysis

Ecosphere, 2017
Tree species were assembled into forest communities by various processes, and it was found that trees are spatially arranged in a community by the abiotic and biotic conditions within that community.

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

Endophytic Fungal Species in Tropical Trees: A Review

Journal of Tropical Forestry and Environment, 2022
Pathogenic fungi are common in forest ecosystems which cause diseases and sometimes death of plants, while some fungi live inside trees harmlessly without causing issues. Sometimes, plants benefit from the presence of those endophytic fungi, such as gaining resistance to environmental stresses, protection from harmful pathogens etc.

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.
