Effects of predatory mite biocontrols on the dispersal of antibiotic resistomes and virulence factors in tea garden soils

open access: yesMicrobiome
Background Biocontrols can be used to manage pests while supporting soil health. However, the effects of the biocontrols such as predatory mites on antibiotic resistance in bacterial communities remains largely unknown.

Garryanalyzer: A morphometric workflow and open‐source ImageJ plug‐in for quantitative morphological analysis of Pacific Northwest Quercus leaves

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Accurate species identification is crucial for ecological restoration and can be especially challenging for understudied non‐model species. Quercus garryana is the only native oak species in the Pacific Northwest and is an important component of the endangered oak savanna ecosystem.

Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Ecology of Urban Bees: A Review of Current Knowledge and Directions for Future Study

open access: yesCities and the Environment, 2009
Urban bee ecology is an emerging field that holds promise for advancing knowledge of bee community dynamics and promoting bee conservation. Published studies of bee communities in urban and suburban habitats are fewer than those documenting bees in ...

Carabid beetle assemblages associated with urban golf courses in the greater Helsinki area

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2010
Golf is a popular sport, with increasingly large areas of urban and peri-urban land being designated for golf course development. Yet, more than half of the land area of a typical golf course is considered rough and out-of-play areas that can, if managed

Widespread distribution of large silesaurids evidenced by a new record from the Middle Triassic of southwest Gondwana

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Trait choice profoundly affected the ecological conclusions drawn from functional diversity measures

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Although trait choice is crucial to quantify functional diversity appropriately, the quantitative methods for it are rarely compared and discussed.

Trends and Current Situation of China's Meat Sector

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the world's largest meat producer, consumer, and importer, China's meat sector has undergone profound transformation over the past decade, driven by biological crises (e.g., African Swine Fever), environmental policies, and global market integration. This study analyzes the sector's production restructuring, consumption diversification, and
