Movement decisions reflect compromised statewide connectivity for mountain lions in California

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Human‐induced habitat fragmentation threatens connectivity for populations of wide‐ranging species by compromising long‐distance dispersal. We evaluated movement‐based resource selection of dispersing mountain lions (Puma concolor) to identify specific landscape conditions influencing movement decisions and connectivity between populations across the ...

A new approach for estimating northern peatland gross primary productivity using a satellite-sensor-derived chlorophyll index

, 2011
Carbon flux models that are largely driven by remotely sensed data can be used to estimate gross primary productivity (GPP) over large areas, but despite the importance of peatland ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, relatively little attention has ...

Effect of medicinal and food homologous plants polysaccharides on animal nutrition and health: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract As one of the most important components of foods, animal meat provides a lot of protein, fat, and energy for humans. However, nutrition and health of animals directly affect the healthiness of human, especially antibiotic residues in animals induced by abuse of antibiotics.

Real‐time quality and safety monitoring of fruit juice using paper‐based platform

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of a paper‐based biosensor for rapid detection of fruit juice spoilage. Abstract Food spoilage and safety concerns still remain critically challenging within the fruit juice industry, especially as conventional detection methods, though precise, are often too time‐consuming, costly, and reliant on centralized laboratories.

Buck Wheat: Nutritional, Bioactive Characteristics, Health Benefits, and Side Effects

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Micronutrient deficits have resulted from an over‐reliance on a small number of cereal crops for food security. The agricultural sector faces severe sustainability issues due to the rapid growth of the world's population and sudden climatic changes.
