Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Modify Temporal Virus Accumulation and Distribution in Different Grapevine Tissues

Phytobiomes Journal
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been shown to improve plant host tolerance to biotic stresses. However, AMF-mediated protection against virus diseases has been highly variable and poorly investigated in perennial crops.

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

The evidence base for ranger patrol effectiveness in conservation and how to improve it

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ranger patrols are a cornerstone of wildlife protection efforts around the world and occur across all ecological governance systems. Evidence that patrols reduce threats to wildlife and enable their recovery has not been systematically examined previously.

Learning microbiology and virology from the cinema

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education
In this report, an alternative approach to teach virology and microbiology-related topics is presented. The teaching approach is suitable to overcome the learning fatigue of students who were tired from media reporting on viruses during the COVID-19 ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult
