The relative abundance of crop and natural food influences crop consumption by brown bears

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many mammalian species now inhabit anthropogenic landscapes, and human–wildlife conflicts, particularly pertaining to crop damage, have become a significant issue. To develop more effective measures to limit crop damage caused by wildlife, it is crucial to identify how natural and anthropogenic food availability affect crop use by wildlife in the ...

Transcriptome analysis unveils a potential novel role of VvAP1 in regulating the developmental fate of primordia in grapevine

Fruit Research
The grapevine shoot meristem contains undifferentiated primordia known as anlagen, which can develop into either inflorescences or tendrils depending on vine age, growth status, hormone balance, and other factors.

Gene expression and metabolic variability in fungus-resistant PIWI ('Pilzwiderstandsfähig') grape cultivars. [PDF]

J Sci Food Agric
Abstract BACKGROUND Fungus‐resistant PIWI (Pilzwiderstandsfähig) grape cultivars are promising for reducing pesticide inputs in viticulture, but their enological potential is still poorly characterized. We performed a pilot, single‐vintage study integrating berry gene expression and phenolic composition in five Italian red PIWI cultivars (Cabernet ...

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Dietary and Ranging Behavior of Semi‐Free Ranging Lemur catta and Varecia rubra at Myakka City Lemur Reserve, Florida, USA

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...
