Systematics of Planchonella Pierre: The largest Sapotaceae genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae

open access: yesTAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Planchonella is the largest genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae), believed to circumscribe about 110 species, occurring throughout tropical Asia, Australia, and Oceania, as well as the Seychelles and Hawaii. Previous studies have confirmed the monophyly of Planchonella but also identified problems such as species limits of the ...

Condensation of capillary water and decreased surface energy cause increased soil water repellency in sandy soil

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 73, Issue 6, November–December 2022., 2022
Abstract Predicting soil water availability to crops in water‐repellent sandy soil is complicated as soil water repellency (SWR) responds non‐linearly to soil water content. Others have hypothesised that the development of a monolayer of water molecules results in SWR increasing before SWR declines with a further increase in soil water content.

Vertical ambush corridors: Intriguing multi‐mechanism ecological structures embedded in the kinetic fluid architectures of ocean living resource production systems

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 3-20, January 2023., 2023
Abstract The concept of a ‘vertical ambush corridor’ is herein introduced to marine ecosystem science. In the open ocean, adequate physical cover from which to launch an unanticipated ambush attack is generally lacking. An available alternative is for a predator to channel its attack vertically upward from below, rendering an unlighted approaching ...

Precipitation and female experience are major determinants of the breeding performance of Canarian houbara bustards

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precipitation is one of the main triggers of reproduction in desert‐breeding birds. The unpredictability of rainfall patterns in arid environments has led species to adapt their breeding effort to episodes of abundant food after rainfall. The response is not the same for all individuals in a population, and may vary especially with the age and ...

A review of microbial‐environmental interactions recorded in Proterozoic carbonate‐hosted chert

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 3-27, January 2023., 2023
Abstract The record of life during the Proterozoic is preserved by several different lithologies, but two in particular are linked both spatially and temporally: chert and carbonate. These lithologies capture a snapshot of dominantly peritidal environments during the Proterozoic. Early diagenetic chert preserves some of the most exceptional Proterozoic

Factors determining nest‐site selection of surface‐nesting seabirds: a case study on the world's largest pelagic bird, the Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans)

open access: yesIbis, Volume 165, Issue 1, Page 190-203, January 2023., 2023
Several factors may drive bird nest‐site selection, including predation risk, resource availability, weather conditions and interaction with other individuals. Understanding the drivers affecting where birds nest is important for conservation planning, especially where environmental change may alter the distribution of suitable nest‐sites.
