Foundation species support fauna across multiple trophic levels via trophic and non‐trophic mechanisms

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 293-307, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foundation species, such as seagrasses, trees, and corals, form the biotic basis for many ecosystems. They engineer local habitats and can support many faunal species through trophic (e.g. providing feeding grounds) or non‐trophic (e.g.

Glycomolecules: from “sweet immunity” to “sweet biostimulation”?

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract Climate changes and environmental contaminants are daunting challenges that require an urgent change from current agricultural practices to sustainable agriculture. Biostimulants are natural solutions that adhere to the principles of organic farming and are believed to have low impacts on the environment and human health.

WAVE DAMPINGS BY A CROWD OF MODEL PLANTS (Zostera Japonica Ascheras) IN WATER

PROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 2004
Laboratory experiments were performed to study the wave forces acting on a model plant (Zostera Japonica Ascheras) on the bed of two dimensional wave flume. The wave forces acting on the both directions of wave propagation (in line direction) and gravity were measured by using a two components load cell installed under the bed of wave flume.

Shellfish aquaculture farms as foraging habitat for nearshore fishes and crabs

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Objective Oyster reefs across North America have declined precipitously over the past 140 years. In Washington State, Olympia oyster Ostrea lurida reefs historically provided water filtration and nearshore structural habitat for fishes and invertebrates, but this species is now functionally extinct across its historical range.

Environmental drivers of flowering in the genus Zostera and spatio‐temporal variability of Zostera muelleri flowering in Australasia

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Seed‐based seagrass restoration strategies demand precise understanding of the environmental drivers influencing flowering. Flowering varies across diverse spatial and temporal scales, yet environmental drivers' effects on these dynamics have received less attention. Lack of knowledge regarding this life‐history stage limits the advancement of

Improved production of the antidiabetic metabolite montbretin A in Nicotiana benthamiana: discovery, characterization, and use of Crocosmia shikimate shunt genes

The Plant Journal, Volume 117, Issue 3, Page 766-785, February 2024.
SUMMARY The plant‐specialized metabolite montbretin A (MbA) is being developed as a new treatment option for type‐2 diabetes, which is among the ten leading causes of premature death and disability worldwide. MbA is a complex acylated flavonoid glycoside produced in small amounts in below‐ground organs of the perennial plant Montbretia (Crocosmia ...
