Managing small populations—using genetic data and trial translocations to help inform suitable conservation measures for the alpine blue-sowthistle (Cicerbita alpina) in Scotland

Finger, Aline; Smedley, Mike; Frachon, Natacha; Ahrends, Antje (IOP Science, 2023-06-28)

Habitat fragmentation is causing an increasing amount of species loss around the world and creates problems at the population level. Many species are left as only small and isolated populations, which are vulnerable to ...

Meiotic behavior and postmeiotic pollen formation in the F1 hybrid Streptocarpus grandis x S. rexii (Gesneriaceae) and its parents

Moeller, Michael; Kelso, Nathan; Nishii, Kanae (International Society of Cytology, 2023-06)

Streptocarpus rexii and S. grandis have been extensively studied to unravel their developmental evolution. We karyologically studied S. grandis and S. rexii, and compared their meiotic behavior with that of their F1 hybrid. ...

Evidence of biotic resistance to exotic plant invasion in degraded Bornean forests

Waddell, Emily H.; Chapman, Daniel S.; Hill, Jane K.; Hughes, Mark; Sailim, Azlin Bin; Tangah, Joseph; Banin, Lindsay F. (John Wiley & Sons, 2023-07)

Intact tropical forests are generally considered to be resistant to invasions by exotic species, although the shrub Clidemia hirta (Melastomataceae) is highly invasive in tropical forests outside its native range. Release ...

Ancient DNA sequence quality is independent of fish bone weight

Atmore, Lane; Ferrari, Giada; Martínez-Garciá, Lourdes; van der Jagt, Inge; Blevis, Rachel; Granado, José; Häberle, Simone; Dierickx, Katrien; Quinlan, Elizabeth; Lõugas, Lembi; Makowiecki, Daniel; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Barrett, James; Star, Bastiaan (Elsevier, 2023-01)

The field of ancient DNA (aDNA) typically uses between 50 and 200 mg of minimum input weight of bone material for the extraction of DNA from archaeological remains. While laboratory and analysis techniques have focused on ...

Towards resolving Nothophaeocryptopus and Rhizosphaera inhabitants of spruce needles

Taylor, Joanne E. E.; Koukol, Ondřej (John Wiley & Sons, 2023-06)

Our knowledge of the endophytic fungal community associated with needles of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) is rather limited, which contrasts with the importance of this tree species for forestry in the UK. In our study, ...

A new subfamily Calasterelloideae and new genus Calasterella for a phylogenetically and morphologically distinct member of the Aytoniaceae

Long, David G.; Zheng, Tian-Xiong (Magnolia Press, 2023-07-31)

Based on a phylogenetically and morphologically distinct species, a new genus Calasterella is established. A new subfamily, Calasterelloideae, is also proposed to contain this genus.
