The diversity and distribution of wasps and bees in the Gauhati University campus, Kamrup Metro, Assam was investigated in four different habitats: campus gardens, grasslands, residential areas, and areas adjacent to wet...

Village ponds serve as important micro-wetland habitats that support diverse avifauna yet are subject to anthropogenic pressures. The present study assessed the avifaunal diversity and seasonal variations in Ladhwaya Pon...

Riparian vegetation is the buffer zone between the aquatic ecosystem of a river and the terrestrial ecosystem. Trees are a typical feature of many ecosystems. Understanding the diversity and geographic distribution of tr...

ObjectiveTooth loss in older adults was associated with an elevated risk of malnutrition, which may be compounded by limited dietary diversity. This study aimed to assess the associations between the number of natural te...

The recent expansion of biodiversity recording through citizen science projects represents a valuable tool for enriching our knowledge of biota. Given the rapid ecosystem changes driven by human activities, plant communi...

Fine-scale heterogeneity in soil nutrient availability can enhance plant growth, yet its effect across soil depth remains inadequately understood. Communities with increased species diversity showed varying growth strate...

Abstract Expediting the construction of the new energy systems is crucial to achieving an energy transition, decreasing carbon dioxide emissions, and alleviating global warming. Utilizing Chinese province panel data from...

Abstract Assessing plant diversity using remote sensing, including airborne imaging spectroscopy, shows promise for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring in landscape restoration and conservation. Enriching plantations w...

The bodies of animals host millions of microbial communities collectively known as the microbiome. The microbiome plays a crucial role in various processes related to the host’s health and well-being. Although our unde...

Fish diversity is often challenging due to its labor-intensive and time-consuming, particularly when it comes to detecting rare and endemic fishes in fast-flowing waters. Environmental DNA metabarcoding has emerged as a ...

BackgroundMango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important tropical fruit crop, yet the genomic diversity of mango germplasm from the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia—the country's primary production hub—remains ...

Diet-microbiome relationships are often evaluated using isolated nutrients, yet microbes encounter complex food matrices in which nutrient accessibility and baseline microbial community context jointly shape gut fermenta...

Background Inadequate dietary diversity during complementary feeding contributes to high childhood malnutrition rates in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding relationships between dietary quality and nutritional outcomes ac...

ARTICLE HIGLIGHTS - Combined saprobic index and plankton diversity assess Setu River pollution - Untreated batik wastewater affects river water quality and biodiversity - Eutrophic tolerant diatoms dominate polluted rive...

Acoustic indices provide a statistical method to quantify and assess relationships between soundscapes and avian diversity; however, more testing is necessary before acoustic indices are accepted as suitable proxies for ...

Two perennial goldenrods, Solidago canadensis and S. gigantea (Asteraceae), are considered successful plant invaders with an exceptional ability to affect the biodiversity and environment of native ecosystems in Europe. ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Among Paramyxoviruses (PMVs), measles virus (MeV) and human parainfluenza virus (HPIV) are major contributors to respiratory tract infections worldwide. Despite recurrent outbreaks of MeV and...

Increasing crop diversity in agricultural landscapes can increase biodiversity but it is unclear how different diversification strategies affect crop diversity across spatial scales. Here we compared different diversific...

Abstract Background Melissa officinalis (balm) is a perennial medicinal. Climate change and high cultivation costs necessitate the breeding of new cultivars with improved stress tolerance and high metabolite content. How...

Tropical forests hold the most species yet face the greatest threats and knowledge gaps. To improve tropical biodiversity knowledge we combined satellite-based LiDAR with in situ bird, mammal, and acoustic soundscape dat...

Abstract Background Hypogeous fungi play important ecological roles and have significant economic value. However, the hypogeous habit of these organisms hinders our understanding of their diversity and vulnerability. Res...

Bee and non-bee pollinators are vital to global food production, but their populations are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and reduced plant diversity, threatening crop yields and food security. Sustainable...

Family farming systems are widespread in tropical cocoa production, supporting rural livelihoods while providing ecosystem services such as carbon storage and soil protection. However, farm structure and crop diversity a...

Insect monitoring is a key component of sustainable and productive crop management. Among the various methods used to observe insect communities, pitfall trapping, visual searching, and sweep-net sampling of vegetation a...
