Quantification of the Potential Impact of Glyphosate-Based Products on Microbiomes
<p><br></p><p>Glyphosate-based products (GBP) are the most common broad-spectrum herbicides worldwide. The target of glyphosate is the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in the shikimate pathway, ...
The importance of study duration and spatial scale in pathogen detection - evidence from a tick-infested island
Ticks (Acari: Ixodoidea) are among the most common vectors of zoonotic pathogens worldwide. While research on tick-borne pathogens is abundant, few studies have thoroughly investigated small-scale spatial differences in ...
Tick distribution and tick-borne pathogens in Finland - The tick project of the University of Turku
<p>Ticks and tick-borne diseases are a growing problem in northern Europe and Russia. Surveys conducted in Russia, Sweden and Norway have revealed a northwards shift in distribution and an increase in tick abundance over ...
Effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide on soil animal trophic groups and associated ecosystem functioning in a northern agricultural field
Despite an increasing concern of consequences of using vast amounts of glyphosate-based herbicides in agroecosystems, their potential effects on non-target soil organisms and soil functioning are mostly unknown. It has ...
Glyphosate residues alter the microbiota of a perennial weed with a minimal indirect impact on plant performance
<p><br></p><p>Purpose <br></p><p>In cold climates, glyphosate residues may linger in soils, with effects on plant-microbe interactions and, consequently, plant performance. Here, we explore the influence of glyphosate ...
Epichloë Endophyte-Promoted Seed Pathogen Increases Host Grass Resistance Against Insect Herbivory
<p><br></p><p>Plants host taxonomically and functionally complex communities of microbes. However, ecological studies on plant–microbe interactions rarely address the role of multiple co-occurring plant-associated microbes. ...
'Resistance Mixtures' Reduce Insect Herbivory in Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) Plantations
The transition toward more sustainable plant protection with reduced pesticide use is difficult, because there is no "silver bullet " available among nonchemical tools. Integrating several plant protection approaches may ...
Phenotypic and genetic variation in natural populations of Festuca rubra s.l. in Europe
Background: Phenotypic variation within species challenges the identification of meaningful taxonomic units and the quantification of evolutionarily relevant biodiversity. Aims: We studied usefulness of the present taxonomic ...
Foraging preference of barnacle geese on endophytic tall and red fescues
Many grasses (Poaceae) have symbiotic fungal endophytes, which affect livestock by producing unpalatable or harmful secondary compounds. Less is known about the repelling effects of fungal endophytes on avian grazers despite ...
Glyphosate residues in soil can modify plant resistance to herbivores through changes in leaf quality.
<p>Glyphosate is the most widely used non-selective herbicide in the world. Glyphosate residues in soil can affect plant quality by modifying plant physiology, hormonal pathways and traits, with potential consequences for ...
