Mycophiles forage for and pick vast quantities of a wide variety of wild mushroom species.As a result, mushroom intoxications are comparatively frequent in such countries with mycophiles.Thus, national governments are forced to release guidelines or enact legislation in order to ensure the safe commerce of wild mushrooms due to food safety concerns
Abstract Background Woodlice are recognized as keystone species in terrestrial ecosystems due to their role in the decomposition of organic matter.Thus, they contribute to lignocellulose degradation and Collections nutrient cycling in the environment together with other macroarthropods.Lignocellulose is the main component of plants and is composed
This paper, by drawing on various interpretations or storylines of territorial cohesion and by referring to the national policy contexts in Denmark and Germany, critically assesses the concept of territorial cohesion and its added value by exploring what difference the formal recognition of territorial cohesion makes for EU, national and regional p
Sunflower varieties having plants with armored-layer seeds resulted in a high reduction of seed damage caused by larval feeding of the sunflower moth, Homoeosoma electel-lum (Hulst).Several sunflower lines were significantly more resistant to seed damage when the plants had armored-layer seeds than when the same lines had non-armored-layer seeds.Th
BACKGROUND: Freshwaters are the most threatened ecosystems on earth.Although recent assessments provide data on global priority regions for freshwater conservation, local scale priorities remain unknown.Refining the scale of global biodiversity assessments (both at terrestrial and freshwater realms) and translating these into conservation prioritie
