Reproductive modes in populations of late-acting self-incompatible and self-compatible polyploid Ludwigia grandiflora subsp. hexapetala in western Europe by Stoeckel, Solenn, Becheler, Ronan, Portillo-Lemus, Luis, Harang, Marilyne, Besnard, Anne-Laure, Lassalle, Gilles, Causse-Védrines, Romain, Michon-Coudouel, Sophie, Park, Daniel J., Pope, Bernard J., Petit, Eric J., Barloy, Dominique

“…The overall maintenance of higher genetic diversity with the possibility of maintaining populations clonally in the absence of compatible partners may explain why long-styled individuals seem to be more prevalent in all newly expanding populations worldwide. Beyond Lgh, our methodological approach may inspire future studies to assess the reproductive modes in other autopolyploid populations.…”

Cultivating crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) significantly enhances the quantity and diversity of soil microorganisms: evidence from the comparison of rice-wheat and rice-crayfish ro... by Hui Xu, Hui Xu, Dan Wang, Dan Wang, Dan Wang, Xuguang Li, Xuguang Li, Jiajia Li, Jiajia Li, Yu Xu, Yu Xu, Zhiqiang Xu, Zhiqiang Xu

“…In contrast, the bacterial functions in the rice-crayfish rotation model were more diverse, primarily including methylotrophy, human pathogens all and methanotrophy. The results of co-occurrence network analysis showed that crayfish farming enhanced the modularity of the soil microbial community, and revealed that the microbial network in rice-wheat soil had fewer nodes and more edges, which implying more internal connections. …”
