  Genetically improved forest reproductive materials are now widely accessible in many European countries due to decades of continuous breeding efforts. Tree breeding does not only contribute to higher-value end products but ...

• Seascape Genomics of the Smooth Hammerhead Shark Sphyrna zygaena Reveals Regional Adaptive Clinal Variation 

  Grobler, Dylan; Klein, Juliana D.; Dicken, Matthew L.; Mmonwa, Kolobe L,; Soekoe, Michelle; van Staden, Michaela; Hagen, Snorre; Maduna, Simo; Bester-van der Merwe, Aletta E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024-12-12)

  Globally, hammerhead sharks have experienced severe declines owing to continued overexploitation and anthropogenic change. The smooth hammerhead shark Sphyrna zygaena remains understudied compared to other members of the ...

• Territorial expansion of the European Ips species in the 20th century - a review 

  Grégoire, Jean-Claude; Bonte, Jochem; Bourke, Andy; Cocos, Dragos; Fielding, Nick; Gohli, Jostein; Inward, Daegan; Klapwijk, Maartje; Nikolov, Christo; Økland, Bjørn; Schroeder, Martin; Spaans, Florentine; Vakula, Jozef; Blake, Max; De Andrade Moral, Rafael; Destefanis, Maria; Griffin, Christine; Kunca, Andrej; Murchie, Archie; Ryan, Cathal; Smith, Aoife; Evans, Hugh F. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024-12-12)

  Six species of Ips de Geer (Coleoptera: Curculionidae; Scolytinae) occur in Europe. They attack weakened or dead conifers but may become aggressive and mass-attack living trees. All species have expanded their ranges in ...

• Transcriptome analysis of Phytophthora cactorum infecting strawberry identified RXLR effectors that induce cell death when transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana 

  Ghimire, Bikal; Gogoi, Anupam; Poudel, Mandeep; Stensvand, Arne; Brurberg, May Bente (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024-05-24)

  Phytophthora cactorum is a plant pathogenic oomycete that causes crown rot in strawberry leading to significant economic losses every year. To invade the host, P. cactorum secretes an arsenal of effectors that can manipulate ...

• Effects of dry matter concentration in grass silage on milk production of dairy cows fed concentrates high or low in metabolizable protein concentration 

  Grøseth, Martha Irene; Karlsson, Linda; Steinshamn, Håvard; Johansen, Marianne; Sagaye, Alemayehu Kidane; Prestløkken, Egil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Studies have shown that extended wilting of grass before ensiling can improve the metabolizable protein (MP) value of the grass silage, both from increased rumen microbial crude protein (MCP) yield and ruminally undegraded ...
