TL;DR: In this article, the effects of historic sheep grazing on the vegetation and soil properties of a Desert Steppe community were investigated in three sites (replicates) in Siziwang Banner in Inner Mongolia with four treatments defined along an historic grazing gradient.

TL;DR: Because the common soil fungus and mycoparasite GliCladium roseum differs from the type species of Gliocladium, G. penicillioides, in morphology, ecology, teleomorph, and DNA sequence data, it is considered a new type of soil fungus.

TL;DR: A comparatively high diversity of species was found, comprising 29 taxa, including T. asperellum was the prevalent species and was represented by two distinct genotypes with different metabolic profiles and habitat preferences, along with 11 currently undescribed species.

TL;DR: These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the B. oleracea genome has been highly rearranged since divergence from A. thaliana, likely as a result of polyploidization.
Abstract: Brassica oleracea is closely related to the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite this relationship, it has been difficult to both identify the most closely related segments between the genomes and determine the degree of genome replication within B. oleracea relative to A. thaliana. These difficulties have arisen in part because both species have replicated genomes, and the criteria used to identify orthologous regions between the genomes are often ambiguous. In this report, we compare the positions of sequenced Brassica loci with a known position on a B. oleracea genetic map to the positions of their putative orthologs within the A. thaliana genome. We use explicit criteria to distinguish orthologous from paralogous loci. In addition, we develop a conservative algorithm to identify collinear loci between the genomes and a permutation test to evaluate the significance of these regions. The algorithm identified 34 significant A. thaliana regions that are collinear with >28% of the B. oleracea genetic map. These regions have a mean of 3.3 markers spanning 2.1 Mbp of the A. thaliana genome and 2.5 cM of the B. oleracea genetic map. Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the B. oleracea genome has been highly rearranged since divergence from A. thaliana, likely as a result of polyploidization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the causes of honey bee colony losses in Canada and found that honey bee colonies in Canada experienced the highest number of colony deaths in the last decade.
