Laccases are phenoloxidases involved in aromatic compound transformation but also in stress response towards antagonist species such as Trichoderma sp. In this study intracellular isoforms of laccases produced by Pleurotus ostreatus in liquid cultures with or without Trichoderma longibrachiatum showed five isoforms with various intensities depending on the culture conditions suggesting a basal expression of these enzymes, which can be induced by interspecific interactions. A first attempt to analyse the induction of P. ostreatus laccase-gene expression by a biotic factor was realized using semi-quantitative RT-PCR. We showed that the transcription of a laccase gene of P. ostreatus can be modified by a biotic stress such as T. longibrachiatum.

Resource partitioning is crucial for the coexistence of colonial herons, as it allows multiple species to share the same habitat while minimising competition. This study took advantage of a natural experiment in 2006 and 2007 when Black-crowned Night Herons were prevented from breeding at Lake Fetzara in the first year due to the presence of a feral cat. This event provided valuable insight into the spatial and temporal dynamics of nest site selection among coexisting heron species, which consisted of Cattle Egrets (), Little Egrets () and Squacco Herons ().

The elemental dynamics and interactions within deadwood profoundly influence carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Recent studies have investigated macronutrient cycling during deadwood decay of specific plants, yet the dynamics and interactions of micronutrients, trace elements, and the elementome across species and decay stages remain unexplored. Here, we investigated the elementome and their coupling relationships across five decay stages of downed deadwood (DDW) from four dominant species (Hippophae rhamnoides, Populus purdomii, Abies fabri, and Picea brachytyla) along the Hailuogou Glacier primary successional chronosequence.

Identifying and differentiating human activities is crucial for effectively preventing the threats posed by environmental pollution to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Machine learning (ML) is a powerful analytical tool for tracking human impacts on river ecosystems based on high-through datasets. This study employed an ML framework and 16S rRNA sequencing data to reveal microbial dynamics and trace human activities across China.

Mast seeding, the synchronous and highly variable production of seed crops by perennial plants, is a population-level phenomenon and has cascading effects in ecosystems. Mast seeding studies are typically conducted at the population/species level. Much less is known about synchrony in mast seeding between species because the necessary long-term data are rarely available.

Ecosystem models are often used to predict the consequences of management interventions in applied ecology and conservation. These models are often high-dimensional and nonlinear, yet limited data are available to calibrate or validate them. Consequently, their utility as decision-support tools is unclear.
