Nuclear and mitochondrial genome assemblies for the endangered wood-decaying fungus Somion occarium.
Genome Biol Evol
January 2025
Earlham Institute, Norwich, UK.
Somion occarium is a wood-decaying bracket fungus belonging to an order known to be rich in useful chemical compounds. Despite its widespread distribution, S. occarium has been assessed as endangered on at least one national Red List, presumably due to loss of old-growth forest habitat.

Unlabelled: Nitrogen (N) fixation in association with mosses could be a key source of new N in tropical montane cloud forests since these forests maintain high humidity levels and stable temperatures, both of which are important to N fixation. Here, nutrient availability could be a prominent control of N fixation processes. However, the mechanisms and extent of these controls, particularly in forests at different successional stages, remains unknown to date.

January 2025
University of California Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- In 1974, lesbian intentional communities emerged in rural Oregon, influenced by the back-to-the-land movement and women's liberation, allowing members to challenge traditional gender norms through a unique ecofeminist lifestyle.
- The land they occupy, which has been affected by logging, serves as a conservation site for old-growth forests, emphasizing their commitment to environmental preservation and their connection to non-human life.
- The essay combines past research with personal reflections and interviews, exploring the intimate relationships within the lesbian land community and their potential significance for future queer and feminist ecological movements.
Frequency-dependent assembly processes determine the coexistence and relative abundance of tropical plant species.

Department of Biological Sciences, Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI, USA.
Testing the extent to which ecological communities are structured by deterministic (niche-based) assembly processes, resulting in predictable species abundance and composition, is a fundamental goal of ecology. Here we use a 10-year dataset of 55,156 lianas comprising 86 species in an old-growth tropical forest in Panama to test whether community assembly is consistent with niche-based assembly processes. We find that species diversity and community composition was maintained because species conformed to four general requirements of coexistence theory: (1) species have negative conspecific frequency-dependent feedback that control their local population size; (2) species have a stronger negative effect on their own population than that of heterospecifics; (3) the equilibrium frequencies of species correspond to their relative abundance; and (4) species have positive invasibility.

Examining whether nitrogen (N) enrichment promotes secondary tree growth in both young (YF) and old-growth forests (OF) is crucial. This will help determine how N addition influences plant carbon sequestration across successional phases in temperate forests. We conducted an eight-year N addition experiment (0, 25, 50, 75 kg N ha yr) in YF and OF in northeast China to investigate the effects of enhanced in situ N deposition on tree growth.
