The study analyzed stable isotope composition (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen) of Bangladesh origin monofloral and multifloral honey for the first time to identify the C-4plant sugar adulteration, botanical and geographical differentiation. The C-4 sugar content (11.90 to 86.61%) using carbon isotope values of whole honey and protein extractidentified18% adulterated honeys.Whereas 82% honey have been detected as authentic with the δC ranges from -24.86 to -29.26‰ and the C-4 sugar values ranges from -6.75 to 5.67%. The chemometric approach using carbon and nitrogen isotopesvalues revealed discrimination among floral types of Bangladeshi authentic honeys indicating the influence of botanical source on isotopic composition. Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) of C and N isotopes showed geographic distinction among Bangladeshi and overseas origin honeys. It is notable that the black seed honeys were correctly classified with the CDA analysis representing this type as unique Bangladesh brand as New Zealand manuka honey.

Unveiling the chemical composition of unique flavor profiles in raw Pu-erh tea from different Tea-Producing Mountains.

The Chinese proverb "One mountain, one flavor" reflects that raw pu-erh tea (RPT) from different tea-producing mountains (TPMs) possesses distinct flavor profiles. However, limited research has been conducted on the chemical composition underlying distinct flavor profiles. In this study, sensory evaluation and main phytochemical compositions revealed diverse aromas of RPTs from 26 TPMs.

The resulting demographic trade-offs constrain the range of viable life-history strategies and are hypothesized to promote local coexistence. Tropical forests pose ideal systems to study demographic trade-offs as they have a high diversity of coexisting tree species whose life-history strategies tend to align along two orthogonal axes of variation: a growth-survival trade-off that separates species with fast growth from species with high survival and a stature-recruitment trade-off that separates species that achieve large stature from species with high recruitment.

Magic mushrooms are fungi that produce psilocybin, an entheogen with long-term cultural use and a breakthrough compound for treatment of mental health disorders. Fungal populations separated by geography are candidates for allopatric speciation, yet species connectivity typically persists because there is minimal divergence at functional parts of mating compatibility genes. We studied whether connectivity is maintained across populations of a widespread species complex of magic mushrooms that has infiltrated the Northern Hemisphere from a hypothesised centre of origin in Australasia.

Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and nature's contributions to people worldwide. However, the effectiveness of invasive alien species (IAS) management measures and the progress toward achieving biodiversity targets remain uncertain due to limited and nonuniform data availability. Management success is usually assessed at a local level and documented in technical reports, often written in languages other than English, which makes such data notoriously difficult to collect at large geographic scales.

Background: Fungus gardens of the termite Odontotermes formosanus, excavated from Iriomote Island, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, were subsequently incubated under laboratory conditions. A Xylaria species emerging from these fungus gardens was initially identified as X. angulosa, a species originally described from North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
