Jurassicleaf venationmining insectsnutrition hypothesisWe investigated the mining mode of insect feeding, involving larval consumption of a plant's internal tissues, from the Middle Jurassic (165million years ago) Daohugou locality of Northeastern China. Documentation of mining from the Jurassic Period ...
Because alpine soils often drain quickly and are poor in nutrients, a long root system is important for the plant to be able to reach enough water and nutrition. Most alpine plants are perennial and die back to their roots in fall, having to exist on stored resources throughout the 10 ...

Only in Lebanon does opinion lean in the opposite direction: 29% of Lebanese Muslims favor making sharia the law of the land, while 66% oppose it. So I have a little skepticism of the authors’ claim that Muslims normally distinguish between Sharia and Fiqh and that they’re totally okay ...
This result suggests that achlorophyllous plant species were able to migrate and diversify long after their adaptation to a myco-heterotrophic nutrition strategy. Conclusion In his excellent monograph of the Burmanniaceae Jonker [10] wrote: "Fossil Burmanniaceae are unknown. The family however is ...
Understanding how organisms adapt to extreme living conditions is central to evolutionary biology. Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) constitute an important component of the root mycobiome and they are often able to alleviate host abiotic stresses. Here, we
