This work used a systematic approach in the targeted search for new hyperaccumulators in Mesoamerica, with a focus on characterizing nickel (Ni) hyperaccumulation in six species of <i>Orthion</i> and the monotypic genus <i>Mayanaea</i> (Violaceae), to complement earlier global studies on the related genus <i>Hybanthus</i>. We screened major herbarium collections, using x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis to measure metal concentrations in specimens of <i>Orthion</i> and <i>Mayanaea</i> ranging from Mexico to Nicaragua. In addition, fresh samples collected in Mexico were analyzed with associated rhizosphere soils. The results indicated that all species of <i>Orthion</i> and <i>Mayanaea</i> are able to hyperaccumulate Ni. Ni concentration ranges in leaves of herbarium specimens were (in mg kg⁻¹ dry weight): <i>Orthion guatemalense</i> (380–5100), <i>O. malpighiifolium</i> (24–5620), <i>O. montanum</i> (1620–5850), <i>O. oblanceolatum</i> (60–1440), <i>O. subsessile</i> (450–18,700), and <i>O. veracruzense</i> (22–3660). The available specimen of <i>Mayanaea caudata</i> had foliar Ni concentration of 5390 mg kg⁻¹. Field-collected samples of <i>O. veracruzense</i> and <i>O. subsessile</i> had similar Ni concentrations to herbarium specimens. Additionally, many <i>Orthion</i> species were facultative hyperaccumulators of cobalt. This is the first report of Ni hyperaccumulation in Violaceae from the Western Hemisphere. Ni hyperaccumulation in <i>Orthion</i> and <i>Mayanaea</i> is consistent with published phylogenies showing that they belong to a clade which also includes strong hyperaccumulators in the genus <i>Hybanthus</i> from Australia and New Caledonia. <i>Orthion subsessile</i> has suitable traits to become a potential crop for agromining of Ni.</p>","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"39 6","pages":"879-893"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1440-1703.12504","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141865031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focused on two adjacent forests, of similar physiognomy, growing on serpentinite (ultramafic rock), and on volcano-sedimentary rock. Both soils strongly differed in their pH, cation exchange capacity, and element concentration (Al, Mn, and Ni). The two adjacent forests have a diverse endemic flora and share a relatively high proportion of species (35%–42%). The tree composition differs more than the total vascular flora. Leaf element concentrations of 30 tree species that grow on both soil types, as well as the corresponding soil–plant-available nutrients, were analyzed. Leaf element concentrations indicated N, P, K, and Ca deficiency. Despite higher plant-available Mn concentration in ultramafic soil than volcano-sedimentary soil, leaf Mn concentrations were significantly higher for plants growing on volcano-sedimentary soil. Leaf Ni concentrations were higher on ultramafic soil and Al concentration was higher on volcano-sedimentary soil.

Such sophisticated behavioral coordination can be observed across various taxa, indicating evolutionary convergence. Among the most striking examples are two social insect lineages: ants and termites. Ants and termites evolved socially independently, inhabit terrestrial and subterranean environments, and face a similar collective task of maintaining their colonies with many individuals. This results in the convergent evolution of collective phenomena, such as constructing complex nest structures or movement coordination based on chemical and tactile cues. However, although the striking similarity attracts the most attention, little research has focused on how ants and termites differ in collective behaviors at individual and group levels. Here, we review the similarities and distinctions of collective behaviors in ants and termites. Even with similarities in group-level patterns, rich diversity exists in mechanisms of behavioral coordination and the functions of collective patterns. Comparative analysis of collective behavior is challenging, but recent advances in automatic movement tracking methodologies have greatly expanded the potential for generating further insights. Finally, we conclude that comparative collective behavioral analysis can enhance our ability to understand biodiversity and provide alternative solutions for collective problem-solving in many fields.</p>","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"39 5","pages":"646-658"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1440-1703.12510","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141776191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Behavior is important for evolutionary ecology because animal movement leads to dispersal, migration, search for food and mates, and escaping from enemies. However, individual differences in movement activity are found within a population. This phenomenon can be affected by various factors, one of which is suggesting that higher moving activity has fitness cost, whereas lower moving activity has benefits. Animal movement may also affect reproduction (e.g., resource allocation tradeoff between movement and reproduction as well as intra- and intersexual selection). Although many previous studies have investigated the relationship between movement and reproduction, less attention has been paid to walking movement. In this study, previous studies that investigated the relationship between movement and reproduction were reviewed using the flour beetle <i>Tribolium castaneum</i>, a model insect in behavioral ecology and genetics. Several previous studies suggest that beetle walking is strongly associated with male and female reproductive traits. In recent years, empirical studies on the correlation between walking and other traits have increased, particularly in <i>T. castaneum</i>. Although this species can fly and walk, the movement is often discussed without discriminating between flight and walk. Differences in modes of movement may affect the correlation between movement and other traits; thus, discussing each mode of movement separately is necessary.</p>","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"39 5","pages":"634-645"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1440-1703.12509","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141776192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three instruments with distinct specifications were chosen to improve the generalizability of the results, ensuring relevance to a wide range of instruments that may be used in the future for metallome analysis of herbarium specimens. Each instrument was used to scan a representative set of dried hyperaccumulator plant leaf samples, and their accuracy in quantifying elemental concentrations was then compared. The manufacturer algorithms overestimate the elemental concentrations and have the highest errors. The empirical calibrations have the closest mean concentration to the mean concentrations reported by ICP-AES, but can produce negative values. The independent pipeline performance is marginally better than the empirical calibration, but it takes substantially more time and effort to setup the Fundamental Parameters through reverse engineering the instrument hardware parameters.

Bedrock‐derived cations, including those released into the soil by weathering of bedrock minerals, generally act to neutralize acid deposition and flow out into streams. Volcanic ash, which is widespread in Japan, may also release cations and neutralize acids, but the contribution of volcanic‐ash‐derived cations is currently poorly explored. To assess the importance of volcanic ash as a source of base cations, we examined strontium in two catchments underlain by chert bedrock at Mount Amamaki, Japan. Additionally, we obtained comparative data from two sandstone‐bedrock catchments in the same area. We measured <jats:sup>87</jats:sup>Sr/<jats:sup>86</jats:sup>Sr ratios in samples of stream water, bulk precipitation, riverbed rock, and soil from the catchments.

We estimated volcanic ash in soil to contribute between 46% and 78% of stream‐water Sr for one chert‐bedrock catchment, and between 0% and 52% for the other. We conclude that volcanic ash in soil is an important source of Sr in stream water.
