Assessing Intraspecific Variation of Tree Species Based on Sentinel-2 Vegetation Indices Across Space and Time by Tiziana L. Koch, Martina L. Hobi, Felix Morsdorf, Alexander Damm, Dominique Weber, Marius Rüetschi, Jan D. Wegner, Lars T. Waser

“…However, large-scale, continuous monitoring of intraspecific variation remains challenging. Here, we present a remote sensing approach using Sentinel-2 time series of five vegetation indices as proxies for pigment content, canopy structure, and water content to detect intraspecific variation in seven tree species across a broad environmental gradient in Switzerland. …”

High Microsatellite but No Mitochondrial DNA Variation in an Invasive Japanese Mainland Population of the Parasitoid Wasp Melittobia sosui by Jun Abe, Jun‐ichi Takahashi, Koji Tsuchida

“…The difference in genetic variation between mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA in the invasive populations may be explained by the faster mutation rate of microsatellites, as well as the population structure of Melittobia, in which the subdivision into small inbreeding lineages may facilitate the accumulation of mutations. …”

Spatiotemporal Variations in Nectar Robbing and Its Effects on Reproduction in <i>Salvia castanea</i> Diels (Lamiaceae) by Han-Wen Xiao, Yan-Bo Huang

“…Nectar robbing typically reduces nectar availability to pollinators, damages flower structure, and/or induces secondary robbing. Consequently, it may reduce pollen deposition and seed set, increase pollination efficiency and outcrossing, and/or not affect reproduction in some species. …”

What the Owls Leave Behind: Pellet Size Variation Reflects Predator Body Size in Israel’s Owls by Ezra Hadad, Piotr Zduniak, Reuven Yosef

“…Pellet measurements were analyzed in relation to the average body length of each species, revealing significant interspecific variation in all three dimensions. Statistical analyses confirmed strong positive correlations between body size and pellet length (r = 0.95), breadth (r = 0.91), and mass (r = 0.96), highlighting the influence of morphological constraints on pellet structure. …”

Searching for Stellar Activity Cycles Using Flares: The Short- and Long-timescale Activity Variations of TIC-272272592 by Tobin M. Wainer, James R. A. Davenport, Guadalupe Tovar Mendoza, Adina D. Feinstein, Tom Wagg

“…Such slow changes in surface magnetic activity are potential indicators of solar-like activity cycles, which can yield important information about the structure of the stellar dynamo. We find that while TIC-272272592 shows evidence for both short- and long-timescale variations in its flare activity, it is unlikely physically motivated. …”
