Rootstock genetic background in almond cultivation influences the composition of root-associated microbial communities and enrichment of taxa associated with plant defense and nutrient availability
No full textBeneficial root microorganisms play a crucial role in influencing key agronomic traits in rootstocks. However, little is known about the microbial communities naturally associated with almond rootstocks in Spain. To address this gap, we sampled roots of six commercial Prunus rootstocks in a 15-year-old almond orchard representing two different genetic backgrounds: P. cerasifera background (PCB) with Rootpac® 20, and Rootpac® R; and P. persica background (PPB), with Cadaman, Garnem, GF677, and Rootpac® 40. Root-associated bacterial, fungal, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities were evaluated applying a metabarcoding approach.This research was supported by ADAPTEX, a project funded by Climate Funds from the Government of Catalonia, and TED2021-130185B-I00 project, funded by MICIU/AEI/https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 and European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The role of self-care in perceptions of satisfaction with life, organisational job satisfaction, and self-efficacy in zoo and aquarium professionals
No full textThis research sheds light on how professionals with different roles in zoos and aquariums perceive individual and organisational job satisfaction, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with life, and which types of self-care contribute to these variables. This was achieved through a mixed methods approach of a survey (completed by 442 participants) and follow-up interviews (in 39 participants) with recruitment across 23 organisations. For the single question, I am satisfied with my job (reflecting individual job satisfaction), 44% of participants responded somewhat agree and 27% responded strongly agree, indicating that most participants (71%, n = 442) were satisfied with their job, and this was particularly true for those who considered their job a calling. Differences across job roles were found, with the largest variability for those in Junior animal caregiver positions, and with CEOs reporting the highest median of individual job satisfaction scores. A very weak positive significant relationship exists between self-efficacy and levels of organisational job satisfaction, which may be explained by the fact that this relationship is complex and multifaceted. A weak positive significant relationship between self-efficacy and satisfaction with life and a moderate positive relationship between organisational job satisfaction and satisfaction with life were also identified. The Generalised Linear Model analyses revealed that only one factor, Experience, and contributed to all independent variables (i.e., total satisfaction with life, mean organisational job satisfaction, and total self-efficacy), suggesting that participants with more time in the field reported higher total satisfaction with life, organisational job satisfaction, and levels of total self-efficacy. Various types of self-care (physical, emotional, spiritual, and workplace) were also significant positive contributors to satisfaction with life, but only workplace self-care contributed positively to organisational job satisfaction, whereas only intellectual self-care contributed positively to self-efficacy. Thematic analyses of the interview data contextualised the findings, with specific examples. This study contributes important empirical data that provides guidance for developing holistic employee wellbeing programs, continued professional development, and more appropriately aligned education to improve overall wellbeing of zoo and aquarium personnel.The author(s) declare that financial support was received for the research and/or publication of this article.

Effects of landscape complexity on biodiversity of rice agroecosystems: A meta-analysis
Get PDFAgricultural intensification is one of the primary drivers of landscape simplification and biodiversity loss. Understanding how different taxa respond to landscape complexity is key to address the challenge of enhancing biodiversity while sustaining food production. We performed a global-scale meta-analysis of biodiversity and landscape relationships, yielding 456 effect sizes from 18 papers across 9 countries. We specifically explored the effect across different taxonomic groups (2 vertebrate and 6 invertebrate orders) and landscape complexity dimensions (composition, configuration, heterogeneity). Despite the high heterogeneity among the data, we found a positive effect of landscape complexity on rice-associated biodiversity, yet the magnitude and sign of effects contrasted among specific orders and landscape dimensions. For instance, among vertebrates only amphibians showed a positive response to landscape composition. Among invertebrates, spiders and beetles responded positively to compositional complexity while true bugs responded negatively to configurational complexity. Our results suggest that promoting landscape compositional complexity at large spatial scales overall benefits biological communities in rice agroecosystems, specifically in major rice-producing regions. Yet the negative impact of configurational heterogeneity observed for certain groups of insects (i.e., true bugs) indicate that the spatial arrangement and degree of fragmentation of rice habitats is also an important factor shaping biodiversity outcomes. This highlights the need of considering different landscape dimensions and multiple groups of animals simultaneously when designing large scale habitat management plans to avoid potential trade-offs and maximize biodiversity in rice agroecosystems.This research was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise (MINECO) through the Grant PID2023-151621OR-I00.
