Drought resistance drives population temporal stability of annuals in drylands
We examined how functional traits determine population temporal stability in 178 populations of winter annuals across Mediterranean, semi‐arid and arid climates over 13 years. Traits conferring higher drought resistance were consistently associated with greater stability in open habitats, whereas shrub microhabitats altered or reversed this pattern ...

Balancing Barcoding and Genomics: gDNA Quality in Insect Vouchers After HotSHOT DNA Extraction
ABSTRACT DNA extraction with an alkaline buffer system called ‘HotSHOT’ is widely used for barcoding because it is rapid, inexpensive, and voucher preserving, but it remains unclear whether sufficient genomic DNA (gDNA) remains in small vouchers for downstream use in genomics.

A practical guide to characterising ecological coexistence
ABSTRACT Coexistence is simultaneously one of the most fundamental concepts of ecology, and one of the most difficult to define. A particular challenge is that, despite a well‐developed body of research, several different schools of thought have developed over the past century, leading to multiple independent, and largely isolated, branches of ...

We investigated how temperature and relative humidity influence the parasitic fungus Hesperomyces harmoniae on the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis under controlled laboratory conditions. Abiotic factors significantly affect parasitism: High relative humidity increased parasite prevalence, development rate, and load, while both low and high ...

Tooth attachment in vertebrates ranges from ligament‐based anchorage in mammals to direct fusion in many reptiles. In the veiled chameleon, we identified a transient cell population—termed ankyloblasts—at the tooth‐bone interface. These cells exhibit both odontoblast‐ and osteoblast‐like features.

Summary Exogenously applied auxins are essential for establishing cell lines in tissue cultures and maintaining their proliferation. Cell lines may develop the ability to proliferate even in media lacking auxin, they may become auxin‐habituated. This study investigated the mechanisms underlying this process.

ABSTRACT Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a neglected rodent‐borne zoonotic virus primarily infecting house mice. The virus can be highly pathogenic, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and in congenital infections. LCMV is distributed worldwide but shows local clustering, probably due to the highly structured populations of its ...

Whipped and Mixed Warm Clouds in the Deep Sea
Abstract Turbulence is indispensable to redistribute nutrients for all life forms larger than microbial, on land and in the ocean. Yet, the development of deep‐sea turbulence was not studied in three dimensions to date. As a disproportionate laboratory, an array of nearly 3,000 high‐resolution temperature sensors had been installed for three years on ...

We synthesized a series of light to heavy fluorous Hoveyda–Grubbs precatalyst analogs modified in the alkoxybenzylidene part in positions 2 and 5 by long (fluorinated) ponytails and tested their activity in ring‐closing metathesis. The substitution mostly resulted in accelerated reaction but the precatalyst stability often decreased.

Effects of Defined Pig Microbiota on Acute Salmonellosis in Gnotobiotic Piglets
Germ‐free piglets lack protective microbiota and are highly vulnerable to Salmonella Typhimurium LT2 infection. Pre‐colonization with defined pig microbiota supports early immune response and intestinal barrier maturation. By measuring pathogen spread, intestinal structure, goblet cell density, cytokines, and tight‐junction markers with molecular and ...
