Genomic responses to increased temperature and pollinator selection in Brassica rapa L.
Summary Rapid environmental change reshapes both abiotic stress and biotic interactions, yet it remains unclear how these combined forces structure plants' genomic adaptation. In particular, the joint influence of temperature and pollinator identity, two ecological axes undergoing simultaneous global shifts, has rarely been quantified at genomic ...

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

High nitrogen enrichment buffers plant photosynthesis against herbivory damage
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivorous insects and nitrogen deposition are key drivers of ecosystem productivity under global change. However, their combined effects on plant photosynthesis, particularly during insect outbreaks, remain poorly understood in natural ecosystems.

Summary Fine roots are critical for soil resource uptake, yet how declining plant diversity alters fine root biomass (RB) and traits remains unclear. We tested how plant functional trait dissimilarity in shade tolerance, drought tolerance, growth rate, and nitrogen‐fixation ability drives variation in root attributes.

We demonstrated that Anguilla japonica eDNA concentration was allometrically scaled with their body size in both the laboratory and riverine environments. Integrating body size allometry has the potential to improve population abundance estimates in the field, whereas further clarification is required for understanding eDNA production mechanisms ...

Banking Concentration and Health Performance in Developing Countries
ABSTRACT This article examines how banking concentration affects health performance in 80 emerging nations between the years 2000 and 2020. The system GMM and OLS‐FE approaches are employed. Health performance in terms of life expectancy is negatively impacted by bank concentration.

为了进一步研究水下生产系统的4种典型布局形式在工程应用中的可行性,以西非深水E油气田为例,根据其水深、油藏规模、井口数量、井网分布等,提出全干式、全湿式和半干半湿式的独立开发模式,并结合4种布局形式的特点,设计出7种水下布局方案。最终推荐全湿式的5个丛式管汇的布局CM-5-1和CM-5-2作为可选方案。在此基础上,得出水下生产系统布局的几点启示,以期为我国南海深水油气田水下生产系统的布局提供参考。

Global drivers of the conservation–invasion paradox
Abstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled
