ABSTRACT The Florisian Land Mammal Age (FLMA; 773‐12 ka) is characterised by specialist, often extinct, grazing as well as wetland species, many of which are no longer present in the southern African interior. Middle Pleistocene FLMA faunal assemblages are rare, particularly those associated with artefacts, limiting reconstruction of environmental ...

An aminostratigraphy of the northern Upper Rhine Graben, Germany
ABSTRACT The northern Upper Rhine Graben (Germany) contains a complex, quasi‐continuous Quaternary record, but constraining its chronology is challenging. This study presents the first application of amino acid geochronology for this region using Bithynia opercula to establish a relative dating framework.

Abstract BACKGROUND To elucidate the impact of environmental factors on the nutritional quality of metabolites in wheat seedlings, both primary and secondary metabolites must be comprehensively examined. We thus conducted a comparative analysis of these metabolites in wheat seedlings grown under various photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD) (200,

Heterotrophic dependence and bidirectional metabolite exchange dynamics in a temperate coral
Abstract In temperate ecosystems, where cold, turbid waters constrain symbiotic potential, corals have evolved facultative symbiosis, providing an opportunity to explore coral energetics in the face of global climate change. We conducted an in situ light exclusion experiment on the facultatively symbiotic temperate coral Astrangia poculata to explore ...

An ecological framework for microbial metabolites in the ocean ecosystem
Abstract The ocean microbe‐metabolite network involves thousands of individual metabolites that encompass a breadth of chemical diversity and biological functions. These microbial metabolites mediate biogeochemical cycles, facilitate ecological relationships, and impact ecosystem health. While analytical advancements have begun to illuminate such roles,

Triblock Polyampholyte‐Based Nanovesicles for Targeted Spleen Delivery
Polymeric nanovesicles, assembled from triblock polyampholytes, exhibit unilamellar structure and enhanced stability through membrane cross‐linking. These nanovesicles demonstrate prolonged blood circulation and selective accumulation in the spleen after intravenous injection in mice, highlighting their potential for targeted drug delivery applications.
