Optimization of Ultrasound‐Assisted Extraction of Seabuckthorn (Hippophae salicifolia) Seed Oil With the Use of Response Surface Methodology

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE) of seabuckthorn seed oil enhanced yield (17.95%), antioxidant activity (IC50: 5.25 μg/mL), and carotenoid content (266.63 mg/100 g). The oil, rich in unsaturated fatty acids (83.15%), exhibited superior quality, thermal stability, and potential applications in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, making UAE a ...

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

The Azores - A Forgotten Biodiversity Hotspot

, 2001
Les Azores sont un « hotspot » de biodiversite, mais les recherches internationales de biodiversite en ne tiennent pas compte. La biodiversite considerable des Azores n' est pas menace par des pressions humaines, comme par exemple aux iles Canaries. Mais il y a certains problemes de conseration du milieu dus aux phenomenes d'invasion biologique.

Biodiversity as a Dominant Force in Shaping Ethnic Music Styles 生物多样性:塑造民族音乐风格的主导力量

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Our findings show that plant, bird, and mammal diversity considerably shape musical features such as vocal range and ornamental sounds, more so than geography or lifestyle. Our study provides the first empirical evidence linking biodiversity to ethnic music styles. Protecting biodiversity, the musical and cultural will be protected.
