Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Clay minerals evidences for cold-warm fluctuations in the Early Silurian.

PLoS ONE
The Late Ordovician and Early Silurian transition is an important period of geological evolution, attracting increasing attentions. However, the cause for the biotic recovery from the end-Ordovician mass extinction has remained controversial.

Brewing By-Products: Source, Nature, and Handling in the Dawn of a Circular Economy Age

Biomass
The brewing industry generates vast amounts of by-products of biotic and abiotic nature that require proper handling to reduce their environmental footprint annually. Simultaneously, and in alignment with the current circular economy dynamics, there is a

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Common bean pan-genome reveals abundant variation patterns and relationships of stress response genes and pathways

BMC Genomics
Long-term geographical isolation and the different directions of domestication can cause a large number of genome variations. Population genetic analysis based on a single reference genome cannot capture all the variation information.

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Phantom citations: An empirical study of non‐existent and unverifiable references in scholarly literature

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The integrity of scholarly communication depends critically on the accuracy and verifiability of cited references. Citations enable readers to trace prior work, assess evidence, and situate new contributions within the existing literature. However, concerns have emerged regarding the presence of references in published papers that cannot be ...

Canopy-Forming Macroalgae Facilitate Recolonization of Sub-Arctic Intertidal Fauna and Reduce Temperature Extremes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Ice can be an important structuring factor physically removing intertidal flora and fauna. At high latitudes in particular, the removal of canopy-forming algae by ice scour may be important as their canopy may serve to modify the extreme environment for ...
