Defining the combined stress response in wild Arachis
Scientific Reports, 2021 Nematodes and drought are major constraints in tropical agriculture and often occur simultaneously. Plant responses to these stresses are complex and require crosstalk between biotic and abiotic signaling pathways.

Latitude impacts continental acidity, biotic crisis and recovery.
Abstract Volcanism from large igneous provinces leads to increases in the Earth’s surface temperature and acidity, thus triggering mass extinction events. However, the dependence of acidity on latitudinal position has remained underexplored and is key to better understand, and react to, global environmental changes today.

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.

The Interplay of Dispersion and Thermal Shock in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Biofilms
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pathological bacterial biofilms formed on medical implants pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to their resistance to antibiotics and the host immune response. Eradication of these biofilms by thermal shock has gained increasing attention as a means of eliminating these infections.

Identifying “vital attributes” for assessing disturbance–recovery potential of seafloor communities
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Despite a long history of disturbance–recovery research, we still lack a generalizable understanding of the attributes that drive community recovery potential in seafloor ecosystems. Marine soft‐sediment ecosystems encompass a range of heterogeneity from

Ecography, EarlyView.Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities
Ecography, EarlyView.Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

Local adaptation of aboveground herbivores towards plant phenotypes induced by soil biota [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Soil biota may trigger strong physiological responses in plants and consequently induce distinct phenotypes. Plant phenotype, in turn, has a strong impact on herbivore performance.

Ecography, EarlyView.The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...
