Synergistic growth, metabolic products, and matrix quantification in dual-species biofilms of oral pathogens [PDF]
Journal of Applied Oral ScienceBiofilms exhibit virulence traits that promote microbial protection, such as an extracellular matrix composed of exopolysaccharides (EPS), and contribute to host tissue damage via acid production.

Polyp size predicts metabolic rates across diverse tropical coral species [PDF]
Communications BiologyBody size is a fundamental driver of metabolism, yet it remains unclear whether colonial organisms such as corals conform to the universal ¾-power scaling law. As climate change accelerates metabolic demands, characterizing these scaling relationships is

Morphometric variability of Carabidae as an indicator of ecological restoration of revitalized habitats in the European important protected landscape area of the Danube floodplains [PDF]
PeerJRevitalization measures currently represent an important tool in ecological practice for the recovery of disturbed habitats, and their effectiveness is increasingly assessed using bioindicator groups, including ground beetles (Carabidae).

Similar growth potentials of cyanobacteria and algae explain their coexistence in desert soils [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn deserts that cover one-third of the Earth’s terrain, soil cyanobacteria and algae are key carbon dioxide (CO2) fixers because few other plants can tolerate intense solar radiation, prolonged desiccation, and extreme temperature shifts.
