Mediterranean octocoral populations exposed to marine heatwaves are less resilient to disturbances. [PDF]
We demonstrate that marine heat waves decrease the resilience of Mediterranean octocorals to further disturbances. Abstract The effects of climate change are now more pervasive than ever. Marine ecosystems have been particularly impacted by climate change, with marine heatwaves (MHWs) being a strong driver of mass mortality events.

When resilience is not enough: 2022 extreme marine heatwave threatens climatic refugia for a habitat-forming Mediterranean octocoral. [PDF]
We are convinced that this paper can contribute to a better comprehension of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. We describe how Marine Heat Waves, which have been increasing in frequency, extent and intensity during the last decades, can negatively affect habitat‐forming species over time. Abstract Climate change is impacting ecosystems

β-Galactosidase-Triggered Photodynamic Elimination of Senescent Cells with a Boron Dipyrromethene-Based Photosensitizer. [PDF]
A tailor‐made photosensitizer based on boron dipyrromethene conjugated with a galactose moiety through a self‐immolative linker has been designed and synthesized. It exhibits a selective response toward the senescence‐associated β‐galactosidase, rendering it an efficient theranostic behavior for detection and photodynamic elimination of senescent cells

The targeted delivery of the new pan‐inflammasome inhibitor MM01 using gated mesoporous silica nanoparticles results in a greater resolution of uncontrolled inflammation and lung injury in ALI mice model. The results confirm that the combination of nanomedicine and a new pharmacological strategy can be an attractive approach to limit ALI and overcome ...

Interspecific differences in microhabitat use expose insects to contrasting thermal mortality
Abstract Ecotones linking open and forested habitats contain multiple microhabitats with varying vegetal structures and microclimatic regimes. Ecotones host many insect species whose development is intimately linked to the microclimatic conditions where they grow (e.g., the leaves of their host plants and the surrounding air).

Our results confirm E. bazae as a well‐differentiated species and show that its two disjunct populations, regarded as subspecies, are genetically differentiated and should be treated as independent management units. Climate models under two future emission scenarios suggest an increase of the area climatically suitable.

Metrics are needed to assess the ecological status of dynamic river ecosystems—including those that sometimes dry—and thus to identify priority sites requiring action to tackle the causes of environmental degradation. Our results inform recommendations guiding the development of such metrics.

Forest and water policy integration: A process and output‐oriented policy network analysis
Abstract Natural resource management requires cross‐sectoral policy integration because the scope of current environmental and sustainability issues surpasses traditional sectoral boundaries. While the emergence of policy networks in such cases has been observed in the policy integration literature, little is known about how these networks are formed ...

Using aerial thermography to map terrestrial thermal environments in unprecedented detail
Abstract The accurate quantification of thermal environments is crucial for predicting the impacts of climate change across ecosystems. Two major obstacles exist in mapping biologically relevant thermal landscapes: (1) overcoming the mismatch between the scale at which environmental data are typically collected and the scale at which a particular ...

The phenomenon of “Plant Awareness Disparity”—often defined as people's inability to notice, recognize, and appreciate plants and their significance—has been described as one of the greatest challenges that botanists face in our joint mission to address the social‐ecological crisis of our time.
