Pd–Fe nanoparticles exhibit Fe segregation that, upon exposure to ambient conditions, leads to the formation of Pd/FeOx core–shell structures. The resulting ultrathin FeOx shells induce glassy magnetic behavior in nanoparticle films. These results demonstrate how intrinsic segregation combined with oxidation governs the structure and magnetic ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer and Genome Rearrangements Shape Bacterial Adaptation for Bioremediation
Exposure to xenobiotics triggers genome evolution and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), driving the acquisition of novel catabolic functions. These genomic adaptations provide a competitive fitness advantage that reshapes microbial community structure and enhances biodegradation impact.

ABSTRACT In Spain, under General Franco's regime, homosexuality was regarded as an antisocial and dangerous behaviour. It was thus pursued both by the police and judicial courts. The Law on Vagrants and Crooks (1954) and, subsequently, the Law on Dangerousness and Social Rehabilitation (1970) constituted the legal mechanisms used by the dictatorship to

To release or not to release? A call for caution when considering wildlife reintroductions
Conservation efforts often focus on flagship species and short‐term measures such as captive breeding and reintroductions, yet these approaches may benefit from being complemented with a broader view of the factors that influence long‐term recovery. Using examples from management programs in the Iberian Peninsula, we highlight the value of considering ...

Expanding organic farming across the EU and UK could cut fertilizer use and improve some degraded soils, but comes with lower crop yields—driven largely by crop rotation shifts—and a modest decline in soil carbon. Increased use of nitrogen‐fixing cover crops could help maintain soil carbon and boost yields, but at the cost of greater nitrogen losses to

Based on a global analysis of 1921 soil samples, we show that agricultural management acts as a powerful ecological filter reshaping microbial communities. Land use and inputs—pesticides and fertilizers—drive a functional shift toward opportunistic pathogens and fragmented, less connected microbial networks, potentially compromising soil ecosystem ...

Incubation is vital for avian embryo development but demands significant parental investment, potentially at the cost of self‐maintenance and immune function. For example, the acute phase response (APR), a systemic reaction against inflammation, infection or tissue injury, can trigger sickness behaviours such as reduced activity and foraging.

Exploring drivers and costs of partial trans‐Saharan migration in juvenile vultures
Partial migration occurs when only a subset of individuals within a population undertakes a migratory journey. The decision to migrate can be influenced by intrinsic traits (e.g. sex or physical condition) as well as by extrinsic factors (e.g. social environment or resource availability).

ABSTRACT Infants born preterm present a higher likelihood of differences in social and emotional communication. Crying, as the earliest form of human communication, may provide valuable information about early neurodevelopment. Understanding its acoustic characteristics and how caregivers perceive it can help identify early patterns linked to ...

ABSTRACT Background Influenza causes 650,000 deaths, 3–5 million hospitalizations, and 1 billion cases worldwide each year. There is a limited repertoire of antivirals available to tackle this burden, highlighting the risk of developing resistance to current drugs.
