Coastal development and precipitation drive pathogen flow from land to sea: evidence from a Toxoplasma gondii and felid host system

Scientific Reports, 2016
Rapidly developing coastal regions face consequences of land use and climate change including flooding and increased sediment, nutrient and chemical runoff, but these forces may also enhance pathogen runoff, which threatens human, animal and ecosystem ...

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Assessment of Blue Carbon Storage by Baja California (Mexico) Tidal Wetlands and Evidence for Wetland Stability in the Face of Anthropogenic and Climatic Impacts

Sensors, 2017
Although saline tidal wetlands cover less than a fraction of one percent of the earth’s surface (~0.01%), they efficiently sequester organic carbon due to high rates of primary production coupled with surfaces that aggrade in response to sea level rise ...

High Fracture Toughness of 1D Copper‐Based MOP Electrode Enables Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Traditional electrode materials suffer from particle cracking and rapid capacity fade during fast charging, largely originating from their low fracture toughness. This work introduces a one‐dimensional Cu‐based metal–organic polymer, in which strong π‐d conjugation and π–π stacking endow the framework with high fracture toughness, simultaneously ...
