Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Latitude-dependent oxygen fugacity in arc magmas
The redox state of arc mantle has been considered to be more oxidized and diverse than that of the mid-ocean ridge, but the cause of the variation is debated.

Arc magma formation through the fluid-fluxed mélange melting in subduction zones
The transport of subducted slab materials to the overlying mantle plays a crucial role in arc magma formation. However, the contributions of aqueous fluids, hydrous melts, or mélange to the convective mantle remain controversial due to the lack of ...

Tomato plants control leaf sodium levels to limit damage by Spodoptera littoralis larvae
Summary Sodium is an essential element for animal growth and survival. Here we test the hypothesis that plants exposed to insect feeding can translocate sodium from the feeding site to other plant organs as a defense strategy against phytophagous insects, which need sodium in their diet.

Ophiolites in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt record Cambrian subduction initiation processes
Subduction initiation remains elusive because no present example exists. Ophiolites formed over nascent subduction zones in the past provide the key to constraining the processes of subduction initiation.

Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...

Abstract The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a key regulator of the Earth's climate. Here using water hosing experiments with a coupled climate model, we show that a weakened AMOC leads to a significant boreal winter upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) warming over the extratropical North Pacific (ENP).
