Managed and Unmanaged Pinus sylvestris Forest Stands Harbour Similar Diversity and Composition of the Phyllosphere and Soil Fungi

Microorganisms, 2020
The aim was to assess fungal communities associated with living needles and soil of Pinus sylvestris in managed and unmanaged forest stands to get a better understanding of whether and how different intensities of forest management affects fungal ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Community composition drives siderophore dynamics in multispecies bacterial communities

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Abstract Background Intraspecific public goods are commonly shared within microbial populations, where the benefits of public goods are largely limited to closely related conspecifics. One example is the production of iron-scavenging siderophores that deliver iron to cells via specific cell envelope receptor and ...

Temporal stability responses to nitrogen addition in Tibetan alpine grasslands: A community composition perspective

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Plant community composition typically undergoes progressive changes along environmental gradients. However, most experimental studies have focused on individual communities, so it remains unclear how exogenous nutrient inputs affect the stability of ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

A comparison of eDNA sampling methods in an estuarine environment on presence of longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) and fish community composition

Environmental DNA
The loss of tidal wetlands in the San Francisco Bay estuary have led to declines in native fish presence. Restoration of tidal wetlands in this area has intensified, with a primary goal of increasing the number of native fishes.

Effect of land use on soil nematode community composition and co-occurrence network relationship

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Land use influences soil biota community composition and diversity, and then belowground ecosystem processes and functions. To characterize the effect of land use on soil biota, soil nematode communities in crop land, forest land and fallow land were ...

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Spatiotemporal variability in reef ecology and herbivore impacts in the East Portland Special Fishery Conservation Area, northeast Jamaica (2017-2024)

Frontiers in Marine Science
The East Portland Special Fishery Conservation Area (EPSFCA) is a no-take marine reserve in northeast Jamaica, established in 2016. The region is historically understudied and lacks ecological data critical for evaluating conservation outcomes.

Parasitoid Abundance and Community Composition in Desert Vineyards and Their Adjacent Natural Habitats

Insects, 2020
Parasitoids are important natural enemies of many agricultural pests. Preserving natural habitats around agricultural fields may support parasitoid populations.
