Nutritional effects on the expression of cryptic pigmentation in freshwater isopods
Oikos, EarlyView.Cryptic pigmentation is a key phenotypic adaptation that helps many benthic invertebrates evade visual predators. However, little is known about whether and how the expression of pigmentation phenotypes that match the habitat background is influenced by the availability of nutritional resources.

Radiolytic hydrogen production in the subseafloor basaltic aquifer
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Hydrogen (H2) is produced in geological settings by dissociation of water due to radiation from radioactive decay of naturally occurring uranium (238U, 235U), thorium (232Th) and potassium (40K). To quantify the potential significance of radiolytic H2 as

Bridging the gap: Why positive values are not enough for human–bear coexistence
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Amid escalating and complex human–wildlife conflicts driven by global environmental change, understanding the psychosocial drivers of human tolerance is paramount for effective coexistence strategies. This study investigated the determinants of human tolerance towards the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) in Gaoligong Mountains, China, a ...
