Species traits mediate the abundant‐center patterns in ground‐dwelling mammal and bird species in China

Ecography, EarlyView.
The abundance center hypothesis (ACH) posits that species abundance peaks at distribution centers; however, empirical support remains inconsistent. This study tested the generality of the ACH and investigated species traits as mediators of abundance–distance relationships.

The studies on the endemic hypericum species from Turkey

, 2018
The genus Hypericum(Hypericaceae), inclusive about 450 species, has spread in various parts of theworld. The members of this species have been used for centuries as traditionalmedicinal plants. Turkey is an important gene center for the genus Hypericum which represented by nearly100 taxa grouped under 19 sections.

Inverse sky islands: lowland river valleys drive microbial divergence while high elevations select for convergence in massive mountain ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mountain ecosystems are often interpreted through the lens of the ‘sky island' model, where high‐elevation habitats function as isolated archipelagos. However, this model's applicability to massive, topographically complex mountain ranges where highlands are continuous and lowlands are fragmented remains untested.

Role of selenium in the pathophysiology of cardiorenal anaemia syndrome

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 770-780, April 2025.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have multiple bidirectional mechanisms, and anaemia is one of the critical factors that are associated with the progression of the two disorders [referred to as cardiorenal anaemia syndrome (CRAS)].

When endemic coral-reef fish species serve as models: endemic mimicry patterns in the Marquesas Islands

, 2016
International audienceThis article documents several cases of widespread species, which usually mimic other widespread species throughout the Indo–Pacific, using endemic Marquesan species as a model and displaying endemic mimicry patterns. This discovery

Total Synthesis of Sacrolide A and Cytotoxic Evaluation

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Isolated from the edible cyanobacterium Aphanothece sacrum, sacrolide A is a highly potent antimicrobial and cytotoxic metabolite. Its total synthesis via a convergent strategy enabled accurate assessment of its effects on liver and colon cells, offering new insights into its bioactivity and potential health risks.

Exploring phylogeny and genomic vulnerability of Melastoma (Melastomataceae) endemic to a World Natural Heritage site, the Bonin Islands

Scientific Reports
Melastoma (Melastomataceae) includes ca. 100 species across tropical to subtropical regions of Asia and Oceania. The Bonin Islands harbor three endemic taxa: M. tetramerum, M. tetramerum var. pentapetalum, and M. candidum var. alessandrense. Of these, M.

Bird species richness and diversity at montane Important Bird Area (IBA) sites in south-eastern Nigeria

, 2010
The mountains of south-eastern Nigeria are a western extension of the Cameroon mountain range, which is classified as an endemic bird area (EBA). Unlike its eastern extension in Cameroon, most of the ornithological surveys in the western extension of the

Nano‐Silver‐Selenium Liquid Dressing Facilitates Treatment of Monkeypox and Prevention of Viral Transmission in a Surrogate Mouse Model

Exploration, EarlyView.
There is no effective method to treat this virus and prevent its transmission. To address this, we have developed a nano‐silver‐selenium liquid dressing (AgSe@LD) by combining silver and selenium nanoparticles with commercial liquid dressings. This unique AgSe@LD formulation exhibits good adhesion, stability and toughness and demonstrates efficient ...
