Bryozoan‐Rich Carbonate Units of the Erfoud Area (SE Morocco) Record Latest Katian to Early Hirnantian Interglacial Intervals

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we re‐examine the depositional architecture of the Erfoud limestone in Morocco. Introducing new biostratigraphic constraints from chitinozoan assemblages, we show that Katian to Hirnantian bryozoan‐pelmatozoan meadows reflect flooding events linked to a series of interglacial transgressions known to have occurred immediately prior to the

Underrecognized Q fever and rickettsial diseases across China

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Q fever and rickettsial diseases are underrecognized causes of fever of unknown origin in China, with Coxiella burnetii and Orientia tsutsugamushi predominating. We identify Rickettsia bellii‐like sequences in human clinical specimens and highlight unexpected pediatric detections that warrant further investigation of possible exposure patterns ...

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.

The Crude Venom of the Whitetail Lancehead, Bothrops leucurus, and Two of Its Enzymatic Components Are Selectively Cytotoxic for Glioma Cells In Vitro

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malignant glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains its most aggressive and incurable form. Snake venoms contain bioactive compounds with promising antitumoral properties against several cancer types.

Novel Target for Pathogenic Leptospira Detection via Colorimetric Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP): Development, Validation, and Comparative Analysis

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A novel colorimetric LAMP assay targeting the org‐hp gene was developed for rapid Leptospira detection. The assay is performed in a simple water bath at 65°C for 90 min, and results can be interpreted by a color change visible to the naked eye. This method provides a sensitive, specific, and field‐adaptable diagnostic tool for use in resource‐limited ...

Pollen Morphology of Crucianella L. (Rubiaceae) Based on Light and Scanning Electron Microscope Data and Implications for Taxonomy

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
This study provides the palynological analysis of 12 Crucianella L. taxa using LM and SEM. Variations in pollen size, aperture number, and exine ornamentation were identified as key traits, demonstrating their taxonomic value for distinguishing closely related species and subspecies within the genus. ABSTRACT Crucianella L.

Embryonic Development in Two High‐Elevation Oviparous Lizard Species: Contrasting Strategies for Coping With Cold Climates

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to local climates is crucial for predicting their responses to climate change. The cold climate of high elevations constitutes a physiological challenge for reptiles, especially during the embryonic stages of oviparous species, because embryos have limited ability to thermoregulate behaviorally. To examine how

Environmental Suitability of the Sicilian Pond Turtle (Emys trinacris): An Approach Based on Bioclimatic and Environmental Variables for the Conservation of Sicilian Endemism

Animals
Emys trinacris, the Sicilian pond turtle, is a species endemic to the island of Sicily. Despite its global and Italian distribution aligning, E. trinacris is classified as “Data Deficient” by the IUCN Red List, but “Endangered” on the Italian Red List ...

Holocene vegetation dynamics of Grande Terre (Kerguelen Islands) inferred from sedimentary ancient DNA

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the Antarctic region has experienced significant climatic changes over the Holocene, few high‐resolution records have examined their effects on the local biota. In order to understand past ecological shifts and forecast future changes, it is important to obtain high‐resolution palaeoecological records from this region.
