Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

ERGA-BGE chromosome-level genome assembly of the giant stream lacewing Osmylus fulvicephalus (Scopoli, 1763) [version 2; peer review: 3 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Open Research Europe
The giant stream lacewing, Osmylus fulvicephalus (Scopoli, 1763), is a widespread European species belonging to the insect order Neuroptera. Its cryptic larvae are predators found at the banks of streams and smaller rivers where they use their piercing ...

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

ERGA-BGE reference genome of the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus), an IUCN Vulnerable species [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Open Research Europe
The Mediterranean monk seal, Monachus monachus, is the only pinniped that lives in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the rarest marine mammals in the world. The species was recently classified as “vulnerable” by the IUCN, considering an improvement in its

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Associations of cannabis use, tobacco use and co‐use with brain volume: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug worldwide and is often co‐used with tobacco, the leading cause of preventable death. Although cannabis and tobacco have distinct neurobiological actions, their associations with brain volumes are unclear.

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways

Allergy, EarlyView.
Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures.

Distinct Skin Penetration and Immune Responses to Ionic and Nanoparticulate Cobalt in Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Allergy, EarlyView.
Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) and cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) induce a shared, severity‐dependent inflammatory response in cobalt‐sensitized skin characterized by activation of interferon signaling, inflammatory pathways (TNF/NF‐κβ, IL6‐STAT3), apoptosis/UPR, cell cycle programs, and glycolysis.

Taxonomy Identifiers (TaxId) for Biodiversity Genomics: a guide to getting TaxId for submission of data to public databases [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research
Biodiversity genomics critically depends on correct taxonomic identification of the sample from which data are derived. Tracking of that taxonomic information through systems that archive data and report on genome sequencing efforts.

The Testicular Cancer Consortium (TECAC): Filling Knowledge Gaps in the Genetic Etiology of Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The Testicular Cancer Consortium (TECAC) was established in 2012 and is comprised of researchers from over 25 centers in Europe and North America. TECAC's overarching goal is to investigate the genetic susceptibility of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) to better understand their biology, impact prevention strategies, and inform ...
