Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A reaction starting from two amino acids, phosphoserine and Gly, reveals a pathway to the α‐keto acid building blocks pyruvate and glyoxylate, key components of a plausible early metabolic system. A one‐pot β‐elimination and transamination sequence also initiates a cascade of protometabolic transformations that provide crucial insights into the ...

Investigating Impacts of Amino Acids on the Structural Stability of Anionic Biomembranes
Glycine and lysine interact with the anionic membrane composed of POPC and POPG (1 : 1). Lysine partitions into the membrane and induces structural alterations, while the membrane remains impermeable to it. In contrast, glycine causes no physicochemical damage and permeates through the membrane.

Abstract Microinvertebrates in harsh environments often occupy the highest trophic levels and directly influence the turnover of macroelements. However, the investigation of their body elemental composition is complicated due to their low dry weight or sample size hindering the application of established methodological approaches.

The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans
ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major

Microbial Ecology of Permafrost Soils: Populations, Processes, and Perspectives
ABSTRACT Permafrost microbial research has flourished in the past decades, due in part to improvements in sampling and molecular techniques, but also the increased focus on the permafrost greenhouse gas feedback to climate change and other ecological processes in high latitude and alpine permafrost soils.

Natural H2 and Sulfate Production via Radiolysis in Low Porosity and Permeability Crystalline Rocks
Abstract Natural hydrogen (H2) is a candidate low‐carbon energy source for society and sustains microbial ecosystems when coupled with oxidants (e.g., sulfate). In crystalline rock settings, water‐rock interactions, including radiolysis, generate both H2 and sulfate, but quantifying their production rates remains challenging when porosity and ...
