Casanovas are liars : behavioral syndromes, sperm competition risk, and the evolution of deceptive male mating behavior in live-bearing fishes [version 2; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]

, 2013
Male reproductive biology can by characterized through competition over mates as well as mate choice. Multiple mating and male mate choice copying, especially in internally fertilizing species, set the stage for increased sperm competition, i.e., sperm ...

Rhizosheath Characteristics of Annual Ephemerals in Sandy and Gravelly Habitats of Northern Xinjiang Deserts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
The rhizosheath is an important root trait that plays a critical role in enhancing plant uptake of water and nutrients, contributing to the adaptation of plant species to specific environmental conditions. This study investigates the formation and characteristics of rhizosheaths in annual ephemeral plants in the desert environment of northern Xinjiang ...

Characterisation of a Self‐Sufficient Cytochrome P450 Enzyme From the Bacterium Thermosporothrix hazakensis and Its Conversion Into a Peroxygenase

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
A cytochrome P450 enzyme from the thermophile Thermosporothrix hazakensis was characterised. We modified the heme domain of the enzyme through protein engineering to enable it to function as a peroxygenase biocatalyst. We demonstrated the oxidation of fatty acids and aromatic compounds and identified the metabolites.

Isolation and Characterisation of Bacteria From an Extremely High Boron and Salinity‐Tolerant Puccinellia distans (Jacq.) Parl. Rhizosphere and Their Potential Impact on the Growth of Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Under greenhouse conditions, the boron‐tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas poae demonstrated a significant enhancement in wheat growth under boron‐induced stress. These findings highlight its promising role as a sustainable biofertiliser to bolster crop productivity in boron‐affected agroecosystems.

Laccases from Extremophiles

, 2020
Extremophilic microorganisms usually inhabit extreme ecosystems and show optimal growth under extreme conditions. Extreme conditions are defined as those far from the optimal conditions for human life. Thus, ecosystems that present very low or high temperature, pH values, or radiation index, habitats containing a NaCl concentration higher than 1.0 M ...
