Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

SnapShot: Microbial Extremophiles
Cell, 2020 Extremophiles are remarkable examples of life's resilience, thriving in hot springs at boiling temperatures, in brine lakes saturated with salt, and in the driest deserts. We review the biogeography, currently known limits of life, and molecular adaptations to extremes. See the online interactive map for additional detail on biogeography, environmental

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives

Phylogenetic Diversity of Archaea in Shallow Hydrothermal Vents of Eolian Islands, Italy
Diversity, 2019 Shallow hydrothermal systems (SHS) around the Eolian Islands (Italy), related to both active and extinct volcanism, are characterized by high temperatures, high concentrations of CO2 and H2S, and low pH, prohibitive for the majority of eukaryotes which ...

Characterization of DNA Polymerase from Thermus thermophilus MAT72 Phage Tt72
Proceedings, 2020 Thermophilic phages are recognized as an untapped source of thermostable enzymes relevant in biotechnology; however, their biology is poorly explored. This has led us to start a project aimed at investigating thermophilic phages isolated from geothermal ...

What we learn from extremophiles
, 2020 Extremophiles are microorganisms that love extreme conditions, such as high temperatures up to the boiling point of water or low temperatures down to below the freezing point.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.DNA damage in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris elicits distinct cellular outcomes depending on replication status. While non‐replicating cells tolerate genotoxic stress, constitutively replicating cells undergo irreversible replication failure upon DNA damage, leading to loss of tissue homeostasis, fat depletion, sterility, and organismal death ...
