Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

Ring or No Ring—Revisiting the Multiphase Nuclear Environment in M31

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Nuclear rings, prevalent in barred galaxies, are essential to understanding gas transport toward galactic nuclei. However, the peculiar nuclear ring in our neighboring galaxy M31 remains poorly understood.

From cities to refuges for pollinators: Urban practices for enhancing pollinator habitats in changing landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
A framework for the support of pollinators in urban areas is developed here, based on five pillars: nesting, flower resources, artificial support, management and society acceptance, with additional key elements from science and society. Society should incorporate strategies for pollinators as in this framework by means of co‐planning with stakeholders,

Gut Mycobiota of Three Rhinopithecus Species Provide New Insights Into the Association Between Diet and Environment

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed the basic structures of gut mycobiota of three wild Rhinopithecus species. The gut mycobiota of Rhinopithecus showed close connection with their feeding habits, and there were associations between gut mycobiota and the host's living environments.

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Age‐Associated Decline in Autophagy Pathways in the Retinal Pigment Epithelium and Protective Effects of Topical Trehalose in Light‐Induced Outer Retinal Degeneration in Mice

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
Transcriptomic analyses reveal an age‐related decline in autophagy pathways in RPE/choroid. These pathways remain unchanged in early AMD but become bidirectionally dysregulated in later stages, along with increased RPE loss. Pre‐treatment with trehalose eyedrops enhances RPE autophagy flux and prevents light‐induced outer retinal degeneration in mice ...
