Ecosystem retrogression enhances cross‐domain microbial stability and increases the genetic potential for nutrient cycling

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem retrogression drives nutrient depletion, reduced productivity, and profound reorganization of soil microbial communities. Using amplicon sequencing and genome‐resolved metagenomics, we examined how cross‐domain microbial networks and functional gene potential respond to long‐term phosphorus and nitrogen limitation along the well ...

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 ...

A phylogenomic framework for charting the diversity and evolution of giant viruses

PLoS Biology, 2021
Large DNA viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota have recently emerged as important members of ecosystems around the globe that challenge traditional views of viral complexity.

Urban wild meat and pangolin consumption across southern forested Cameroon: The limited influence of COVID‐19

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Overexploitation of wildlife is pervasive in many tropical regions, and in addition to being a significant conservation and sustainability concern, it has received global attention given discussions over the origins of zoonotic disease outbreaks.

Rounded Monodisperse Fluorescent Nanodiamonds

Small, EarlyView.
Nanodiamond (ND) shape control using rapid molten‐nitrate etching is studied as a scale‐up method for monodispersed rounded particles. Optimal etching condition (567°C for 6 min) yields NDs with atomically stepped surfaces and reduced sp2 content. Compared to angular control, rounded NDs exhibit an increased proportion of luminescent particles (66% vs.

Transposons as Tools for Future Genome Engineering in Yeasts and Filamentous Fungi

Yeast, EarlyView.
Applications of transposon‐based tools for genome engineering in fungi include transposon‐mediated mutagenesis and targeted genomic integration. ABSTRACT Transposons are fundamental genetic elements that have profoundly shaped the architecture of eukaryotic genomes.

Direct deposition on pre‐cooled grids: a new approach to sub‐millisecond cryoEM grid preparation

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
We describe a new method to prepare grids for cryoEM on the sub‐millisecond timescale.There has been a rapid expansion in new approaches to sample preparation for single‐particle cryoEM. One drive has been around speeding up the process both for the application of time‐resolved studies and in outrunning some of the negative effects which may come from ...

Mimivirus transcription and translation occur at well-defined locations within amoeba host cells

Journal of Virology
Many giant viruses replicate in the cytoplasm in viral factories. How exactly these viral factories are established and where the different steps of the replication cycle occur remain largely obscure.

Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198—A Promising Strain for Studying Pathogenesis of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM‐PD)

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this review, we introduce a promising strain for studying pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD), Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198. M.i.198 was isolated from a patient with progressive Mycobacterium avium‐intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC‐PD) in whom surgical operation was required to ...

EVICT, NEGLECT, OR INVEST? Community Power and the Politics of Urban Informality Governance in Jakarta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Why do some informal neighborhoods receive public investment while others are neglected or evicted? This article addresses the inconsistent governmental responses to informal settlements in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the democratic period. State actions range from violent evictions to tolerance and community‐led improvements.
