Harpacticoida (Crustacea, Copepoda) across a longitudinal transect of the Vema Fracture Zone and along a depth gradient in the Puerto Rico trench [PDF]

, 2018
The aim of this study was the investigation of abundance, composition and biodiversity of benthic deep-sea Harpacticoida (Crustacea, Copepoda) in the Verna Fracture Zone (VFZ) and Puerto Rico trench. The study revealed a clear East-West gradient in total

Farmers’ Preferences for Sustainable Crop Protection: An Integrated Choice and Latent Variable Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes farmers' preferences for sustainable crop protection, focusing on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices by incorporating social‐psychological factors to capture economic and behavioral dimensions. Using data from German and Polish potato farmers, we apply an integrated choice and latent variable framework that combines

Identification of Free-living and Particle-Associated Microbial Communities Present in Hadal regions of the Mariana Trench

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Relatively few studies have described the microbial populations present in ultra-deep hadal environments, largely as a result of difficulties associated with sampling. Here we report Illumina-tag V6 16S rRNA sequence-based analyses of the free-living and

Have we so far only seen the tip of the iceberg? Exploring species diversity and distribution of the giant amphipod Eurythenes [PDF]

, 2016
Additional material of the iconic giant amphipod Eurythenes was investigated. Recently, the species E. gryllus has been separated into 12 distinct species-level lineages of which several have been described as distinct species, based on both morphology ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Prosthetic Outcomes of Implant‐Assisted Maxillary Restorations in the Edentulous Maxilla: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the prosthetic outcomes of implant‐assisted maxillary full‐arch restorations with ≥ 3 years of follow‐up. Materials and Methods A systematic electronic literature search was conducted in five databases to identify randomised controlled trials and prospective clinical studies involving patients who received full‐arch ...

Tectonically-triggered sediment and carbon export to the Hadal zone [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
AbstractSediments in deep ocean trenches may contain crucial information on past earthquake history and constitute important sites of carbon burial. Here we present 14C data on bulk organic carbon (OC) and its thermal decomposition fractions produced by ramped pyrolysis/oxidation for a core retrieved from the >7.5 km-deep Japan Trench.

Growth differentiation factor 15 mitigates lipotoxic steatosis by preserving mitochondrial morphodynamics and augmenting fatty acid oxidation in hepatocytes and liver organoids

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) has emerged as a promising metabolic regulator with hepatoprotective properties in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), yet its underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Insight Into the Pico- and Nano-Phytoplankton Communities in the Deepest Biosphere, the Mariana Trench

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
As photoautotrophs, phytoplankton are generally present in the euphotic zone of the ocean, however, recently healthy phytoplankton cells were found to be also ubiquitous in the dark deep sea, i.e., at water depths between 2000 and 4000 m.

Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.
