Keystone communities can rescue aquatic metacommunities influenced by pesticide contamination. [PDF]
Abstract Pesticide contamination in freshwater habitats is a major global issue, affecting water quality, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Uncontaminated habitats embedded in agricultural landscapes might act as keystone communities, with the ability to restore diversity and ecological processes in contaminated sites through dispersal.

Projections of Atmospheric Moisture Transport Over South America in a Changing Climate
End‐of‐century (2071–2100) climate projections show significant contrasts in atmospheric moisture over South America, with increased divergence over Northern Chile and Eastern Brazil and stronger convergence over the La Plata and Magdalena basins. Moisture convergence raises risks of extreme rainfall and floods, while divergence intensifies droughts ...

From Yeast to Therapeutics: Modeling Neurodegenerative Diseases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Yeast plasmids expressing human Aβ‐42, α‐syn, htt, and TDP‐43. Their fate includes an equilibrium between the endocytic pathway and aggregates that potentially disrupt endocytosis, vesicular transport, vacuolar autophagy, and mitochondrial activity. ABSTRACT Here, we review the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a powerful model organism for studying ...

Functionalizing carbon nanotubes (CNT) with the mesitylcopper (Cu‐mes) complex modifies the surface of CNT, developing Cu‐Pt alloys and Cu‐species. The result is a modified Pt electronic structure that promotes the catalytic activity of the 5 wt% Pt/CNTCu‐mes nanocatalyst for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, and oxygen reduction reaction.
