Dualsteric and dual‐acting modulation of muscarinic receptors by antagonist KH‐5
Abstract Background and purpose Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are key therapeutic targets, and ligands engaging both orthosteric and allosteric sites may offer improved selectivity and efficacy. Here, we investigated whether the muscarinic antagonist KH‐5 acts as a dualsteric antagonist and defined its mode of interaction with muscarinic receptors.

Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

Congruence and Compatibility in Functional Regional Taxonomy: Principles and Applications
ABSTRACT The article connects several concepts that were previously used and evaluated separately in functional regional taxonomy and in the delineation of functional regions. Typically, functional regions are not defined based on absolute values of population flows.

External structures at the nest‐site predict asymmetric architecture of nests in a mud‐building bird
In the animal kingdom, nests are essential structures and textbook examples of extended phenotypes. However, the relationship between builders, nest traits and the nest‐site remains poorly understood. We indirectly examine whether structures in the nest‐site influence nest‐building behaviour, specifically focusing on their effect on nest architecture ...

Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to

Divergent trajectories of genome architecture and chromosome evolution in ferns and angiosperms
Variation in key fern genomic traits across families, mapped onto a summary phylogenetic tree. Summary Ferns and angiosperms represent the two largest vascular plant lineages but exhibit striking genomic and ecological contrasts. We investigated whether differences in genome size, chromosome architecture, GC content, and stomatal traits reveal ...

A trait‐based integration of competition and abiotic tolerance underlies plant success
Competitive effect and abiotic tolerance show positive associations with species' niche breadth and local dominance. Summary Understanding what determines species' ecological success is a central challenge in ecology. Competitive ability and abiotic tolerance are expected to be strong predictors of species success, yet theory predicts a trade‐off ...

Sampling design and locations in Europe from the southernmost to the northernmost location: Taygetos (Greece), Manchoya (Spain), Cvrsnica (BIH), Comborsier (France), Krn (Slovenia), Dachstein (Austria), Malá Fatra (Slovakia), Jondal (Norway). Summary Climate is a major driver of fungal species distributions and community composition, yet disentangling ...

ABSTRACT Rationale Dielectric barrier discharge ionisation (DBDI) in an active‐capillary configuration (including the commercial SICRIT source) is widely used as a soft, ambient‐pressure ionisation method for vapours and gases, yet the role of water vapour in controlling reagent ion chemistry and analytical behaviour has not been mechanistically ...
