Understanding Plant Parasitism: Hydnora Africana and European Scientific Practice in the Early Nineteenth Century**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
This article will analyze the uncertainties around collecting and classifying Hydnora africana in the first half of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the distinctive dryland ecologies of South Africa, Hydnora was interpreted as strange and cryptic by Europeans primarily because it is a root parasite—a complex floral trait that was little understood.

Improving the learning experience in an undergraduate course on microbial metabolism by using an illustrated story

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 131-141, March/April 2025.
Abstract In the classroom, metabolism is often approached and received as a mundane exercise in memorization. Teaching metabolism also faces the challenge of negative perceptions that can impede learning. We sought to improve the learning experience in an undergraduate lecture course on microbial metabolism by implementing an illustrated story that ...

Sea ice decline in the Eastern Arctic results in expansion of the freshened surface layer

Frontiers in Marine Science
In this study, we report an anomalously large freshened surface layer in the Eastern Arctic during ice-free season in 2019. This freshened surface layer is formed by river discharge and sea ice meltwater and is also referred to as the Lena plume, due to ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.
