Invasive Plants and Species Richness Impact Litter Decomposition in Riparian Zones
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Natural ecosystems generally include litter decomposition as part of the natural cycle since the material properties and the environment greatly influence the decomposition rate.

Paternal Circadian Disruption Impairs Offspring Cognition via Sperm microRNAs
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Paternal circadian disruption remodels the sperm small RNA payload, elevating miR‐92a‐3p/miR‐25‐3p levels and perturbing early embryonic gene regulatory programs. Microinjection experiments and single‐embryo transcriptomics reveal sex‐specific developmental vulnerabilities, ultimately impairing offspring hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognition ...

Free atmospheric CO2 enrichment increased above ground biomass but did not affect symbiotic N2-fixation and soil carbon dynamics in a mixed deciduous stand in Wales [PDF]
, 2011 Through increases in net primary production (NPP), elevated CO2 is hypothesizes to increase the amount of plant litter entering the soil. The fate of this extra carbon on the forest floor or in mineral soil is currently not clear.

Neuid: A Novel Neuron‐Enriched LncRNA that Connects Epigenetic Gene Silencing to Alzheimer's Disease
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The increasing evidence that non‐coding RNAs can become deregulated during pathogenesis is dramatically expanding the space for drug discovery beyond the protein‐coding genome. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of cellular function, yet most remain uncharacterized.

Geoderma, 2023 Peat accumulation is the result of an imbalance between the biomass production and the reduced decomposition of organic matter, which has allowed peatlands to accumulate high levels of carbon over time.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Itch‐induced tick removal (IITR): An acquired neuroimmune mechanism, itch‐induced tick removal, develops after repeated tick exposure, mobilizing T cells and macrophages at the tick bite site to trigger a rapid scratching response that facilitates timely tick removal within a critical window that precedes the transmission of many tick‐borne pathogens ...

Biodiversity and litter decomposition: a case study in a Mediterranean stream [PDF]
, 2015 The importance of riparian diversity for the functioning of headwater streams has been demonstrated repeatedly. For example, mixing litter from different riparian tree species can influence their decomposition rates, an effect that is contingent on both ...

Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.

Behavioral Characteristics of Weaned Piglets Mixed in Different Groups [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016 With regard to animal welfare concerns, behavioral information of weaned and mixed piglets is great interest in swine production. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the change in behavior of weaned piglets over time in two different groups ...
