Probiotic consumption reduces alveolar bone loss and kidney damage in pregnant rats with experimental periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 (B. lactis HN019) is a probiotic bacterial strain with immunomodulatory properties. Its benefits have been observed in healthy and systemically compromised animals with periodontitis (PD). Our objective was to investigate the local and systemic effects of the systemic administration of B.

Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Mouse Vocal Fold Permeability In Vivo: Effects of Novel Low‐Tech Injury and Instillation Methods

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Improving experimental mouse vocal fold injury and instillation approaches is necessary to advance preclinical models of laryngeal disease. We have successfully repurposed low‐tech, quick, and reliable injury and instillation methods established in respiratory research. Using these methods, we show that murine vocal fold epithelium is inherently highly

Enhancing Soil Aggregation and Water Retention by Applying Kaolinite Clay to Post‐Tin‐Mined Land on Belitung Island, Indonesia

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐mining sandy soils have low water retention, which causes soil particle separation and persistent soil erosion. Although organic matter is commonly used for soil restoration, it is lightweight, washes away during heavy rain, and decomposes under strong sunlight.

Nutrition Status of Trees on Spoil Heaps After Coal Mining Can Be Inferred From Seasonal Dynamics of Foliar Nutrient Concentrations

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A stable vegetation cover on given habitat conditions can be one of the possible requirements for post‐mining sites, as it can prevent erosion and dustiness of these anthropogenic surfaces and bring several practical future benefits, such as biomass production and microclimate improvement.

Carbon Stock and Environmental Variations of Typical Plantations in Mufu Mountain in Hubei Province, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province.

Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

Molecular phylogenetic and morphological analyses revealed a new species, Leucocoprinus roseus (Agaricaceae, Basidiomycota), from Punjab, Pakistan

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
In this article, we describe a new fungal species, Leucocoprinus roseus, collected in Canal View Park, District Mandi Bahauddin, Punjab, Pakistan. The species is proposed as new based on detailed morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic analysis using nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) sequences.
