We exposed human nasal epithelial tissues to pollen from grasses grown under different climate treatments (temperature and CO2). Pollen weakened epithelial tight junctions and altered cytokine‐related gene expression, with similar protein‐level effects.

Trends in Semen Quality: A Contrasting Perspective From a Single‐Centre Review in Ireland
ABSTRACT Introduction Male factor contributes up to half of infertility cases and reports of a global decline in semen quality raise concern for the future of male reproductive health. However, fertility trends can vary by region and population. Interpreting local patterns is crucial for understanding the true trajectory of male fertility.

Homo sapiens, industrialisation and the environmental mismatch hypothesis
ABSTRACT For the vast majority of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, a range of natural environments defined the parameters within which selection shaped human biology. Although human‐induced alterations to the terrestrial biosphere have been evident for over 10,000 years, the pace and scale of change has accelerated dramatically since the onset

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.
