Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

The prophenoloxidase system and in vitro interaction of Trypanosoma rangeli with Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma infestans haemolymph

, 1991
The presence of the prophenoloxidase (proPO) system in the haemolymph of Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma infestans and the role played by Trypanosoma rangeli in the in vitro activation of proPO were tested. Both R. prolixus and T.

Persistence, Seasonal Dynamics, and Regional Differentiation of the Parasitic Mite Tropilaelaps mercedesae in Apis mellifera L. Colonies Under Non-Endemic Climatic Conditions

Insects
Tropilaelaps mercedesae is an emerging parasite of Apis mellifera L. that is expanding beyond its traditional tropical range, yet its ecology in temperate regions remains poorly understood.

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Landscape and mosquito community impact the avian Plasmodium infection in Culex pipiens

iScience
Summary: Avian malaria parasites provide an important model for studying host-pathogen interactions, yet understanding their dynamics in vectors under natural conditions is limited.

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

First glimpse into parasites of Arctic anadromous lake trout

Arctic Science
Partial anadromy, where some individuals remain in freshwater while others migrate to sea, is common at northern latitudes. These life history differences can have ecological consequences impacting the parasite infracommunity, as parasite exposure varies

Advances in Se Wide‐Bandgap Photovoltaics and TexSe1‐x SWIR Photodiodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this review, fundamental properties and current challenges in Se photovoltaics (PVs) for tandem and indoor PVs and TexSe1‐x alloys for short wave infrared photodiodes are discussed. A case is made for the practicality of elemental chalcogenide optoelectronics, and a pathway toward resolving the key challenges in these respective technologies is ...

Genetic variability in parasites and host-parasite interactions [PDF]

, 1996
We have examined genetic variability in parasites in the context of ecological interactions with the host. Recent research on Echinococcus, Giardia and Cryptosporidium has been used to illustrate: (i) the problems that parasite variability and species ...
