Wildfire Ash Alters Freshwater Crustacean Behavior: Disentangling the Contributions of Suspended Macroparticles and Ash‐Induced Alkalinization

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in the inflammatory pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy

VIEW, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how gut dysbiosis drives diabetic retinopathy through the gut‐retina axis, a process unfolding in three interconnected stages. First, in the gut, a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory taxa compromise the intestinal barrier, causing a “leaky gut” that allows LPS to translocate into the ...

Metallicity Effects in PDRs [PDF]

EAS Publications Series, 2008
Almost all properties of a photodissociation region (PDR) depend on its metallicity. The heating and cooling efficiencies that determine the temperature of the gas and dust, the dust composition, as well as the elemental abundances that influence the chemical structure of the PDR are just three examples that demonstrate the importance of metallicity ...

Opium Cultivation Imperilling Endangered Species in Northern Laos

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
To avoid government eradication efforts, farmers in northeastern Laos shifted opium cultivation deep into a national park, causing a > 1000% increase in protected forest cleared for the crop between 2018 and 2022. This displacement directly threatened endangered species like white‐cheeked gibbons, elephants, and dholes by causing a rise in hunting ...

Testing the Assumption That Tiger Population Recovery Increases Conflict Across Their Range

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Tiger population recovery is widely assumed to increase conflict with people, yet this assumption has rarely been examined using range‐wide evidence. Analysing data from ten tiger range countries between 2010 and 2025, we found no consistent evidence that tiger population recovery is associated with increased conflict incidents.
