This study investigated the thermal tolerance of Camponotus thras negus and Camponotus acvapimensis in relation to climate change in Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP), Ethiopia. Heat tolerance and cold tolerance were examined in colonies of C. thras negus collected from two altitudinal sites within BMNP: Gaysay (3040 m) and Sanetti (3970 m).

Rapid DNA/eDNA‐Based ID Tools for Improved Chondrichthyan Monitoring and Management
ABSTRACT Rapid DNA/eDNA‐based ID tools, which detect specific genetic patterns without requiring sequencing, are essential for biodiversity and wildlife trade monitoring, particularly for species of conservation concern. However, the practical application of these methods remains limited by the availability of standardised protocols, accessibility of ...

Soft Nanocarriers as Antimicrobial Co‐Delivery Systems to Combat Resistant Infections
Soft nanocarrier‐based co‐delivery systems present a versatile and promising platform for combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by enabling spatiotemporally controlled, pathogen‐specific drug release. Their tunable physicochemical properties allow for the co‐encapsulation of synergistic antimicrobial agents, optimization of drug ratios, and surface ...
