Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Shape‐shifting in relative wing length of juvenile shorebirds: no evidence of developmental temperatures driving morphological changes

Ecography, EarlyView.
Morphological changes concurrent with climate change are increasingly identified in birds, often through decreasing body size and increasing appendage size. Such changes could have thermoregulatory implications, through the improved surface area to body ratio they provide.

Most mammals do not wander: few species escape continental endemism

Ecography, EarlyView.
Terrestrial mammals are found nearly everywhere on Earth. Yet, most taxa are endemic to a single continent; geological, evolutionary, ecological, or physiological filters constrain geographic distributions. Here, we synthesize data on geography, taxonomy, lineage age, dispersal, body size, and diet for > 4000 terrestrial mammals prior to detectable ...

Seasonal variation in community structure and elevational distributions of mammals and birds in the Central Himalayas

Ecography, EarlyView.
Montane species utilize various habitats along elevations to adapt to seasonality, providing an ideal opportunity to study how species respond to shifting environments. This study characterizes seasonal changes in community structure and elevational distributions across multiple taxa in the Central Himalayas.

Effects of phytoplankton species distribution on particulate organic carbon dynamics along a coastal gradient

Ecography, EarlyView.
Phytoplankton communities affect carbon dynamics worldwide, strongly influencing the quality and quantity of organic carbon in coastal ecosystems. Yet, we still know little about the impacts of changing phytoplankton community composition on the potential carbon pathways in estuaries and coasts.

Biochemical characteristics and applications of microalga Chlorella sorokiniana KNUA228 isolated from Ulleungdo

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing environmental and health challenges posed by fossil fuel dependency necessitate the exploration of renewable bioresources. Chlorella sorokiniana KNUA228, a microalga isolated from Ulleungdo, Republic of Korea, was investigated to evaluate its biotechnological potential. Molecular analyses confirmed its identity as C. sorokiniana,

Overcoming Toxicity Barriers for Boosting Nisin Synthesis in Lactococcus lactis Strain via Adaptive Laboratory Evolution

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
After adaptive laboratory evolution against nisin, improved nisin production and tolerance were found in the evolved strains. To reveal the advantages of the evolved strains, a systematic comparison was made between the starting strains and the domesticated strains in terms of their microscopic morphology, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and whole ...

Natural Products Targeting Protein Disulfide Isomerases: New Frontiers for Diabetes, Cancer, and Coagulation

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
PDIA4 is significantly upregulated in response to nutrient overload in pancreatic β‐cells, resulting in aberrant ROS production, β‐cell failure, and diabetes. PDIA4 facilitates cancer development by inhibiting caspase‐mediatedcell death in cancer and promoting VEGF‐mediated protumoral immunity andangiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment, highlighting
