Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding biodiversity patterns requires integrating information across the interrelated dimensions that organize life. Species occupy specific regions in geographic space, respond to environmental conditions and vary within attribute (or trait) spaces that are shaped by their ecological and evolutionary histories.

Olfactory Tuft Cells Are Critical to Basal Inflammation, Innate Immune Response to Viral Infection, and Modulation of Quiescent Stem Cell Activation, Proliferation and Differentiation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Olfactory tuft cells communicate with other mucosal cells in maintaining olfactory epithelial immunity and sensory function. Disruption of tuft cell signalling pathways causes a skewed immune response, leading to heightened inflammation and increased activation of the quiescent stem cells, which are further exacerbated by viral infection.

Triple Oxygen Isotope Compositions of Isotopic Reference Waters: Implications for VSMOW‐Scale and VSMOW–SLAP‐Scale Δ′17O Calibration

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points Triple oxygen isotope ratios of two primary (VSMOW, SLAP) and twelve secondary water isotopic reference materials were precisely measured using BrF5 fluorination‐IRMS. The measured Δ'17OVSMOW value for SLAP (34 ± 6 per meg) demonstrates that VSMOW‐SLAP normalisation ensures interlaboratory comparability, but introduces systematic offsets for
