Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract The genus Paulinella represents a rare, independent case of primary endosymbiosis, providing a unique system to study the early stages of organelle evolution. Here, we expand current understanding of primary plastid endosymbiosis through the discovery and characterization of two novel photosynthetic amoebae, Paulinella marae sp. nov.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

AQP1 Corrects Acinar Cells’ Secretion Deficits in Sjögren's Disease
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by dry mouth, dry eyes, and profound fatigue. Preclinical studies suggest that AQP1 gene expression in salivary glands corrects salivary hypofunction in preclinical and clinical studies of radiation‐induced xerostomia and improves salivary and lacrimal function

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., 2n = 4x = 40, AABB) is an important legume crop worldwide. Wild peanuts (Arachis spp.) represent a valuable secondary gene pool with diverse disease resistances. However, most wild peanut species are diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and this ploidy barrier is a major obstacle to hybridization and gene introgression.

Ozone Susceptibility of Tropical Tree Species
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tropical forests account for approximately 60% of global terrestrial photosynthesis, yet their function into the future may be compromised by rising ground‐level ozone (O3) pollution. Although O3 is known to impair plant productivity, the physiological mechanisms underlying interspecific variation in O3 susceptibility—especially among tropical

Sun exposure and photoprotection: Habits, knowledge, and attitudes among elite beach soccer players
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Elite beach soccer players experience high ultraviolet radiation exposure and frequent sunburn episodes despite widespread sunscreen use. Deficiencies in sunscreen reapplication, shade‐seeking behaviors, and skin surveillance practices were identified. These findings highlight the need for targeted photoprotection interventions in beach sports athletes.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...
