Beyond Immunity: Functional Outcomes of Dietary Yeast and Seaweed β‐Glucans in Adult Canine Nutrition

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT β‐Glucans are functional compounds associated with health benefits; however, the physiological effects of different β‐glucan sources in dog foods remain incompletely understood. This study evaluated and compared the effects of β‐glucans derived from Euglena gracilis (seaweed) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) on nutrient digestibility ...

Effects of Algae β‐Glucan Supplementation on the Performance and Intestinal Immune System of Healthy Weaned Piglets

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While β‐glucans from plants and yeasts have been extensively studied in weaned piglets, studies examining algae β‐glucans are scarce. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the effects of feeding algae β‐glucan in weaned piglets. Male, 21‐day‐old, weaned crossbred piglets were allotted to three experimental groups, which were fed either an ...

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Effects of seaweed fertilizer application on crops' yield and quality in field conditions in China-A meta-analysis.

PLoS ONE
Seaweed fertilizer, formulated primarily with seaweed extract as its main ingredient, has been extensively studied and found to significantly improve nutrient use efficiency, increase crop yield and quality, and enhance soil properties under field ...

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

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Spatial inference of ancestor locations suggests northern refugia for canopy‐forming kelps in the Pacific Northwest

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Population genetic structure in the Pacific Northwest for (a–c) Nereocystis and (d–f) Macrocystis. Summary Pockets of the formerly glaciated Pacific coastline of North America likely remained ice‐free throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These areas may have served as refugia for terrestrial species, but less is known about their role in the ...

Biotransformation of monoterpenols upon pre‐treatment with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility in grapevine leaves

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pre‐treatment of grapevine plants with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility by accumulation of monoterpenol glycosides. Abstract Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is a destructive disease that causes major economic losses as most elite grapevine cultivars are susceptible to this pathogen.
