Interactions of Mucus Monosaccharides and the Epidermal Microbiome in Four Benthic Elasmobranchs
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Here we collected mucus and microbes from the skin of Elasmobranchs to identify interactions between mucus and the microbial community. We identified key microbial genes involved in the metabolism of mucus carbohydrates in Elasmobranchs. ABSTRACT Epidermal mucus is a complicated mixture of macromolecules which acts as the first line of defence for ...

Complex trajectories of tree growth in the southwestern United States after severe drought
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Climate change driven extreme droughts have major impacts on forest ecosystems, including large‐scale mortality and reduced primary production, which feedback to affect the global carbon cycle. The long‐term impacts of extreme drought events on forest mortality, ecosystem responses, and recovery/post‐drought trajectories are poorly understood.
