Synergistic and Antagonistic Effects of Chemical Pollutants and Parasitic Fungi on Cyanobacterial Metabolism

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly impacted by anthropogenic pollutants, including the widely used herbicide metolachlor (MET) and cigarette butt (CB) litter. Parasites represent an additional biotic stressor that can modulate pollutant effects on their hosts.

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Treatment of discospondylitis in dogs: A systematic review

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Both medical and surgical techniques have been reported to manage canine discospondylitis, although data on clinical effectiveness and long‐term prognosis remain limited. Methods A systematic review of studies on treatment approaches, follow‐up data and investigation methods was conducted.

Sherman traps, bucket cameras, eDNA—oh, my: A comparative study of small mammal monitoring methods

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Comparison of Sherman live trapping, bucket camera traps, and airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) for assessing small mammal communities in restored prairies. Bucket cameras detected the highest species richness, live trapping provided the most precise species identifications, and airborne eDNA detected unique taxa.

Integration of Micro‐CT and XRF Mapping for Multimodal 3D Analysis of Polychrome Wooden Artifacts

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past 5 years, computer applications have become crucial to archeological research. Since the 1990s, the focus has transitioned from data management tools to the development of virtual models. Recently, digital documentation of cultural heritage has gained considerable focus, with 3D modeling of objects.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Root and leaf litter diversity below‐ground shape soil carbon stabilization and priming through altered decomposition dynamics

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root and leaf turnover is a major contributor to soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics and storage. However, while roots of multiple species occur in soils, and leaves are often incorporated to soil by bioturbation processes, it remains unknown how litter mixing in soils ...

Shrub encroachment influences root traits and mycorrhization in subalpine grasslands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Shrub encroachment into grasslands modifies ecosystem functions, species composition and soil properties. However, knowledge about its detailed below‐ground effects and specifically on concurrent changes in root traits and mycorrhizal associations is missing. We studied

The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

Root economic space is associated with rhizosphere microbial divergence via root metabolite‐mediated pathways in degraded grasslands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Grasslands worldwide are experiencing severe degradation due to overgrazing, climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, resulting in substantial declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.
