Spider Knottin Pharmacology at Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels and Their Potential to Modulate Pain Pathways

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaVs) are a key determinant of neuronal signalling. Neurotoxins from diverse taxa that selectively activate or inhibit NaV channels have helped unravel the role of NaV channels in diseases, including chronic pain.

Deriving Gridded Soil Moisture Estimates Using Earth Observation Data and a Process Informed Statistical Machine Learning Approach

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
A process‐informed machine learning approach, which included dynamic and static earth observation data and trained on in situ data from the United Kingdom, was capable of reproducing measured in situ values from locations not included in the model training. The model was then employed to derive daily, gridded estimates of soil moisture for Ireland. The

Warming Reduces Parasitoid Success and Narrows Their Diet Breadth

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
Warming may have a major impact on trophic networks, but few interactions are typically studied. Here we show that experimental warming strongly decreased the success of parasitoid development across 28 Drosophila‐parasitoid interactions from a tropical rainforest network. Warming strongly narrowed the diversity of hosts that the parasitoids could use.
