Comparative analysis of immunomodulatory biomarker responses in clams Meretrix meretrix and Mactra veneriformis to waterborne cadmium exposure

Frontiers in Marine Science
Bivalves are important indicator species for cadmium (Cd) pollution, however, the differential detoxification and physiological responses to Cd exposure among co-occurring bivalve species have not been thoroughly studied.

Influence of N, P, and K application on Zea mays L. growth and Cu and Pb accumulation

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2011
Fertilization affects soil processes in many ways that remain unclear. The effects of N, P, and K application on plant growth and Cu and Pb accumulation were thus evaluated in a soil-maize system using five treatments: N, P, and K application; N and P ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

A Geomorphometric Approach to Estimate the Deterioration of Earthen Archaeological Sites by Rainfall and Diffusion Processes: The Huaca Chornancap (Eighth–14th Century ad), Lambayeque, Peru

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rain‐induced erosion processes can severely damage Earthen archaeological sites. Huaca Chornancap (HCH; eighth–14th century ad) is a platform located in the Lambayeque region (Peru) exposed to seasonal rain due to El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Brackish water irrigation boosts honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica Thunb.)-salt tolerance by regulating sodium partitioning and potassium homeostasis: implications for coastal saline soil

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionAgricultural development in coastal saline-alkali lands is constrained by freshwater scarcity. Utilizing brackish water for irrigation presents a viable pathway to alleviate this pressure.

Tissue‐Specific and Spatially Dependent Metabolic Signatures Perturbed by Injury in Male and Female Mice

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Osteoarthritis, the leading cause of disability worldwide, disproportionately affects women, yet sex remains an overlooked determinant. This disparity stems from sex‐specific differences in injury susceptibility—a major risk factor for disease.
