Endangered White‐Clawed Crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) eDNA Detection Suggests Agriculture May Exert Significant Pressure on the Species

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Northern Ireland white‐clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) eDNA Survey 2024 expanded the species' distribution despite demonstrating the species to be in unfavorable conservation status. ABSTRACT The white‐clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) is IUCN Red‐Listed as globally endangered being in unfavorable (bad) status in both the UK and ...

Tidal heating and the habitability of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2019
Context. New estimates of the masses and radii of the seven planets orbiting the ultracool M-dwarf TRAPPIST-1 star permit improved modelling of their compositions, heating by tidal dissipation, and removal of tidal heat by solid-state convection. Aims. Here we compute the heat flux due to insolation and tidal heating for the inner four planets. Methods.

The “Analogs for VENus' GEologically Recent Surfaces” (AVENGERS) Initiative: Using Terrestrial Analogs to Study Recent Volcano‐Tectonic Activity on Venus and Inform the Characterization of Terrestrial Exoplanets

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Several missions to Venus have recently been selected for launch, opening a new era for the exploration of the planet. A key question these missions seek to address is whether Venus is geologically active today. Detecting active volcanism on Venus would contribute to a better understanding of volcanic and atmospheric processes on Earth.

On the Local Formation of the TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Abstract The discovery of seven approximately Earth-mass planets orbiting the 0.09 M ⊙ M dwarf TRAPPIST-1 captivated the public and sparked a proliferation of investigations into the system’s origins. Among other properties, the resonant architecture of the planets has been interpreted to imply that orbital migration ...

Restoration using flow deflectors: a question of fine‐scale spatial layout in headwater stream beds

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 7, September 2025.
Current European Union objectives for 2030 aim to restore ecosystems to halt biodiversity loss. Here, we studied the consequences of headwater stream restoration by placing large wood in the streambed to act as flow deflectors. We hypothesized that these flow deflectors would create a fine‐scale spatial arrangement of habitats, fostering a diverse and ...

Interior Characterization in Multiplanetary Systems: TRAPPIST-1 [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2018
Abstract Interior characterization traditionally relies on individual planetary properties, ignoring correlations between different planets of the same system. For multiplanetary systems, planetary data are generally correlated. This is because the differential masses and radii are better constrained than absolute planetary masses and ...

A Heavy Issue: Changes in Body Size in London Before, During and After the Black Death

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 187, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives The higher mortality rate of the Black Death compared to later epidemics has prompted bioarchaeologists to address the health status of past plague victims and whether this may have influenced the selectivity of the disease. A person's phenotype is the result of a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors; body ...

Mouthfeel of Food and Beverages: A Comprehensive Review of Physiology, Biochemistry, and Key Sensory Compounds

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Mouthfeel is a complex and multidimensional sensory experience that plays an important role in how people perceive flavor and accept food and beverages. Although it is a key part of the eating and drinking experience, mouthfeel is still not clearly defined and is difficult to measure. This review explores mouthfeel from a flavor perspective by

UV surface habitability of the TRAPPIST-1 system [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2017
Abstract With the discovery of rocky planets in the temperate habitable zone (HZ) of the close-by cool star TRAPPIST-1, the question of whether such planets could harbour life arises. Habitable planets around red dwarf stars can orbit in radiation environments that can be life-sterilizing.
