Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Climate, vegetation, people: disentangling the controls of fire at different timescales

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Human activities have a major impact on fire regimes. Human activities that cause landscape fragmentation, such as creating roads and other infrastructure or converting areas to agriculture, tend to restrict, rather than promote, fire. The human influence is complex, however, and the impact of fragmentation on the fire regime depends on climate and ...

Understanding Plant Parasitism: Hydnora Africana and European Scientific Practice in the Early Nineteenth Century**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
This article will analyze the uncertainties around collecting and classifying Hydnora africana in the first half of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the distinctive dryland ecologies of South Africa, Hydnora was interpreted as strange and cryptic by Europeans primarily because it is a root parasite—a complex floral trait that was little understood.
