Actions to halt biodiversity loss generally benefit the climate [PDF]
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 2846-2874, May 2022., 2022 This review provides evidence that biodiversity conservation actions have mostly synergistic benefits and few antagonistic trade‐offs with climate change mitigation. Specifically, we identify co‐benefits in 14 out of the 21 action targets of the draft post‐2020 global biodiversity framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These relationships

Nanoplatforms for Magnetic‐Photo‐Heating of Thermo‐Resistant Tumor Cells: Singular Synergic Therapeutic Effects at Mild Temperature [PDF]
Small, Volume 20, Issue 51, December 19, 2024.Here, magnetic nanostructures made of chain‐like iron oxide nanocubes and photothermal dyes enwrapped in amphiphilic polymers, are developed. The obtained nanostructures are eradicating, in vitro, thermo‐resistant glioblastoma cells at temperature as low as 41 °C only when this therapeutic temperature is reached by a combination of MH and PTT of ...

Weak whole‐plant trait coordination in a seasonally dry South American stressful environment [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 4-12, January 2018., 2018 We investigated leaf and stem traits of 33 species from a white sandy plain in northeastern South America to evaluate the strength of trait covariation in this stressful habitat. Abstract A core question involving both plant physiology and community ecology is whether traits from different organs are coordinated across species, beyond pairwise trait ...
