Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

ABSTRACT Deterioration in the appearance quality of brown rice due to heat‐stress‐induced ripening damage is a severe agricultural problem exacerbated by global warming. Five rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars differing in their tolerance to heat‐stress‐induced ripening (‘Fukei 227,’ ‘Fusaotome,’ ‘Komanomai,’ ‘Sasanishiki,’ and ‘Hatsuboshi’) were used to

Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

G3BP1 Succinylation at K413 is Critical for Cardiac Function by Modulating PI3K‐AKT‐mTOR Signal Axis
Schematic illustrating the impact of G3BP1 succinylation at K413 on cardiac function. In the healthy human heart, G3BP1 succinylation maintains homeostatic mTOR signaling. In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure (HF), G3BP1 de‐succinylation induces RagA expression and disrupts the binding of the TSC1/2 complex, leading to the ...

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Effects of Timing of Microbial Exposure on Microbiome Assembly and Amphibian Immune Development
We used a novel amphibian gnotobiotic system to investigate how disruptions to the microbiome during critical developmental periods influence microbial assembly and the development of immunity. We found that antimicrobial treatments of embryos and subsequent introduction to microbes at different developmental stages altered microbiome assembly ...
