It is estimated that global anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduced by up to 12% at the start of 2020 compared to recent years due to the COVID-19 related downturn in economic activity. Despite the large decrease in CO2 emissions, no reduction in the trend in background atmospheric CO2 concentrations has been detected. So, how long would it take for sustained COVID-19 CO2 emission red
Venomous animals have evolved diverse molecular mechanisms to incapacitate prey and defend against predators. Most venom components disrupt nervous, locomotor, and cardiovascular systems or cause tissue damage. The discovery that certain fish-hunting cone snails use weaponized insulins to induce hypoglycemic shock in prey highlights a unique example of toxins targeting glucose homeostasis. Here, w
Despite the importance of fungi to forest carbon (C) cycling and increasing calls to include microbial interactions in ecosystem models, how shifting fungal guild abundances impact soil C stocks remains poorly quantified, particularly in mineral soils where most C is stored. Additionally, a greater understanding of how fungal interguild interactions affect belowground litter decomposition is neede
This study aims to investigate the different behaviors with respect to safety measures related to the interaction of e-scooters and bikes with cars in mixed traffic. E-scooters are relatively new vulnerable road users, and their behavior is still not fully understood. For this purpose, an observational study was carried out at an unsignalized at-grade intersection in the city of Catania, Italy. A
Wetland hydrological dynamics often dictate the composition of biological communities found in or near wetlands, either directly or through changes in vegetation composition. However, much remains unknown, particularly regarding how riparian arthropods respond to such dynamics. In this study, we used high-resolution hydrological data, along with presence of grazing livestock and shoreline vegetati
Climate change is causing an intensification of soil drying and rewetting events, altering microbial functioning and potentially destabilizing soil organic carbon. After rewetting, changes in microbial community carbon use efficiency (CUE), investment in life history strategies, and fungal to bacterial dominance co-occur. Still, we have yet to generalize what drives these dynamic responses. Here,
The INTERSPEC project, funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant, is focused on introducing a novel analytical methodology for studying single-cell scale fungal metabolism to clarify how fungal decomposition rates are affected by changing environmental (biotic and abiotic) conditions.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), particularly host defense peptides (HDPs), have gained recognition for their role in host defense mechanisms, but they have also shown potential as a promising anticancer, antiviral, antiparasitic, antifungal and immunomodulatory agent. Research studies in recent years have shown HDPs play a crucial role in endothelial cell function and biology. The function of endot
IMPORTANCE: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia, portends higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and is associated with quantifiable impairment in quality of life. While physical activity is widely recognized for its cardiovascular benefits, recent evidence challenges its role in the development of AF. OBSERVATIONS: Emerging data suggest a U-shaped rel
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a perplexing condition in women characterized by cessation of oocyte production in the ovaries. Despite numerous proposed causes for the development of POF, the actual cause of the most POF cases remains unknown. Given that POF significantly affects fertility and is a devastating diagnosis for women, there is an urgent need for the development of new therapies ai
A novel phylogenetic hypothesis for the subfamilies Dyopsinae and Thiacidinae is presented. For the first time, the type genus and species of Thiacidinae, Thiacidas postica Walker, is sequenced and analysed within an expanded dataset that includes a diverse array of representative Noctuidae. Utilizing a combination of phylogenomic data and traditional phylogenetic analyses based on legacy (Sanger)
Eutrophication and global warming are key drivers of oxygen loss, also termed deoxygenation, in coastal ecosystems worldwide. Artificial reoxygenation has been suggested as a local or regional solution to increase oxygen concentrations and improve water quality by various parties, including water managers and industry. Three main approaches have been proposed: (1) bubbling with air with the aim to
