Variation in Ectotherm Thermal Tolerances With Elevation and Temperature Across Biological Scales - Imran Khaliq; Edward Lavender; Haseeb Kamran; Muhammad Junaid Shahid; Muhammad Sheraz; Muhammad Awais; Mehtab Shabir; Muhammad Yasir; Abdul Hameed; Muhammad Asgher; Abdul Rehman; Maria Riaz; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2025)
Aim Variation in thermal tolerances along environmental gradients is assumed to follow similar patterns across different biological scales, including within and between species, and across communities. However, this assumption has yet to be tested using comprehensive datasets collected through standardised methodologies. Location Southern Asia. Time Period 2017–2019. Major Taxa Studied Ants, beetles, grasshoppers, and spiders. Methods We quantified the associations between thermal tolerance traits and elevation or temperature at three biological scales (community, broad taxonomic group, and species) along two distinct elevational transects in Southern Asia. In total, we measured thermal tolerances of over 15,000 individuals from 114 arthropod species belonging to four invertebrate taxa (ants, beetles, grasshoppers, and spiders). We compared the relationships at each scale using mixed‐effects models. Results At the community scale, across all individuals of all species, we found a consistent decline in the values of three thermal tolerance traits (upper tolerance, lower tolerance, and tolerance breadth) with elevation along the Himalayan transect but an increase in the values of upper and lower tolerance along the Sulaiman transect. The relationships of thermal tolerance traits and elevation/temperature varied among the groups and species between the Himalayan and Sulaiman transects. This suggests that factors beyond elevation, including vegetation composition, microclimate, landscape features, and local adaptation, drive observed variation in thermal tolerance traits among and within species. Conclusion Our study highlights the interplay between thermal physiology and the environment across different habitats and biological scales. Our findings indicate that predicting biodiversity responses to environmental change based on thermal tolerance–environment relationships requires careful consideration of group‐ and species‐level variation. This is essential for improving the accuracy of climate change impact assessments on biodiversity.

From metabolic dysregulation to neurodegenerative pathology: the role of hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and blood-brain barrier breakdown in T2D-driven Alzheimer’s disease - Ahmad Raza; Shafaq Saleem; Samar Imran; Sarah Rahman; Muhammad Haroon; Azeen Razzaq; Ahmad Hussain; Javed Iqbal; Brijesh Sathian (Metabolic Brain Disease, 2025)
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) share common risk factors that can be seen through T2D nearly doubling an individual’s likelihood of developing AD. Some AD patients show signs of metabolic dysfunction as well. This review focuses on the potential mechanisms associated with these two diseases, like insulin resistance, inflammation, oxidative damage, mitochondrial injury, and cell death. One of the notable elements in this connection is the “brain insulin resistance,” most frequently named as “type 3 diabetes,” which impairs glucose metabolism and facilitates amyloid beta (Aβ) plaque synthesis while reducing the action of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE). Moreover, the overactivity of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) also triggers taurine protein pathology. Raised concentrations of glucose in blood can produce advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which further exacerbate neuroinflammation in tandem with the mitigation of neurotoxic Aβ oligomers. Inflammation and subsequent damage to mitochondria lead to the dissolution of synapses. Current vascular insults include the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and decreased brain perfusion, along with other contributory factors to conditions conducive to neurotoxicity. Recently, novel therapies are emerging, including GLP-1 agonists, intranasal insulin, and mitochondrial antioxidants, that show surprising results for treating both conditions, but on the contrary, bioavailability and the timing of interventions remain a big challenge in the management of these diseases. Eventually, further research should center on understanding the mechanisms of integration along with the development of molecular biology, neuroimaging, and outcome-driven treatment strategies. Comprehensive strategies that exist between T2D-AD for integration and preservation of brain and metabolic health are addressed in this review. Graphical abstract

Characteristics of aerosols and planetary boundary layer dynamics during biomass burning season - Muhammad Zeeshaan Shahid; Muhammad Imran Shahzad; Sundas Jaweria; Sadaf Javed; Shah Zaib; Imran Shahid (Natural Hazards, 2025)
The northeastern region of Pakistan (NEP) has experienced increased haze episodes over the past decade, primarily due to enhanced biomass burning activities during the post-monsoon season. Economic growth, urbanization and industrial development also controbuted to high pollutants levels that leads to decline in air quality and visibility. These elevated pollution levels over NEP (69–75.5°E, 27.4–34°N) are influenced by both meteorological conditions and anthropogenic activities. This study investigates aerosol concentrations before, during, and after the haze episode during November 2021 using model simulations and remote sensing data. The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, version 2 (MERRA-2), along with satellite observations from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), are used for validation and analysis of this haze episode. The results illustrate the key contributors to this haze event and showed the there is significant increases in aerosol components such as sulfate, black carbon, organic carbon, dust and aerosol optical depth (AOD). The planetary boundary layer (PBL) height, measured with Ceilometer LIDAR, showed decreasing trend in height from October to December that support aerosol accumulation near the surface during the the month of November. This month is also biomass burning, crop residue burning, season in the region. These haze episodes also impacts the atmospheric visibility that dropped below 2 km in November. These findings provide key insights into the complex interactions between meteorology, emissions, and haze formation in NEP region, and will provide policy makers to design effective mittigation strategies.

Epigallocatechin 3-gallate-induced neuroprotection in neurodegenerative diseases: molecular mechanisms and clinical insights - Md. Rezaul Islam; Abdur Rauf; Sumiya Akter; Happy Akter; Md. Ibrahim Khalil Al-Imran; Samiul Islam; Meherun Nessa; Chaity Jahan Shompa; Md. Nabil Rihan Shuvo; Imtiaz Khan; Waleed Al Abdulmonem; Abdullah S. M. Aljohani; et al. (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2025)
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are caused by progressive neuronal death and cognitive decline. Epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenolic molecule in green tea as a neuroprotective agent. This review evaluates the therapeutic effects of EGCG and explores the molecular mechanisms that show its neuroprotective properties. EGCG protects neurons in several ways, such as by lowering oxidative stress, stopping Aβ from aggregation together, changing cell signaling pathways, and decreasing inflammation. Furthermore, it promotes autophagy and improves mitochondrial activity, supporting neuronal survival. Clinical studies have demonstrated that EGCG supplementation can reduce neurodegenerative biomarkers and enhance cognitive function. This review provides insights into the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential of EGCG in treating various NDs. EGCG reduces oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity, aiding neuronal defense. It also protects neurons and improves cognitive abilities by inhibiting the toxicity and aggregation of Aβ peptides. It changes important cell signaling pathways like Nrf2, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK, which are necessary for cell survival, cell death, and inflammation. Additionally, it has strong anti-inflammatory properties because it inhibits microglial activation and downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines. It improves mitochondrial function by reducing oxidative stress, increasing ATP synthesis, and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, which promotes neurons’ survival and energy metabolism. In addition, it also triggers autophagy, a cellular process that breaks down and recycles damaged proteins and organelles, eliminating neurotoxic aggregates and maintaining cellular homeostasis. Moreover, it holds significant promise as an ND treatment, but future research should focus on increasing bioavailability and understanding its long-term clinical effects. Future studies should focus on improving EGCG delivery and understanding its long-term effects in therapeutic settings. It can potentially be a therapeutic agent for managing NDs, indicating a need for further research.

Effects of water quality and nitrogen on wheat productivity: Experimental and modelling study using the SALTMED model - Junaid Nawaz Chauhdary; Hong Li; Ragab Ragab; Zawar Hussain; Muhammad Akhlaq; Imran Ali Lakhiar (Irrigation and Drainage, 2025)
The effects of different water qualities and nitrogen doses need to be investigated for wheat growth to determine the optimal management strategy for sustaining wheat production potential to ensure human food security. Therefore, a 2‐year study (2020–2021 to 2021–2022) was conducted on wheat irrigated with different water qualities, including canal water (Ca), tubewell water (Tu) and mixed Ca‐Tu water (Mx), each fertilized with two nitrogen doses, that is, N75 = 75 kgN.ha −1 and N100 = 100 kgN.ha −1 . Ca⨯N100 performed best, with 5.12 t.ha −1 grain yield, 11.60 t.ha −1 biomass, 102.83 cm plant height and 1.32 kg.m −3 water productivity. The best values of the root mean square error (RMSE), normalized root mean square error (NRMSE), coefficient of determination ( R 2 ) and coefficient of residual mass (CRM) were 0.11, 0.12, 0.93 and −0.004, respectively, for calibration and 0.13, 0.15, 0.87 and ±0.01, respectively, for validation of the SALTMED model. The scenario simulation was performed for additional levels of water salinity (electrical conductivity [EC] = 8 and 12 dS.m −1 ) and nitrogen doses (50, 125, 150 and 175 kgN.ha −1 ). The results revealed improvements in wheat grain yield of 107%, 16% and −6% at EC = 8 dS.m −1 and 125%, 31% and 5% at EC = 12 dS.m −1 , while the improvements in biomass were 113%, 22% and −2% at EC = 8 dS.m −1 and 137%, 29% and 8% at EC = 12 dS.m −1 with increasing nitrogen doses from 50–125 kg.ha −1 , 125–150 kg.ha −1 and 150–175 kg.ha −1 , respectively. It is recommended that high‐quality water with the lowest possible EC and nitrogen applications of up to 150 kgN.ha −1 be adopted for wheat production in semi‐arid areas of Punjab, Pakistan.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a collection of intestinal disorders that cause inflammation in the digestive tract. Prolonged inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract is a major risk factor for colorectal cancer. The objective of this study was to fucus on gene expression levels of ( KRT-14 ; associated with epithelial cell integrity) and enhancer of zeste homolog-1 ( EZH-2; involved in cellular proliferation) in a IBD rat model in order to rule out impact of nutraceuticals (pumpkin seed oil; PSO) as a complementary approach to conventional treatments of IBD. In the current study, IBD was induced using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Following acclimatization, rats were separated into three groups: the negative control, the positive control, and the treatment group. The DSS (1 ml/kg bw) was given to the positive control and treatment groups. Negative control was given only a normal diet. Pumpkin seed oil (PSO) was given orally as a treatment (0.5 ml/kg bw). Blood and colon tissue were obtained on the 5 th , 10 th , 14 th, and 18 th days. Physical parameters, hematology, biochemical assays, gene expression, and histopathology were carried out. After statistical analyses, macroscopic parameters showed significant differences. Biochemical analyses revealed a significant ( P ≤ 0.05) decrease in serum potassium concentrations, total cholesterol, triglycerides, total proteins, total oxidants status, and C-reactive proteins in PSO treated group as compared with positive control. Gene expression levels of KRT-14 and EZH2 were significantly ( P ≤ 0.05) upregulated in PSO treated group as compared to positive control group. Histopathology revealed that pumpkin seed oil preserved the structural integrity of colon.

Mapping land cover (LC) in mountainous regions, such as the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) area of Pakistan, presents significant challenges due to complex terrain, limited data availability, and accessibility constraints. This study addresses these challenges by developing a robust, data-driven approach to classify LC using high-resolution Sentinel-2 (S-2) satellite imagery from 2019 within Google Earth Engine (GEE). The research evaluated the performance of various machine learning (ML) algorithms, including classification and regression tree (CART), maximum entropy (gmoMaxEnt), minimum distance (minDistance), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF), without extensive hyperparameter tuning. Additionally, ten different scenarios based on various band combinations of S-2 data were used as input for running the ML models. The LC classification was performed using 2759 sample points, with 70% for training and 30% for validation. The results indicate that the RF algorithm outperformed all other classifiers under scenario S1 (using 10 bands), achieving an overall accuracy (OA) of 0.79 and a kappa coefficient of 0.76. The final RF-based LC mapping shows the following percentage distribution: barren land (46.7%), snow cover (22.9%), glacier (7.9%), grasses (7.2%), water (4.7%), wetland (2.9%), built-up (2.7%), agriculture (1.9%), and forest (1.2%). It is suggested that the best identified RF classifier within the GEE environment should be used for advanced multi-source data image classification with hyperparameter tuning to increase OA. Additionally, it is suggested to build the capacity of various stakeholders in GB for better monitoring of LC changes and resource management using geospatial big data.

Zinc solubilizing bacteria inhabiting root endosphere possesses great potential to enhance plant yield by solubilizing the nutrients. The potential of Zn solubilizing bacteria Bacillus sp. SH-10 and Bacillus cereus SH-17 to improve yield and grain zinc content of rice was investigated under different regimes of individual and co-inoculation in the presence and absence of chemical fertilizer zinc sulfate (ZnSO 4 ). The strains were applied to the rice varieties basmati 385 and super basmati under field conditions for two consecutive years. A significantly improved growth of rice plants, such as plant height (102–118 cm), number of tillers per plant (8.5–11.5), chlorophyll content (29.5–35.1), zinc requiring enzymes, i.e., superoxide dismutase (396–570 per gram fresh weight (g −1 FW)), carbonic anhydrase activity (CA) (10–15.06 U g −1 FW) and grain yield (3.0–3.8 tons ha −1 ), was observed in the plants inoculated with Bacillus sp. in the presence of chemical fertilizer (ZnSO 4 ). Consortium of zinc solubilizing bacteria also caused higher grain Zn content (25.0–30.5 mg kg −1 ) of the rice varieties basmati 385 and super basmati as compared to that of un-inoculated plants. Hence, it can be concluded that Zn solubilizing bacteria has immense potential to be used as agricultural crop inoculants as they synergize the effect of chemical Zn, increase yield and improve the nutritional value of crops.
