(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.

Impact Analysis of Climate Change, Socioeconomic Development, and Hydropower Generation on Water Availability in the Chitral River Basin Using Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) Model - Bushra Zaman; Muhammad Atiq Ur Rehman Tariq; Abdullah Nadeem; Muhammad Kaleem Sarwar; Muhammad Waseem; Mudassar Iqbal; Shakeel Hayat; Khalil Ahmed; Muhammad Usman (Water Conservation Science and Engineering, 2025)
Water, energy, and food are three major issues of concern because of the rapid growth of the population and economy, which are exacerbated by climate change. The disparity between the availability and demand of water is largely driven by domestic and agricultural uses, and it is important to evaluate its impact on hydropower generation. This study aims to integrate climate change, socioeconomic development, and hydropower generation analysis using the water evaluation and planning model (WEAP). This study uses the CMIP6 model to make future projections under shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs). This study examined the projections of water demand under different scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5) using the MPI-ESM1-2HR climate change model. In the reference year 2000, domestic water demand stood at 15 MCM, escalating to 54 MCM under the SSP5-8.5 scenario. Concurrently, agricultural water demand, which was 93.72 MCM in 2000, is projected to surge to 197.35 MCM by 2050. Based on expected future changes in streamflow, the results show that Golen Gol’s hydropower potential varies with the effects of socioeconomic and climatic changes. However, the fluctuation in hydropower generation is more prominent during June and July, leading to an increase in hydropower in future scenarios. The study findings suggest that by 2050, the combination of population growth and agricultural expansion will substantially escalate water demand, posing risks to both the environment and human populations. Consequently, adopting enhanced irrigation methods, refining agricultural techniques, and erecting water conservation and retention infrastructures could effectively mitigate these challenges. To formulate sustainable water management strategies, it is advised to further utilize the integrated water–energy–food nexus approach, strengthened by merging WEAP with the energy modeling program Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) for hydropower generation.

Mathematical Modelling for Predicting Wastewater Treatment Efficiency Through Specialised Electrocoagulation - Monzur Alam Imteaz; Muhammad Atiq Ur Rehman Tariq; Zohreh Rajabi; Amimul Ahsan (International Journal of Environmental Research, 2025)
Based on experimental results on different pollutants removal efficiencies through a specialized electrocoagulation system, simple mathematical models were developed for the predictions of pollutants’ removal efficiencies for any combination of input conditions. Based on earlier experimental results two independent variables, flowrate and voltage were considered for the derivations of the generalized equations. Based on individual experimental results, relationships between flowrate and pollutant removal efficiency was derived using best-fit relationship for eight different pollutants; BOD, COD, Ammonia, TSS, TDS, Chloride, Turbidity and Hardness. Then individual relationships for different voltages were amalgamated to a single equation, which is capable to predict the specific pollutant removal efficiency for any flowrate under any voltage. Except Ammonia and TSS, developed models’ predicted results are having excellent match with the measured pollutants’ removal efficiencies having correlation coefficients (R 2 ) between modeled and measured values ranging from 0.99 to 1.0. Correlation coefficient values for Ammonia and TSS were 0.96 and 0.94 respectively. Other standard error statistics were also low; RMSE ranging from 0.21 to 3.54, MAE ranging from 0.17 to 2.33 and RAE ranging from 0.0 to 0.08. Among all the developed models, highest performing model was for the BOD having an R 2 value of 1.0 and RAE value of 0.0.

Resilience Assessment of Tomato Crop Chlorophyll Fluorescence Against Water Stress Under Elevated CO 2 and Protective Cultivation - Muhammad Akhlaq; Henglu Miao; Chuan Zhang; Haofang Yan; Xue Run; Junaid Nawaz Chauhdary; Muhammad Mahmood ur Rehman; Jun Li; Jiangtao Ren (Irrigation and Drainage, 2025)
Water scarcity is a crucial issue that reduces plant growth and yield worldwide. Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, which are associated with plant growth and yield under water stress, are the most sensitive plant parameters. The mitigation of water stress by elevated CO 2 (e[CO 2 ]) by chlorophyll fluorescence for tomato growth is rare. Tomato plants were grown in a controlled environment chambers (CECs) under eight treatments under controlled environmental conditions for two growing seasons: autumn–winter ( AW ) 2021 and spring–summer ( SS ) 2022. The four irrigation regimes included 40%–50% soil water holding capacity (WHC) (I 1 ), 60%–70% WHC (I 2 ), 80%–90% WHC (I 3 ) and 100% WHC (I 4 ). Eight treatments of four irrigation regimes coupled with e[CO 2 ] (700 μmol·mol −1 ) and ambient CO 2 (a[CO 2 ], 500 μmol·mol −1 ) were designed, respectively: I 1 e[CO 2 ], I 2 e[CO 2 ], I 3 e[CO 2 ], I 4 e[CO 2 ], I 1 a[CO 2 ], I 2 a[CO 2 ], I 3 a[CO 2 ] and I 4 a[CO 2 ], where I 4 a[CO 2 ] was considered the control treatment (CK). The chlorophyll fluorescence parameters maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII ( F v /F m ), photochemical efficiency of PSII ( Ф PSII ), electron transport rate ( ETR ) and photochemical quenching ( qP ) significantly decreased, whereas nonphotochemical quenching ( NPQ ) significantly increased under drought stress. Compared with that under CK, the maximum reduction in F v /F m under I 1 a[CO 2 ] was 14% in AW 2021, whereas it was 19% in SS 2022. The Ф PSII was reduced by 13%–3% and 13%–6% under I 1 a[CO 2 ] in AW 2021 and SS 2022, respectively (under the fixed photosynthetically active radiation range of 125–625 μmol·m −2 ·s −1 ) compared with that in the CK. The ETR and qP decreased under I 1 a[CO 2 ] at their maximum level in AW 2021 and SS 2022 with respect to those in the CK. The results showed that e[CO 2 ] mitigated water stress as the F v /F m , Ф PSII , ETR and qP were increased under water stress coupled with e[CO 2 ]. I 1 e[CO 2 ] was the most influential treatment for chlorophyll fluorescence parameters assessed via principal component analysis ( PCA ) in AW 2021 and SS 2022. This study explained the approach to develop crop resilience against water stress by inducing e[CO 2 ], which will play a vital role in sustainable agriculture under drought stress.

In this study, we investigate the stochastic Davey-Stewartson equation in the presence of noise. These two-dimensional integrable equations are higher-dimensional versions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Davey-Stewartson equations are important in plasma physics, nonlinear optics, hydrodynamics, and other disciplines because the solutions they provide are valuable in understanding many complex physical phenomena. We employ a modified version of the $$\left( \frac{G'}{G^2} \right)$$ G ′ G 2 approach to handle variable-coefficient systems with imaginary components, such as nonlinear Schrödinger systems. We have discovered a wide range of precise traveling wave solutions, including solitons, kink, periodic, and rational solutions. These solutions may have a significant impact in the domains of engineering and plasma physics. The presented techniques effectively achieve a variety of exponential solutions, including bright, dark, single, rational, and periodic solitary wave solutions. We used MATLAB to simulate our findings and provide 3D, 2D, and counter graphs that illustrate the impact of noise on the precise solutions of the stochastic Davey-Stewartson problem. We apply the Galilean transformation to derive the planar dynamical system, which enhances our understanding of the system’s dynamical analysis. We also conduct a sensitivity analysis to observe the systematic response to various initial conditions. This analysis focuses on the symmetrical aspects of the system and includes the illustration of phase portraits with equilibrium points. We also investigate the chaotic behavior of the planer dynamical system by introducing an additional external force. We predict the system’s behavior to increase the value of intensity and frequency. Our analysis reveals periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic processes.

Material selection in the construction industry: a systematic literature review on multi-criteria decision making - Asad Ur Rehman Bajwa; Chandana Siriwardana; Wajiha Shahzad; Muhammad Ahmad Naeem (Environment Systems and Decisions, 2025)
Material choice is critical for ensuring sustainability in the construction industry. Higher carbon embodiment materials contribute towards greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. Decisions on sustainable material selection depend on multiple criteria and variables, thus creating a difficulty to determine the best choice. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques have the potential to address this challenge. However, there is limited data that reviews MCDM in choosing building and construction materials. This study aims to review the MCDM methods employed in the sustainable selection of building materials within the construction industry. This systematic literature review (SLR) incorporates meta-analysis and thematic mapping through applying “PRISMA framework” and “ Bibliometrix ”, respectively. This study explored and analysed the records published from 2010 to 2023. This work identified the critical steps for addressing decision problems in building material selection: Establishing criteria, ranking the hierarchy, comparing the selection criteria, and enabling consistency indices. Moreover, one of the most used MCDM methods, i.e. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was particularly found particularly useful for the selection criteria and weight assignment of variables regarding the waste, recycled, and composite materials. The involvement of several criteria and alternatives raised the complexity of decision problems, leading to the use of Hybrid MCDM. Hybrid MCDM techniques possess the capacity guide informed decisions for the sustainable material selection in the construction industry.

Navigating Climate Change: Exploring the Dynamics Between Plant–Soil Microbiomes and Their Impact on Plant Growth and Productivity - Murad Muhammad; Abdul Wahab; Abdul Waheed; Khalid Rehman Hakeem; Heba Ibrahim Mohamed; Abdul Basit; Muhammad Danish Toor; Yong‐Hong Liu; Li Li; Wen‐Jun Li (Global Change Biology, 2025)
Understanding the intricate interplay between plant and soil microbiomes and their effects on plant growth and productivity is vital in a rapidly changing climate. This review explores the interconnected impacts of climate change on plant–soil microbiomes and their profound effects on agricultural productivity. The ongoing rise in global temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns and extreme weather events significantly affect the composition and function of microbial communities in the rhizosphere. Changes in microbial diversity and activity due to rising temperatures impact nutrient cycling, microbial enzyme synthesis, soil health and pest and disease management. These changes also influence the dynamics of soil microbe communities and their capability to promote plant health. As the climate changes, plants' adaptive capacity and microbial partners become increasingly crucial for sustaining agriculture. Mitigating the adverse effects of climate change on plant growth and agricultural productivity requires a comprehensive understanding of the interconnected mechanisms driving these processes. It highlights various strategies for mitigating and adapting to environmental challenges, including soil management, stress‐tolerant crops, cover cropping, sustainable land and water management, crop rotation, organic amendments and the development of climate‐resilient crop varieties. It emphasises the need for further exploration of plant–soil microbiomes within the broader context of climate change. Promising mitigation strategies, including precision agriculture and targeted microbiome modifications, offer valuable pathways for future research and practical implementation of global food security and climate change.

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.

Agricultural productivity is intricately tied to efficient water management strategies, with raised bed furrow systems being a prevalent method for irrigation. However, the optimization of these systems remains a critical area of exploration. The border irrigation method is commonly employed in developing countries for irrigation and leads to significant water loss, reduced irrigation efficiency, and increased irrigation durations. In contrast, raised bed furrow irrigation represents an improved surface irrigation technique that optimizes water usage in irrigated systems. This study seeks to assess the irrigation performance of raised bed furrows, encompassing deep percolation loss, distribution uniformity, adequacy, and application efficiency. The evaluation will be conducted for both existing conditions and an optimized scenario achieved through the application of the WinSRFR model. Field data facilitated the numerical simulation and the model was calibrated to reflect the existing irrigation system dynamics accurately. The performance of the model was assessed by utilizing the statistical indicator of root mean square error (RMSE) and revealed good agreement between advance and recession time. Results revealed that existing raised bed furrow irrigation exhibited up to 40% deep percolation loss, 80% distribution uniformity, and 60% application efficiency. Increasing furrow length had adverse effects; decreased application efficiency and distribution uniformity; and increased deep percolation losses. In contrast, reducing the furrow length and cutoff time by up to 33% and 40%, respectively, and increasing the width and inflow rate by up to 55% and 100%, respectively, enhanced the application efficiency and distribution uniformity, and minimized deep percolation loss. Overall, improved raised bed furrow irrigation provides a more efficient option and is encouraged to adopt for irrigation.

The kidney is an abdominal organ in the human body that supports filtering excess water and waste from the blood. Kidney diseases generally occur due to changes in certain supplements, medical conditions, obesity, and diet, which causes kidney function and ultimately leads to complications such as chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, and other renal disorders. Combining patient metadata with computed tomography (CT) images is essential to accurately and timely diagnosing such complications. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have transformed medical fields by providing high accuracy in complex tasks. However, the high computational cost of these models is a significant challenge, particularly in real-time applications. This paper proposed SpinalZFNet, a hybrid deep learning approach that integrates the architectural strengths of Spinal Network (SpinalNet) with the feature extraction capabilities of Zeiler and Fergus Network (ZFNet) to classify kidney disease accurately using CT images. This unique combination enhanced feature analysis, significantly improving classification accuracy while reducing the computational overhead. At first, the acquired CT images are pre-processed using a median filter, and the pre-processed image is segmented using Efficient Neural Network (ENet). Later, the images are augmented, and different features are extracted from the augmented CT images. The extracted features finally classify the kidney disease into normal, tumor, cyst, and stone using the proposed SpinalZFNet model. The SpinalZFNet outperformed other models, with 99.9% sensitivity, 99.5% specificity, precision 99.6%, 99.8% accuracy, and 99.7% F1-Score in classifying kidney disease. Graphical Abstract

Congenital heart defects (CHD) appear in almost one percent of live births. Asian countries have the highest birth prevalence of CHD in the world. Recessive genotypes may represent a CHD risk factor in Asian populations with a high degree of consanguineous marriages. Genetic analysis of consanguineous families may represent a relatively unexplored source for investigating CHD etiology. To obtain insight into the contribution of recessive genotypes in CHD we analysed a cohort of forty-nine Pakistani CHD probands, originating from consanguineous unions. The majority (82%) of patient’s malformations were septal defects. We identified protein altering, rare homozygous variants (RHVs) in the patient’s coding genome by whole exome sequencing. The patients had a median of seven damaging RHVs each, and our analysis revealed a total of 758 RHVs in 693 different genes. By prioritizing these genes based on variant severity, loss-of-function intolerance and specific expression in the developing heart, we identified a set of 23 candidate disease genes. These candidate genes were significantly enriched for genes known to cause heart defects in recessive mouse models (P < 2.4e−06). In addition, we found a significant enrichment of cilia genes in both the initial set of 693 genes (P < 5.4e−04) and the 23 candidate disease genes (P < 5.2e−04). Functional investigation of ADCY6 in cell- and zebrafish-models verified its role in heart development. Our results confirm a significant role for cilia genes in recessive forms of CHD and suggest important functions of cilia genes in cardiac septation.
