Climate-driven environmental change can alter both the structural and dynamic properties of ecological communities. With ongoing warming, high-latitude lakes experience reduced ice cover, higher growing-season temperatures, and altered hydrology, potentially triggering cascading effects across lake ecosystems. We investigated long-term variation (1994–2022) in ice phenology, temperature, magnitude of spring floods, and pelagic...

Purpose The DANFLU-1 trial suggested lower incidence of hospitalizations for pneumonia and influenza, respiratory disease and all-cause mortality among older adults receiving high-dose (HD-IV) versus standard-dose (SD-IV) influenza vaccine. This study assessed the relative effectiveness of HD-IV versus SD-IV according to comorbidity in elderly individuals. Methods This was a post-hoc analysis of the DANFLU-1 randomized control...

After deploying a seismic network above a karst aquifer that feeds Bear Spring in Minnesota, USA, three injection experiments were conducted, which involved pouring ~10,000 L of water just above an overflow spring to induce and characterize ambient seismic noise from subsurface water flow. A rainstorm event followed the second experiment and caused the overflow spring to start flowing with meters of water level rise, increasin...

Great Britain has three native shrews, while the greater white-toothed shrew (GWT: Crocidura russula ) is native to the European continent and some Channel islands. The GWT shrew was first reported in northern England in 2022. We detail its immediate investigation through national authorities, non-government bodies and individuals. Sixteen GWT were among 595 small mammals live-trapped. Barn owl pellet analysis revealed 56 GWT...
