To advance understanding of meiofauna, key components of marine benthic ecosystems, an international team conducted a morphology-based taxonomic survey and workshop around São Miguel, the largest Azorean island, in 2019. The survey yielded critical baseline data on meiofaunal diversity and, despite taxonomic challenges that limited identification of certain taxa, laid a solid foundation for further research. To expand these fi...

Only 67% of eligible patients with breast cancer currently undergo genetic testing. Mainstream genetic testing (i.e. healthcare professionals (HCPs) from outside the genetics field providing genetic counselling), also referred to asmainstreaming, leads to increased uptake of genetic testing. Unlike surgical oncologists, medical oncologists have not yet widely adopted mainstreaming. This study aims to identify barriers and faci...

Reef-building corals owe their evolutionary success to their symbiosis with unicellular algae (Symbiodiniaceae). However, increasingly frequent heat waves lead to coral mass-bleaching events and pose a serious threat to the survival of reef ecosystems. Despite significant efforts, a mechanistic understanding of coral–algal symbiosis functioning, what leads to its breakdown and what can prevent it, remains incomplete. The main...
