Crystallizing spodumene pegmatites exsolve hydrothermal fluids, which generate exomorphic metasomatic halos in their host rocks. Composition, timing and frequency of fluid release relate to the evolution of the pegmatite. At the Moylisha prospect of the Leinster pegmatite belt in SE Ireland, spodumene pegmatites intrude the granite of the Leinster Batholith. Narrow (~ 10 cm) visible halos developed at the contact, but halo min...

Naturally fractured reservoirs are essential for subsurface energy production and storage. However, the complexity and uncertainty inherent to fracture network properties make it difficult to characterise fluid flow within them. This study presents an unsupervised machine learning workflow that constrains uncertainty by establishing a systematic link between the pressure transient response observed at the well and the underlyi...

Geothermal energy is a key option for decarbonizing heating and cooling in the energy transition. Forecasting geothermal production has inherent uncertainty due to the heterogeneity of geological formations that host the geothermal resource and the limited data available to characterize and quantify these heterogeneities. This uncertainty leads to operational risks such as early thermal breakthrough. Identifying the most valua...

The present study is the first observation of mycoparasitic behavior in the predominantly plant-associated fungal genus Diaporthe . Several isolates of the Phomopsis dieback pathogen Diaporthe eres s.l. were obtained from grapevine and identified by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer, translation elongation factor 1-α, and β-tubulin loci. The interactions of the isolates with Botrytis cinerea strains were examined by d...

Cell fate determination and terminal differentiation are shaped by intrinsic molecular programs that coordinate lineage-specific gene expression. In mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), variability in osteogenic efficiency among distinct tissue sources remains poorly understood and cannot be fully explained by differentiation conditions alone. Increasing evidence indicates that post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms, particularl...

Signals function in intra- and inter-specific communication across several different contexts, such as predation, foraging, competition and mate choice. Static signals including shape or color are well-studied, whereas locomotion-related signals remain less understood despite being particularly intriguing as they can be controlled by the animal’s perception of danger or competition. In this study, we explore the potential func...

Aim Restoration benchmarks often assume an undisturbed historic range of variability, if they include historic information at all. However, recent research highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of shifting baselines and how to best incorporate past variabilities in modern management. We investigate trends in oyster size through time (ca. 250–2024 ce ) and space (ca. 1000 km 2 ) in the Tampa Bay Estuary to unders...

Increasingly frequent marine heatwaves have escalated the prevalence and extent of mass coral bleaching events. Global-scale coral bleaching events (GCBEs) can unfold when marine heatwaves impact reefs across all tropical ocean basins within a common period. Here, we define an objective, quantifiable index to compare periods of satellite-derived coral heat stress accumulation globally from 1985 to 2025 and examine their relati...
