Collection, handling and care of cephalopod eggsNARA Subscribed
Research on cephalopod early ontogeny has significantly advanced in recent decades, including embryo organogenesis and neurogenesis and early behavioural adaptations, particularly in commercially important and coastal species. Within this context, here we compiled current knowledge on the collection, handling and care under experimental conditions and monitoring in the field of cephalopod eggs and egg masses. It covers field o...
Adaptive Variation Amid High Gene Flow Across a Broad Latitudinal Gradient in the Reef‐Building Honeycomb Worm, Sabellaria alveolataNARA Subscribed
Climate change is already altering, and will continue to reshape, the persistence and spatial structure of marine populations. Understanding metapopulation connectivity and local adaptation is therefore critical for identifying both vulnerable populations and those with adaptive resilience. We applied a seascape genomics approach to investigate connectivity patterns and adaptive responses in the honeycomb worm, Sabellaria alve...
Beyond rhodoliths: Community‐level carbon metabolism and calcification in coralline algal bedsNARA Subscribed
Coastal ecosystems play a major role in global carbon cycling and storage, yet the contribution of calcifying macroalgal habitats, such as coralline algal beds (CABs; rhodolith and maerl beds), remains poorly understood. Because carbon cycling in CABs is governed by community productivity and calcification, which exert opposing effects on seawater carbonate chemistry, understanding the balance between these processes is essent...
A practical guide to investigating biomolecular condensates: a comment from the plant communityNARA Subscribed
Biomolecular condensates formed through phase separation have emerged as a central principle of cellular organization, enabling the dynamic regulation of gene expression, signaling, metabolism, and stress responses. While early conceptual advances in condensate biology have largely originated from animal and in vitro systems, plant cells present a unique set of biological and technical challenges, including rigid cell walls, t...
Theta-aurora dynamics: Ionospheric mapping of evolving magnetospheric plasma boundariesNARA Subscribed
The theta-aurora, an auroral feature bridging the nightside and dayside auroral oval under a northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), is closely linked to the energetic plasma evolving within the magnetosphere. While existing views emphasize that energetic plasma resides on closed field lines, the mechanism by which it is accelerated and precipitates on open field lines to form the theta aurora remains poorly understood....
In vivo evaluation of the anti-inflammatory efficacy of liposomes loaded with Echinacea purpurea roots extractsNARA Subscribed
WHO ranked chronic inflammatory diseases as the most significant cause of death. The current therapeutic approach is the constant administration of clinically available anti-inflammatory drugs; however, this strategy presents severe side effects. New entities derived from plants have shown their potential for developing safe and effective therapies. Particularly, Echinacea purpurea extracts have demonstrated strong anti-inflam...
Micro‐Refuges or Ecological Traps: Context‐Dependent Effects of Rock Pools on Intertidal Biodiversity Across LatitudesNARA Subscribed
Aim We investigated how local‐scale environmental heterogeneity influences biodiversity patterns across broad biogeographic gradients, using intertidal microhabitats as a model system within one of the most environmentally stressful ecosystems on Earth. Location Intertidal habitats at 26 locations (two rocky shore sites per location) across six continents, spanning 98° of latitude (38°S to 60°N). Time Period 2019–2022. Major T...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Controlled release of chemotherapeutic drugs is a key factor in cancer therapy. In this regard, temperature triggered release of drugs offers a precise control over the release within the tumour region, thus avoiding premature drug release and unspecific toxicity. In this work a novel polymeric N-isopropylacrylamide-based nanocarrier was developed to carry and release doxorubicin in response to the natural higher temperature o...
A hybrid framework to estimate live fuel moisture content through land surface modellingNARA Subscribed
Wildfires are among the most powerful natural phenomena that have severe environmental and social impacts. Their increasing frequency and intensity, driven by climate change and unsustainable land-use practices, emphasise the importance of reliable fire risk assessment tools. Live fuel moisture content (LFMC) is a key variable for wildfire risk assessment and management, as it directly influences fire behaviour and propagation...
