In the context of global change, marine organisms are subjected not only to gradual changes in abiotic parameters, but also to an increasing number of extreme events, such as heatwaves. However, we still know little about the influence of heatwaves on the structure of marine communities, and experimental studies are needed to test the impact of heatwaves alone and in combination with other environmental drivers. Here, we condu...

Soil organic matter (SOM) is an important component of ecosystem carbon stocks. Generally, SOM found in mineral and organo‐mineral soils can be categorised into two fractions: particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral‐associated‐organic matter (MAOM), both of which contain soil organic carbon (SOC). Understanding the relationship between SOC and SOM fractions provides insight into SOM decomposition and SOC storage potential...

Microbial processes regulating carbon cycling in ancient oceans remain poorly understood, yet characterizing these processes is critical for understanding early Earth biogeochemistry. Here, we investigate microbial communities associated with sinking particles regulating carbon cycling in meromictic Fayetteville Green Lake, a mid‐Proterozoic marginal ocean analog. The lake's photic zone spans oxic through sulfidic conditions,...

Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises multiple heterogeneous pathophysiological conditions commonly evaluated by suboptimal liver biopsies. This study aimed to elucidate the role of 13 diverse histological liver scores in assessing NAFLD disease activity using an in silico pharmacometric model-based approach. We further sought to investigate various noninvasive patient characteristics for their ability...

Biodiversity loss is increasing worldwide, necessitating effective approaches to counteract negative trends. Here, we assessed aquatic macroinvertebrate biodiversity in two river catchments in Switzerland; one significantly degraded and associated with urbanisation and instream barriers, and one in a near-natural condition. Contrary to our expectations, environmental heterogeneity was lower in the near-natural stream, with enh...
