The genus Plectranthus sensu lato is known to produce abietanes, which exhibit significant potency against Gram-positive bacteria. It is hypothesized that abietanes exert their antibacterial effects by disrupting microbial cell walls. Recent studies have classified Plectranthus s.l . abietanes into six distinct groups. However, the impact of this chemical diversity on the response of abietanes against Gram-positive bacteria re...
Global assessment of the biodiversity safeguards of development banks that finance infrastructureNARA Subscribed
Infrastructure development is a major driver of biodiversity loss globally. With upward of US$2.5 trillion in annual investments in infrastructure, the financial sector indirectly drives this biodiversity loss. At the same time, biodiversity safeguards (project‐level biodiversity impact mitigation requirements) of infrastructure financiers can help limit this damage. The coverage and harmonization of biodiversity safeguards ar...
Global efforts to deliver internationally agreed goals to reduce carbon emissions, halt biodiversity loss, and retain essential ecosystem services have been poorly integrated. These goals rely in part on preserving natural (e.g., native, largely unmodified) and seminatural (e.g., low intensity or sustainable human use) forests, woodlands, and grasslands. To show how to unify these goals, we empirically derived spatially explic...
Correction to: Recommendations for the nomenclature of enteroviruses and rhinovirusesNARA Subscribed
Unfortunately, one of the affiliations of author “A. E. Gorbalenya” was missed in original version. The affiliation is updated here.
Enteroviruses (EVs) and rhinoviruses (RVs) are significant pathogens of humans and are the subject of intensive clinical and epidemiological research and public health measures, notably in the eradication of poliovirus and in the investigation and control of emerging pathogenic EV types worldwide. EVs and RVs are highly diverse in their antigenic properties, tissue tropism, disease associations and evolutionary relationships,...
