Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a major viral pathogen threatening grouper aquaculture. The lack of specific antiviral drugs underscores the urgent need to develop safe and effective control strategies. This study demonstrates that tannic acid (TA) exhibits significant anti‐SGIV activity in vitro. In grouper spleen (GS) cells, TA inhibited SGIV replication in a concentration‐dependent manner. Time‐of‐addition assays con...

Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a highly pathogenic virus that causes substantial economic losses in marine grouper aquaculture, and effective antiviral agents are currently lacking. In this study, the anti‐SGIV activity of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a natural compound from green tea, was evaluated and its underlying mechanisms were investigated. Cytotoxicity assays showed that EGCG at concentrations up to 12.5 μg...

Trait matching, the phenomenon where ecological interactions are mediated by compatibility, constitutes a cornerstone of frugivore–fruit interaction network dynamics. Given that biotic interactions have long been hypothesized to be more intense or specialized in the tropics, the intensity of trait matching patterns might likewise exhibit a latitudinal gradient in frugivory networks, yet this remains unverified. Here, we establ...

Aim The evolution of fruit size is poorly understood, though long‐standing hypotheses, the dispersal syndrome hypothesis and correlated evolution hypothesis, have highlighted the influence of frugivores and phylogeny on fruit size variation. Location Interaction networks were extracted from studies carried out in Asia, Europe, Africa, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and the Neotropics. Time Period Up to 50 years between 1970 an...

Aim This study aimed to infer the allocation of belowground net primary productivity (BNPP) to sequential soil depths down to 2 m across the globe at a 1 km resolution and assess underlying environmental drivers. Location Global. Time Period Contemporary (1932–2017). Major Taxa Studied Terrestrial plants. Methods Global datasets including field net primary production (NPP, i.e., the difference between plant assimilated and res...

Background Long-non-coding RNA PVT1 (lncRNA PVT1) can be used as an oncogenic regulatory non-coding RNA (ncRNA) for many cancers. However, its function and mechanism in breast cancer (BRCA) are still not clearly elucidated. Objective We attempt to explain the mechanism of PVT1’s role in breast cancer from different perspectives. Methods We analyzed the expression of PVT1 and its correlation with the breast cancer related clini...

Scatter‐ and larder hoarding are the primary strategies of food‐hoarding animals and have important implications for plant‐animal interactions and plant recruitment. However, their origins and influencing factors have not been fully investigated across a wide range of taxa. Our systematic literature search amassed data for 183 seed‐hoarding rodent species worldwide and tested relationships of seed‐hoarding behaviours with phyl...
