The ornamental fish trade is one of the major pathways for freshwater fish invasions, with their co-occurrence increasingly common due to rising numbers of non-native species. This co-occurrence can yield ecological surprises through non-additive trophic effects, which can influence levels of predatory impacts. In freshwaters, biotic interactions are heavily mediated by waterborne chemical cues, which could potentially alter t...

Integrating innovative technologies into plant breeding is critical to bolster food and nutritional security under biotic and abiotic stresses in changing climates. While breeding efforts have focused primarily on yield and stress tolerance, emerging evidence highlights the need to also prioritize nutritional quality. Advanced molecular breeding approaches have enhanced our ability to develop improved crop varieties and could...

Combined heat and humidity is frequently described as the main driver of human heat‐related mortality, more so than dry‐bulb temperature alone. While based on physiological thinking, this assumption has not been robustly supported by epidemiological evidence. By performing the first systematic comparison of eight heat stress metrics (i.e., temperature combined with humidity and other climate variables) with warm‐season mortali...
