Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are endocrine-disrupting persistent organic pollutants (POPs) used as flame retardants in a wide range of commercial applications. We have previously reported neurobehavioral and metabolic reprogramming produced by developmental PBDEs. PBDEs perturb the microbiome, an influencer of life-long health, while probiotic supplementation with Limosilactobacillus reuteri (LR) can avert neurobehav...

Leaf photosynthesis and respiration are two of the largest carbon fluxes between the atmosphere and biosphere. Although experiments examining the warming effects on photosynthetic and respiratory thermal acclimation have been widely conducted, the sensitivity of various ecosystem and vegetation types to warming remains uncertain. Here we conducted a meta‐analysis on experimental observations of thermal acclimation worldwide. W...

The use of pile-supported breakwaters can be a cost-effective solution for wave energy dissipation when traditional rubble mound breakwaters are not suitable. For a cost-effective design of these barriers, it is essential to obtain accurate estimates of dynamic pressures and wave forces. Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the dynamic pressures and forces on a novel pile-supported breakwater with inclined perf...
