As global populations age, active aging and lifelong learning have become critical policy objectives. In Taiwan, the Ministry of Education (MOE) promotes Older Adults’ Self-Guided Learning Groups (OASLGs); however, the...

Abstract Egypt’s New Delta Project, one of the country’s largest land reclamation initiatives, aims to boost agricultural production, support population growth, and strengthen food and water security. However, large-...

Abstract Microorganisms play key roles in nutrient cycling and soil remediation in saline-alkaline ecosystems. However, how their assembly rules and interaction networks change during natural succession remains unclear. ...

Caimans of the species Caiman latirostris, which are widely distributed in South America, are opportunistic predators. They show ontogenetic variation in diet, with young individuals initially feeding on invertebrates an...

Patagonia offers several examples of local adaptation in the exotic rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Specifically, the Valcheta Stream, characterized by hot spring headwaters and temperate lower reaches, was initially ...

The Gulf of Squillace, in the Calabrian Ionian Sea, where we have been conducting scientific research and marine monitoring since 2019, has proven to be an important area for pelagic animals, including seabirds and sea t...

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophages and plasmids profoundly shape microbial community structure and drive horizontal gene transfer across ecosystems. Wastewater treatment systems, with their high cell d...

BackgroundBuilt environments shape navigation, attention, and motor control through continuous brain–body-environment coupling, yet architecture, rehabilitation, and clinical mobility practice still lack a shared quant...

Assessing ecosystem service values (ESV) and human activity intensity (HAI) is essential for ecosystem management and human well-being. Focusing on the southwest Guangxi Karst–Beibu Gulf (SWG–KBG), this study adopts ...

Neltuma spp. (previously known as Prosopis spp.) are vital for ecological restoration and sustainable forestry in arid and semiarid environments. Although extensively studied, nursery techniques are still inconsistently ...

Background - Plants in over one hundred families in habitats worldwide bear extrafloral nectaries (EFNs). EFNs display a remarkable diversity of evolutionary origins, as well as diverse morphology and location on the pla...

Forests play an important role in water and carbon cycles in semiarid regions such as the Mediterranean ecosystems. Previous research in the Chilean Mediterranean forests revealed a break point in 1980 in regional tree-r...

Abstract Fusarium-induced root rot severely constrains Panax notoginseng cultivation, yet the differential pathogenicity and ecological interactions among coexisting Fusarium species remain poorly understood. By isolatin...

The complex interplay between socioeconomic progress and environmental protection poses a major challenge to sustainable development in lake basins. To assess the dynamic relationship between these dimensions, this study...

Abstract Background Terpenes and phenolic compounds are multifunctional plant metabolites that contribute to defense, signaling, and ecological interactions, while supporting industrial applications. Here, we implemented...

The paper analyses the spatial diversification of organic farming development in the gminas of the Lodzkie voivodeship in years 2008–2016. The level of the studied phenomenon was defined by a synthetic measure based on...

Soil reclamation is a crucial strategy for restoring degraded land and improving agricultural productivity, yet the underlying microbiological mechanisms that drive soil quality improvement remain inadequately understood...

Abstract Marine heatwaves, and other extreme climatic events, are driving mass mortality of habitat‐forming species and substantial ecological change worldwide. However, habitat fragmentation is rarely considered despi...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cervical cancer can be prevented by early detection through regular screening. The American Cancer Society advocates the initiation of cervical cancer screening from 25 years of age. Few stud...

The article reveals the demographic-labor atrophy of Ukraine as an integral socio-economic phenomenon, which, under conditions of prolonged polycrisis (military actions, demographic depletion, labor market distortions, s...

This article examines how floodwater can become a driver of urban resilience in Addis Ababa. Focusing on the Upper Kebena River basin, the study analyzes how rapid urbanization, steep geomorphology, low- infiltration soi...

Identifying the factors that promote the success of biological invasions is a key pursuit in ecology. To date, the link between animal personality and invasiveness has rarely been studied. Here, we examined in the labora...

Intestinal microbiota of aquatic animals is closely associated with the environment, influencing their health, immune defense, and environmental adaptability. To understand the relationships among the Manila clam (Rudita...

Vaginal Lactobacillus salivarius CRL 1328 (Centro de Referencia para Lactobacilos Culture Collection) or the bacteriocin that produces could be included in a urogenital probiotic formula to prevent urogenital infections ...
