Foundation species that modify their habitat can facilitate other species, including other foundation species. Most studies focus solely on a single foundation species, overlooking such facilitation cascades. In this study, ...

The hexagonal structure of LiBH4 at room temperature can be stabilised by substituting the BH4− anion with I−, leading to high Li-ion conductive materials. A thermodynamic description of the pseudo-binary LiBH4-LiI system ...

Constraining strain localization and the growth of shear fabrics within brittle fault zones at sub-seismic slip rates is important for understanding fault strength and frictional stability. We conducted direct shear ...

Plant biomass conversion by saprotrophic fungi plays a pivotal role in terrestrial carbon (C) cycling. The general consensus is that fungi metabolize carbohydrates, while lignin is only degraded and mineralized to CO2. ...

Peat is interesting; it is very wet and made from old plants and animals breaking down very slowly. Even though peatlands are just 3% of the land, they lock away 30% of Earth’s carbon. But sometimes people mess things up ...

The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) allows the assessment of the representation of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in climate models. While CMIP Phase 6 models display a large spread in ...

Anxiety disorders are characterized by the heightened anticipation of future threat. People with anxiety can go to extremes to avoid feared situations, and fear can spread to related situations. For example, being mocked ...

Autologous administration of attenuated Theileria parva-infected cells induces immunity to T. parva in cattle. The mechanism of attenuation, however, is largely unknown. Here, we used RNA sequencing of pathogenic and ...
