Surface currents shape protist community structure across the Indo-Pacific.

Biogeographic structure in marine protist communities is shaped by a combination of dispersal potential and environmental selection. High-throughput sequencing and global sampling efforts have helped better resolve the composition and functions of these communities in the world's oceans using both molecular and visual methods. However, molecular barcoding data are critically lacking across the Indo-Pacific, a region widely considered the epicenter of marine biodiversity.

A rare case of Fournier's gangrene developing from colon perforation in an infant: A case report.

Fournier's gangrene, a rare and life-threatening soft tissue infection affecting the genitalia and perineum, results from various microorganisms. This rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis yields higher mortality and morbidity rates. We report a case of a 1-month-old male infant with Fournier's gangrene due to perforation transverse colon complicated with septic shock and pneumonia also accompanied by patent processus vaginalis.

Association of a Global Invasive Pest (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) with Local Parasitoids: Prospects for a New Approach in Selecting Biological Control Agents.

is a worldwide invasive pest that has caused significant economic damage. According to the classical biological control approach, natural enemies that can control invasive pests come from the same area of origin as the pests that have experienced coadaptation processes. However, the new association's approach suggests that local natural enemies are equally capable of controlling invasive pests.

Characteristics, Isolation Methods, and Biological Properties of Aucubin.

Aucubin is an iridoid glycoside widely spread in the families , , , , , , , and . This review is intended to provide data on the physicochemical characteristics, isolation methods, and biological activities of aucubin and its producing plants. Aucubin is unstable and can be deglycosylated into its aglycone, aucubigenin.

Usability and acceptance of crowd-based early warning of harmful algal blooms.

Crowdsensing has become an alternative solution to physical sensors and apparatuses. Utilizing citizen science communities is undoubtedly a much cheaper solution. However, similar to other participatory-based applications, the willingness of community members to be actively involved is paramount to the success of implementation.
