Phylogeography of Cold Water Soft Coral spp. (Anthozoa, Octocorallia: Alcyonacea) Between South America and the West Antarctic Peninsula.

The Antarctic marine environment has a unique geologic and climatic history that has contributed to the evolution of high species diversity. Given the current trend of environmental warming, understanding the history of Antarctic species is crucial for predicting the impact of climate change on ecosystem function. Soft corals are a group of striking presence in the benthic marine assemblages in the Southern Ocean, which is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot.

The timing of marine heatwaves during the moulting cycle affects performance of decapod larvae.

Marine heatwaves (MHW) pose an increasing threat and have a critical impact on meroplanktonic organisms, because their larvae are highly sensitive to environmental stress and key for species' dispersion and population connectivity. This study assesses the effects of MHW on two key moulting cycle periods within first zoea of the valuable crab, Metacarcinus edwardsii. First, the changes in swimming behaviour during zoea I were recorded and associated to moult cycle substages.

Novel Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3-Fatty Acid Synthase Gene Fusion in Recurrent Epithelioid Glioblastoma Linked to Aggressive Clinical Progression.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults, with a median overall survival (OS) of 15-18 months despite standard treatments. Approximately 8% of GBM cases exhibit genomic alterations in fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), particularly FGFR1 and FGFR3. Next-generation sequencing techniques have identified various FGFR3 fusions in GBM.

Application of advance oxidation processes for elimination of carbamazepine residues in soils.

The reuse of treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation has enlarged the risk of pharmaceutical compound accumulation in soil and their potential translocation to crops. Therefore, it is necessary to apply effective techniques to remove these pollutants from soil. This work was aimed to study the effectiveness of two advance oxidation processes (photocatalysis and ozonation) in the degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ) residues in three different soil matrices.
