Adaptive responses in Cambrian predator and prey highlight the arms race during the rise of animals.

Curr Biol

Predation is an important driver of species-level change in modern and fossil ecosystems, often through selection for defensive phenotypes in prey responding to predation pressures over time. Records of changes in shell morphology and injury patterns in biomineralized taxa are ideal for demonstrating such adaptive responses. The rapid increase in diversity and abundance of biomineralizing organisms during the early Cambrian is often attributed to predation and an evolutionary arms race.

Waste activated sludge (WAS) pose a potential risk for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This study estimated the effect of sludge on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in anaerobic sludge digestion process. Metagenomic analysis revealed anaerobic sludge with potassium ferrate (PF) and the modified PF loaded steel slag (MPF-SS) brought an increase of ARGs during digestion process.

Evidence for microbially-mediated tradeoffs between growth and defense throughout coral evolution.

Background: Evolutionary tradeoffs between life-history strategies are important in animal evolution. Because microbes can influence multiple aspects of host physiology, including growth rate and susceptibility to disease or stress, changes in animal-microbial symbioses have the potential to mediate life-history tradeoffs. Scleractinian corals provide a biodiverse, data-rich, and ecologically-relevant host system to explore this idea.

Perception of emotion conveyed through language is influenced by embodied experiences obtained from social interactions, which may vary across different cultures. To explore cross-cultural differences in the perception of emotion between Chinese and English speakers, this study collected norms of valence and arousal from 322 native Mandarin speakers for 4923 Chinese words translated from Warriner et al., (Behavior Research Methods, 45, 1191-1207, 2013).

Analysis of Toxic Elements Pollution Sources and Crop Health Risks in Soil of Typical Thallium Mining Area.

Arch Environ Contam Toxicol

January 2025

College of River and Ocean Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, People's Republic of China.

The investigation focused on Tl, Hg, As, and Sb as the targeted contaminants in the soil surrounding a thallium mining region in southwestern China. Potential sources of toxic elements were identified using correlation analysis and principal component analysis. By interpreting the results of correlation and principal component analysis, the potential sources of Tl, Hg, As, and Sb were identified to include the mining and smelting industry.
