Changes in the abundance and distribution of seaweeds have been reported worldwide. In Northwest Iberia, cold and warm affinity seaweeds have respectively decreased and increased their abundance. To improve our understanding of their vulnerability to future warming scenarios, the effects of warming on the photosynthetic and respiratory performance of seaweeds with cold-water (Fucus serratus and Vertebrata lanosa) and warm-water (Padina pavonica and Gigartina pistillata) affinities were compared in a highly resolved temperature gradient (7-31 °C) under controlled laboratory conditions. While neither the optimum temperature nor the photosynthetic rate at the optimum temperature showed consistent differences between water affinity groups, the temperature dependence of net photosynthesis was significantly higher in the warm-affinity group. Photosynthesis was less responsive than respiration to warming in cold-affinity seaweeds while both rates showed similar responsiveness in warm-affinity ones, suggesting that the relative responsiveness of respiration and photosynthesis to temperature may be indicative of warming susceptibility.

Phase stabilization of cesium lead iodide perovskites for use in efficient optoelectronic devices.

All-inorganic lead halide perovskites (LHPs) and their use in optoelectronic devices have been widely explored because they are more thermally stable than their hybrid organic‒inorganic counterparts. However, the active perovskite phases of some inorganic LHPs are metastable at room temperature due to the critical structural tolerance factor. For example, black phase CsPbI is easily transformed back to the nonperovskite yellow phase at ambient temperature.

In this study, a mixed fermentation strategy using grape-blended pear juice co-inoculated with 346 and ES488 was used to characterize the modifications of the flavor and antioxidant activity of Zaosu pear-Merlot grape alcoholic beverage. The optimum fermentation parameters identified using a fuzzy mathematical sensory evaluation model were an initial pH of 4.22, a ratio of 346 and ES488 inoculated 1.

To isolate the role of temperature, lab-based studies are increasingly used to assess and forecast disease risk under current and future climate conditions. However, in the field, the effects of temperature on parasitism may be mediated by other sources of variation, including local adaptation.

Phenotypic plasticity enables organisms to express a phenotype that is optimal in their current environment. The ability of organisms to obtain the optimum phenotype is determined by their (i) capacity for plasticity, which facilitates phenotypic adjustment corresponding to the amplitude of environmental change but also their (ii) rate of plasticity, because this determines if the expressed phenotype lags behind changes in the optimum. How the rate of- and capacity for plasticity have co-evolved will thus be critical for the resilience of organisms under different patterns of environmental change.
