To predict and mitigate the effects of climate change on communities and ecosystems, the joint effects of extreme climatic events on species interactions need to be understood. Using the common ragweed ( L.)-leaf beetle () system, we investigated the effects of heat wave and elevated CO on common ragweed growth, secondary metabolism, and the consequent impacts on the beetle. The results showed that elevated CO and heat wave facilitated growth; further, accumulated large amounts of defensive secondary metabolites. Being fed on grown under elevated CO and heat wave conditions resulted in the poor performance of (high mortality, long development period, and low reproduction). Overall, under elevated CO, heat wave improved the defensive ability of against herbivores. On the other hand, enhanced adaptability to climatic changes may aggravate invasive plant distribution, posing a challenge to the control of invasive plants in the future.

Background: This study explored the potential of electrogastrography (EGG) and heart rate variability (HRV) as psychophysiological markers in experimental pain research related to the gut-brain axis. We investigated responses to the experience of pain from the visceral (rectal distension) and somatic (cutaneous heat) pain modalities, with a focus on elucidating sex differences in EGG and HRV responses.
Methods: In a sample of healthy volunteers (29 males, 43 females), EGG and ECG data were collected during a baseline and a pain phase.

One of the biggest challenges in food packaging is the creation of sustainable and eco-friendly packaging materials to shield foods from ultraviolet (UV) photochemical damage and to preserve the distinctive physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of foods throughout the supply chain. Accordingly, this study focuses on enhancing the UV shielding properties and biological activity of carboxylmethyl cellulose sodium (CMC) through modifications using zinc oxide (ZnO), copper oxide (CuO), and graphene oxide (GO) using the solution casting technique. The hybrid nanocomposites were characterized by fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and x-ray diffraction (XRD).

Wheat is an essential staple food, and its production and grain quality are affected by extreme temperature events. These effects are even more relevant considering the increasing food demand for a growing world population and the predicted augmented frequency of heat waves. This study investigated the impact of simulated heat wave (HW) conditions imposed during grain filling on starch granule characteristics, endosperm ultrastructure, and transcriptomic modulation of genes involved in starch synthesis and degradation.

Background: The hippocampus is associated with mood disorders, and the activation of quiescent neurogenesis has been linked to anxiolytic effects. Near-infrared (NIR) light has shown potential to improve learning and memory in human and animal models. Despite the vast amount of information regarding the effect of visible light, there is a significant gap in our understanding regarding the response of neural stem cells (NSCs) to NIR stimulation, particularly in anxiety-like behavior.
