Ontogenetic niche shifts are widespread and play a crucial role in ecosystems coupling. However, their interactions with climate change and the resulting impact on cross-ecosystem energy pathways should be better investigated. I address ecological and evolutionary responses of ontogenetic niche shifts to climate change.

Ontogenetic feeding shifts in two thresher shark species in the Galapagos Marine Reserve.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the feeding behavior and habitat use of thresher sharks in the Galapagos Marine Reserve, focusing on three life stages: neonate, juvenile, and adult.
- Significant differences in nitrogen isotopes (δN) were found between the two shark species, indicating different prey consumption patterns, while carbon isotopes (δC) showed similarity in habitat use.
- The neonate sharks displayed distinct isotopic signatures that suggest they still carry maternal influences, revealing important trophic dynamics and ontogenetic variations in their ecology.

Background: Climatic and geographic variations have profound effects on the resource utilization of individuals and populations. Evaluating resource use in different environments is crucial for understanding species ecological adaptation strategies and promoting biodiversity conservation. Stable isotopes are widely used to assess trophic niches, providing quantitative indicators of ecological interactions between organisms and resource use in ecosystems.

A growing realization indicates that the trophic ecology of jellyfish is more diverse than once thought, yet a holistic view reflecting the trophic structure and trophodynamics in bloom-forming jellyfish community remains rare. Based on stable isotope δC and δN analysis, we estimated the trophic characteristics of common blooms jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai, Cyanea spp., Aurelia coerulea and Aequorea spp.

In the era of a constantly growing number of reports on the therapeutic properties of dedifferentiated, ontogenetically rejuvenated cells and their use in the treatment of neurological diseases, the optimization of their derivation and long-term culture methods seem to be crucial. One of the solutions is seen in the use of dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) which are characterized by a greater homogeneity. Moreover, these cells seem to possess a higher expression of transcriptional factors necessary to maintain pluripotency (STRFs) as well as a greater ability to differentiate in vitro into three embryonic germ layers, and a high proliferative potential in comparison to adipose stem/stromal cells (ASCs).
