Introduction: Recent studies have emphasized the relationship between mental health and the human intestine microbiota. In this study, we evaluate the effect of consuming Biotics, on levels of depression, anxiety, and cognitive function.
Methods: This meta-analysis adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards. We searched MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov. All full-text articles and major reviews were manually searched for additional studies.
Results: The initial analysis was based on the concept that consuming Biotics causes changes in anxiety, measured using various instruments. This analysis showed that consuming Biotics significantly reduced anxiety in our study participants (SMD = 0.2894, Z = 2.46, P = 0.0139, I^2 = 92.4%). The meta-analysis included 4295 samples (2194 in the experimental group and 2101 in the control group). In terms of depression, the analysis showed that consuming Biotics significantly reduced depression in our study participants (SMD = 0.2942, Z = 2.13, P = 0.0335, I^2 = 91.7%). The meta-analysis included 3179 samples (1603 in the experimental group and 1576 in the control group). Regarding cognitive function, the analysis showed that consuming Biotics significantly improved cognitive function in our study participants (SMD = 0.4819, Z = 3.00, P = 0.0027, I^2 = 77.9%). The meta-analysis included 915 samples (470 in the experimental group and 445 in the control group).
Conclusions: Our results indicate that most recent studies support the effectiveness of probiotics in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and cognitive issues despite some discrepancies in the findings. People with mild symptoms may experience greater benefits from taking probiotics.

Rice, a staple food consumed by half of the world's population, is severely affected by the combined impact of abiotic and biotic stresses, with the former causing increased susceptibility of the plant to pathogens. Four microarray datasets for drought, salinity, tungro virus, and blast pathogen were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. A modular gene co-expression (mGCE) analysis was conducted, followed by gene set enrichment analysis to evaluate the upregulation of module activity across different stress conditions.

Trophic niche dynamics of two fish mesoconsumers in adjacent coastal habitats with varying nutrient regimes.

Changes of consumers' trophic niches, the n-dimensional biotic space that allows a species to satisfy its minimum requirements for population growth, are driven in part by shifts in the degree of individual resource use specialization within a population. Individual specialization results from complex trade-offs in inter- and intraspecific competition as organisms reduce niche overlap within a population or with heterospecifics. It is vital to build empirical knowledge on the trophic niche dynamics of consumers, given the role that niche dynamics play in food web stability, species coexistence, and population resilience, especially quantifying the trophic niche's expansion and contraction of coastal fish populations experiencing increasing frequency of environmental disturbance and habitat transformation.

Royal jelly (RJ) is a glandular secretion fed to developing honey bee larvae by adult worker bees. It is also a potential source of disease transmission in and between honey bee colonies. We endeavored to characterize the microbiome, virome, and other biota present in RJ via an integrated meta-omics approach.

Climate change is disrupting the semi-arid agricultural systems in Southern Africa, where livestock is crucial to food security and livelihoods. This review evaluates the bioenergetic and agroecological scope for climate-adaptive livestock nutrition in the region. An analysis of the literature on climate change implications on livestock nutrition and thermal welfare in the regional agroecological context was conducted.
