Urban greening is increasingly recognized as a nature-based solution (NBS) to address climate adaptation, social equity, and biodiversity conservation challenges. This study explores the innovative potential of schoolyards as key elements of urban green infrastructure (GI) to enhance ecological […]

Generative models of network formation can offer heuristic explanations for microscopic mechanisms that give rise to the large-scale structures observed in empirical data. Yet, most existing models generate pairwise networks, while many social and physical systems involve interactions in groups. […]

L'eau de rosée est une source alternative ou complémentaire d'eau potable. La rosée naturelle se forme la nuit, sur des surfaces refroidies en dessous de la température de rosée par échange radiatif entre la surface et le ciel. Les rendements des […]

Recombination suppression often evolves around sex-determining loci and extends stepwise, resulting in adjacent regions with different levels of divergence between sex chromosomes, called evolutionary strata. In Ascomycota fungi, evolutionary strata around the mating-type (MAT) locus have been […]

Cryptophycins are a group of cyclodepsipeptides that are among the most potent anti-proliferative agents ever described. The parent compound, cryptophycin-1 was isolated from two Nostoc cyanobacterial strains (ATCC 53789 and GSV224), and it binds tightly to tubulin, inhibits microtubule […]

Podospora anserina (Rabenh.) Niessl is a model fungus that was shown to belong to a complex of seven species with morphologically indistinguishable sexual fruiting bodies. Through the morphological analyses and ITS (Intergenic Transcribed Spacer) sequences of 86 newly-isolated strains, as well as […]

Much of today's sustainability discourse emphasizes efficiency, clean technologies, and smart systems, but largely underestimates fundamental physical constraints relating to energy-matter interactions. These constraints stem from the fact that Earth is a materially closed yet energetically open […]

Proprioception is the integrated sense of self-movement and body position in complex organisms. Here we describe a novel, mechanical form of proprioception driving directional choice making in tip-growing helical organisms. We show that C. albicans hyphae utilize their built-in helicity as an […]
