Impact of Seasonal Atmospheric Factors and Photoperiod on Floral Biology, Plant–Pollinator Interactions, and Plant Reproduction on <i>Turnera ulmifolia</i> L. (Passifloraceae) by Ujjwal Layek, Nandita Das, Arabinda Samanta, Prakash Karmakar

“…There is little information about plant species’ reproductive ecology and environmental factors’ impact on it. Here, we aimed to examine the effects of seasonal atmospheric factors (e.g., temperature, light, relative humidity, rainfall) and photoperiod on flowering, interactions with flower visitors, and the reproductive success of <i>Turnera ulmifolia</i> in West Bengal, India. …”

Fungi in the Gut Microbiota: Interactions, Homeostasis, and Host Physiology by Hao-Yu Liu, Shicheng Li, Kennedy Jerry Ogamune, Abdelkareem A. Ahmed, In Ho Kim, Yunzeng Zhang, Demin Cai

“…The mammalian gastrointestinal tract is a stage for dynamic inter-kingdom interactions among bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa, which collectively shape the gut micro-ecology and influence host physiology. Despite being a modest fraction, the fungal community, also referred to as mycobiota, represents a critical component of the gut microbiota. …”

Minimal Impacts of Tyre Particle Exposure on Estuarine Meiofaunal Community Structure, Primary Production, and Nutrient Cycling by Charlotte Woodhouse, Dannielle Senga Green, Andy Foggo, Paul J. Somerfield, Richard C. Thompson, Samantha L. Garrard

“…Tyre wear particles are a significant source of primary microplastics in the natural environment with the potential to accumulate in aquatic sediments, yet our understanding of the ecological impact of these particles is limited. Using mesocosms of estuarine sediment containing a model macrofauna community (<i>Scrobicularia plana</i> and <i>Hediste diversicolor</i>), meiofauna, and microphytobenthos, we investigated the impact of exposure to sedimentary tyre particles (0.2, 1, and 5% kg sediment(dw)⁻¹) upon meiofauna community structure, primary production, secondary production, and nutrient fluxes. …”
