The role of transposable elements in the ecological morphogenesis under the influence of stress by R. N. Mustafin, E. K. Khusnutdinova

“…Transposons are sensors of environmental stress effects, which contribute to adaptation and speciation. These effects are due to changes in the mechanisms of morphogenesis, since transposons contain regulatory sequences that have cis and trans effects on specific protein-coding genes. …”

Review of Cadmium Bioaccumulation in Fish Exposed to Cadmium by Ju-Wook Lee, A-Hyun Jo, Yue-Jai Kang, Dain Lee, Cheol-Young Choi, Ju-Chan Kang, Jun-Hwan Kim

“…The accumulation varies depending on several factors such as dose, exposure route, exposure time, metal types, and biological status of the fish, and environmental parameters such as DO, salinity, pH, and metal speciation. As Cd speciation occurs in the water, the amount accumulated in the fish can vary, and consuming Cd-accumulated fish can pose a risk to human health. …”

The fate and mobility of chromium, arsenic and zinc in municipal sewage sludge during the co-pyrolysis process with organic and inorganic chlorides by Mahboub Saffari, Masomeh Moazallahi, Rezvan Mashayekhi

“…PVC treatments at 600 °C effectively reduced the total concentrations of As and Zn by 60% and 88.3%, respectively, while FeCl3 reduced Cr concentrations by up to 72.5%. Chemical speciation analysis showed that PVC treatments increased the residual fractions of As and Zn, reducing their bioavailability and environmental risk. …”

Radiolytic Stability of the TEHDGA-Impregnated Silica-Based Adsorbent for Extraction Chromatography by Miyazaki Yasunori, Sano Yuichi, Ishigami Ryoya

“…Gamma-ray and He2+ ion beam (which is simulating alpha-ray from Am-241, for example) were applied to the TEHDGA adsorbent to evaluate hydrogen gas production, leaching of organics by 3 M HNO3 solution, thermal characteristics and speciation of degradation products. These elements were brought together to assess the stability of the adsorbent after a run of MA separation from an irradiating raffinate of 1 kGy/h dose rate.…”

Slight thermal stress exerts genetic diversity selection at coral (Acropora digitifera) larval stages by Cristiana Manullang, Nozomi Hanahara, Ariyo Imanuel Tarigan, Yuko Abe, Mao Furukawa, Masaya Morita

“…The genes showing signs of positive selection in response to heat stress may have also been influenced by historical temperature fluctuations, as suggested by their association with loci identified during Acroporid speciation. These loci under codon-level positive selection during speciation highlight the potential role of genetic diversity in shaping adaptation to environmental changes over evolutionary timescales. …”

Reflections and trajectories for interdisciplinary research on the ecological transition by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…The published papers convey several reflections and research trajectories based on the need for a multiscalar nature of interventions, which guarantees effects that are induced to a broader environmental context than the one of reference, and for teams that address critical issues with a holistic and systemic inter- and transdisciplinary collaborative approach, in a sort of speciation of disciplines that modifies their traditional statutes; what emerges then is that the intangible and material tools we can deploy today are numerous also thanks to the possibilities offered by digital technologies in the different design, implementation and management phases of the process. …”
