Energy density and mode of ultrasound application in fresh cow milk: Microbiological, physicochemical, and techno-functional properties by Miguel Angel Solano-Cornejo, Meliza Lindsay Rojas

“…In contrast, there were no effects on pH, viscosity, or rennet sensitivity. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that higher ultrasound energy densities cause intermediate microbial reductions (regarding conventional pasteurization, it was similar for VMA but lower for TC) without a negative impact on physicochemical and techno-functional properties, which can be correlated with different changes in the fresh milk macro components.…”

Remote Sensing Reveals Multi-Dimensional Functional Changes in Fish Assemblages Under Eutrophication and Hydrological Stress by Anastasiia Zymaroieva, Dmytro Bondarev, Olga Kunakh, Jens-Christian Svenning, Oleksander Zhukov

“…By employing a combination of extensive ichthyological field surveys and satellite-derived environmental indices (including NDVI, chlorophyll-a, turbidity, and spectral proxies for algal blooms), we assessed the impacts of eutrophication, hydrological alterations, and climate warming on functional structure. Our results reveal three key responses in fish functional diversity: (1) a decline in functional specialization and imbalance, indicating the loss of unique ecological roles and increased redundancy; (2) a rise in functional divergence, reflecting a shift toward species with outlying trait combinations; and (3) a complex pattern in functional richness, with trends varying by site and trait structure. …”
