abstract = {Varroa destructor is a major ectoparasite of honey bees, and the development of amitraz resistance threatens the long-term efficacy of one of the most widely used acaricides in apiculture. This study assessed amitraz susceptibility in Varroa populations from three Polish apiaries and examined whether differences in susceptibility were associated with population-specific detoxification enzyme responses. Amitraz toxicity was evaluated using vial bioassays and probit dose–response modelling, while glutathione S-transferase (GST) and nonspecific esterase activities were measured in surviving mites. The studied populations differed markedly in amitraz susceptibility. Population A1 showed an LC₅₀ of 0.0043 ppm, whereas A2 had an LC₅₀ of 0.0627 ppm and a conservative RR₅₀ lower bound of > 12.54, indicating strong amitraz resistance. In the reference population, mortality was 100% at all tested amitraz concentrations; therefore, the LC₅₀ was reported as < 0.005 ppm. Multivariate analyses revealed distinct population-specific detoxification profiles. A1 exhibited a pronounced esterase-dominant response at the lowest amitraz concentration, whereas the strongly resistant A2 population showed sustained GST-dominant activity across increasing amitraz concentrations at which mites survived. Further analysis demonstrated that enzymatic responses depended on both population origin and amitraz exposure. These findings suggest that amitraz resistance may be associated not with a generalized increase in detoxification capacity, but with the activation and persistence of specific enzymatic pathways, particularly GST-mediated detoxification. Because live honey bees are traded internationally, the occurrence of strongly resistant Varroa populations in exporting countries may have consequences beyond local beekeeping and highlights the need for coordinated resistance surveillance within international bee-trade networks.},

abstract = {Geophysical surveys, including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), provide essential insights into the probed subsurface formations, including snow cover. However, interpreting snow structure within GPR data remains challenging. To address this, the study establishes a direct link between GPR signal characteristics and snowpack structure using field GPR soundings and snowpit analyses from Hansbreen (glacier located in the South Svalbard) across five spring seasons (2008; 2011; 2016; 2018; and 2019). Based on measured snow layer densities, a forward wave propagation model was developed using gprMax software. Amplitude variations of field and simulated signals were converted to absolute extreme values (AEVs), normalized, and compared using quantitative similarity metrics. In the upper sections of each paired dataset, 3 to 11 corresponding signal peaks (local AEV maxima) were recognized. Identified AEV peaks correspond to structural boundaries with significant relative permittivity contrasts. Among these, ice layers play a key role in linking snow stratigraphy with the in situ GPR profile, accounting for over 50% of the matched AEV peaks. Similarity measures confirm a significant relationship between simulated and field GPR signals (with the highest agreement in 2008), thereby validating that snowpack stratigraphy is effectively captured in radar imagery. Sites in the glacier accumulation zone exhibit stronger agreement than those in the ablation area due to a higher frequency of signal peaks. Simulated signals exhibited high AEV variability in the upper temporal section and low AEVs in the lower section, reflecting a heterogeneous snowpack overlying more homogenous ice or firn substrate. Comparing field GPR soundings with simulated signals provides a solid basis for relating snow stratigraphy directly to GPR data.},

The structural and microstructural characteristics governing the efficiency of the synthesis process were investigated using complementary techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The results reveal that the NZFO crystallite size remains nearly constant across the investigated composition range, while the structural integrity of the carbon matrix is preserved. The redistribution of cations between the A-tetrahedral and B-octahedral sites was quantified by the cation inversion parameter (δ). Magnetic characterization indicates the presence of a cluster-glass state in the NZFO nanoparticles. A core-shell-like magnetic structure, consisting of a magnetically ordered core surrounded by a disordered magnetic dead layer (MDL), is identified. The magnetic behaviour is discussed within the framework of the Yafet–Kittel model, taking into account the evolution of the cation inversion parameter. Comparative analysis of photoemission spectra highlights the contributions of magnetic trivalent iron at A and B sites and Fe-based residual species originating from the carbon matrix, irrespective of the NZFO content in the composites. These findings provide insight into the interplay between the ferrite phase and the carbon nanotube matrix, elucidating the origins of the observed synergic effects in NZFO/f-MWCNT nanocomposites.},

abstract = {Founder density can influence both reproductive output and offspring quality in stored-product insects, yet the behavioural mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. We examined the effects of founder female density (1; 2; 5; and 10 females per container) on fecundity, egg distribution, offspring performance, and sex ratio in the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus developing on mung bean (Vigna radiata). Increasing founder density significantly reduced per-capita fecundity and offspring production. Eggs per female declined from 189.3 ± 49.4 at the lowest density to 49.8 ± 2.7 at the highest density, while offspring production per female showed a similar decrease. In contrast, the mean number of eggs per occupied seed increased with density, indicating greater egg aggregation. Egg distribution patterns differed markedly among sets (χ2 = 1346.2; p < 0.001), demonstrating a strong density-dependent shift in oviposition behaviour. Higher founder densities also produced lighter offspring and altered development time, consistent with increased larval competition within seeds. Although offspring number and female body mass were positively correlated at the container level, this relationship disappeared after controlling for founder density, suggesting that both traits were influenced by a common density-dependent process rather than a direct quantity-quality trade-off. Offspring sex ratio remained unaffected by founder density. Our results demonstrate that high founder density influenced not only reproductive output in a negative correlation but also patterns of host exploitation and offspring quality. Density-dependent changes in egg distribution appear to represent an important mechanism linking adult density to offspring performance in this economically important stored-product pest.},

abstract = {Adaptive plant development is orchestrated, among other means, by directional, intercellular transport of the phytohormone auxin. Self-organizing phenomena such as flexible vasculature formation depend on auxin canalization, which manifests as the gradual formation of auxin-transporting channels through feedback between auxin signalling and transport. Here we identify MAKR6 as a component of this feedback. MAKR6 transcripts accumulate in vascular cells and are tightly regulated by auxin via the Aux/IAA–ARF–WRKY23 transcriptional cascade. MAKR6 is required for auxin canalization-dependent processes, including leaf venation, vascular regeneration and de novo channel formation from local auxin sources. Mechanistically, MAKR6 interacts with the PIN1 auxin transporter and modulates its trafficking and polarization. MAKR6 also associates with and integrates TMK1/4 and CAMEL–CANAR, two key receptor-like kinase complexes involved in canalization. Together, our study establishes MAKR6 as a multifaceted regulator that couples transcriptional auxin signalling to PIN1 repolarization and coordinates multiple RLK-mediated pathways into a concerted process. This provides mechanistic insight into auxin canalization and exemplifies a framework for exploring similar regulatory nodes in other developmental contexts.},

They occur inside and on the surface of plant cells, but mainly at the interface between the plasma membrane and the cell wall. Reports on the occurrence of arabinogalactan proteins in plastids are very rare and unclear. Our goal was to determine whether AGP-reactive carbohydrate epitopes are associated with plastids and starch in turion cells of Aldrovanda vesiculosa L. To do this, the localization of the AGP-reactive carbohydrate epitopes was assessed using immunolabeling and confocal and electron microscopy. Abundant signals for the antibodies LM2 and JIM8 against the AGP epitopes were detected in plastids. The LM2 signals were particularly frequent in starch grains. Also, electron microscopy confirmed the presence of AGP-reactive carbohydrate epitopes in plastids. These findings provide further evidence for the unusual intracellular localization of AGP-reactive carbohydrate epitopes in plastids and highlight starch grains as a target for future studies aimed at determining the molecular identity and biological significance of these epitopes.},

This represents the second occurrence of this rare mineral, previously known only from the hydrothermally altered chert at the Shimoharai mine, Japan. At Graulai, miyahisaite occurs as colorless anhedral crystals, up to 300–400 μm in size, within a complex late-stage mineral assemblage that includes leucite, nepheline, diopside, fluorapatite, götzenite, delhayelite, lamprophyllite-group minerals, magnetite, fresnoite, oxyphlogopite, and perovskite.

Comprehensive physicochemical characterization confirmed the formation of distinct oxygen- and nitrogen containing surface functionalities and the retention of hierarchical porosity. Surface modification decreased the BET area from 689 m2 g−1 for CMM to 213 and 332 m2 g−1 for Coxo and Cnitro, respectively, whereas Coxo exhibited a higher total acidity than Cnitro (2.380 vs. 1.845 mmol g−1). Under solvent-free conditions at 55 °C for 1 h, Coxo and Cnitro catalyzed nine polyol-ketone reactions with conversions of 53.8–91.5% and 50.0–86.2%, respectively, and selectivities toward the corresponding cyclic ketals of 91.7–100%. In comparison, the parent CMM afforded only 0–4.2% conversion. The highest conversion was achieved in the reaction of glycerol with acetone using Coxo (91.5%) and Cnitro (86.2%). Selected acetone-derived 1,3-dioxolanes were subsequently evaluated as foliar-fertilization adjuvants in maize and demonstrate the potential of the synthesized 1,3-dioxolanes in foliar nutrient delivery.},

abstract = {Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is a climate-resilient pseudocereal; however, its global adoption is constrained by the heteromorphic self-incompatibility associated with distyly. While the S-locus early flowering 3 (FeS-ELF3) gene has been identified as a key regulator of self-compatibility, a stable genetic transformation of F. esculentum has not yet been developed. In this study, we established an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol for F. esculentum by adapting an F. tataricum procedure, incorporating a heat-shock treatment at 43 °C for 5 min. This achieved a transgenic frequency of 27.27% among regenerated plants (6/22) and an absolute editing efficiency of 4.55% (1/22) in the agronomically relevant ‘Panda’ cultivar. Targeted knockout of FeS-ELF3 via CRISPR/Cas9 yielded a self-compatible line with long-homostylous flowers. Plants derived from this single edited founder event exhibited architectural shifts - specifically reduced height and shorter inflorescences – without an apparent reduction in seed yield under greenhouse conditions. Because these observations stem from a single edited line, further evaluation of independent mutant lines or complementation assays is required to definitively distinguish FeS-ELF3-specific pleiotropic effects. Nevertheless, this study provides a proof-of-concept for overcoming self-incompatibility and establishes a genomic framework for the rapid improvement of Fagopyrum esculentum.},

abstract = {Stalked crinoids were widespread in shallow-marine ecosystems throughout much of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic but are confined to deep-sea environments today. In the Tethyan realm, this bathymetric restriction is inferred to have begun in the Cretaceous and was largely completed by the Eocene. This pattern started during the Mesozoic Marine Revolution when predators and predation became more prevalent. Whether this pattern was globally synchronous remains uncertain. We compiled Jurassic–Neogene occurrences of stalked crinoids from the Panthalassan realm to evaluate long-term bathymetric trends. Throughout the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Paleogene, deep-water occurrences constitute a consistently minor component of the stalked crinoid record (3–13%), with the Cretaceous interval yielding the lowest relative proportion. An increase in the relative proportion of deep-water occurrences to 57% is observed only in the Neogene. These results indicate that the transition toward deep-sea restriction was temporally decoupled from ecological escalation in the late Mesozoic and was not globally synchronous. In the Panthalassan realm, shallow-marine persistence extended well beyond the interval of Tethyan depth restriction, underscoring the importance of basin-scale perspectives in interpreting the Meso-Cenozoic marine restructuring. Together, these findings challenge the assumption of a globally synchronized Mesozoic Marine Revolution–driven bathymetric shift and recast deep-sea restriction as a spatially asynchronous, long-term macroecological transition.},

abstract = {This study constructs ML models for flood susceptibility modeling in Kyrgyzstan’s three primary urban hubs: Jalal-Abad, Osh, and Tokmok. By developing a robust and explainable modeling approach, this study provides valuable insights into flood susceptibility assessment in these flood-prone metropolitan areas. A detailed flood inventory dataset was created using Sentinel-1 satellite imagery to delineate flood and non-flood areas and to integrate values for flood-contributing factors. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms: Random Forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), and AdaBoost were deployed to generate flood susceptibility maps. Subsequently, model performance was rigorously evaluated using various statistical metrics, including accuracy, kappa coefficient, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC-ROC). All three models gave success and prediction rate curve values above 84%. The averages of the very high susceptibility class for the cities of Jalal-Abad, Osh, and Tokmok were 8.44%, 12.01%, and 37.8%, respectively. Additionally, SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) analysis was employed to interpret and explain the importance of flood-contributing factors in the predictive models, enhancing model interpretability and providing insights into flood susceptibility mechanisms.},

abstract = {With the increasing production and use of carbon-based nanomaterials, understanding their potential biological effects on non-target organisms has become increasingly important. In this study, we investigated the sublethal effects of two water-soluble fullerene derivatives, C60-PEI and C70-PEI on the post-embryonic development of Drosophila melanogaster larvae. Thus, three successive larval stages (L1; L2; L3) were cultured in medium containing 1 mg mL−1 of fullerene C60 or C70. To link subcellular endpoints to whole-larval developmental effects, we compared midgut ultrastructure, oxidative stress, cell cycle phase distribution, and DNA damage, alongside metamorphosis success. Both fullerene derivatives reduced metamorphosis success relative to the control (90.1%; SE 4.9), by 23.3 (SE 6.9) and 37.9 (SE 6.9) percentage points for C60-PEI and C70-PEI, respectively (both Bonferroni-adjusted p ≤ 0.006); the two derivatives did not differ significantly from each other (p = 0.13). Flow cytometry suggested oxidative imbalance as a contributing mechanism, while TEM confirmed cellular uptake. Although no widespread cell death was observed, the C70-PEI group showed isolated autophagosomes at the L2 and L3 stages, suggesting a protective autophagic response. Importantly, these effects occurred without photoactivation, representing a conservative estimate of biological activity, as light exposure typically amplifies fullerene-induced ROS generation. Because impaired metamorphosis emerged at an exposure that left midgut ultrastructure largely intact, morphological endpoints alone are an insufficient basis for judging the safety of functionalized fullerenes, and developmental endpoints in insects should be included in their risk assessment.},

abstract = {Many studies have shown that geological processes, such as metamorphism and metasomatism, consist of multiple superimposed events developing over various timescales, with each stage overprinting the previous one and thus complicating reconstruction of the complete history. Here, we report the use of a natural calcium aluminum borosilicate mineral axinite-(Fe) [(Ca2Fe2+Al2BSi4O15(OH)]; which occurs in skarn deposits; as a starting material in a series of experiments representing various metasomatic processes. The fluids used include NaF+H2O; NaCl+H2O; KCl+H2O; CaCl2+H2O; 2 M NaOH; 2 M KOH; Ca(OH)2+H2O; and Na2Si2O5+H2O; which are representative of common crustal fluids. The experiments were conducted at 600 °C; 200 MPa and at 800 °C; 500 MPa. The dominant experimental product was grandite garnet and; to a minor extent; wollastonite; titanite; and fluorite. Grandite garnet compositions vary significantly with respect to the fluid composition and the P-T conditions used; showing a wide range of grossular to andradite solid solutions. Under both P-T conditions; andradite-grossular zoning develops in experiments with metal-hydroxide–bearing fluids; whereas andradite-rich grandite garnet crystallizes in experiments utilizing Na2Si2O5+H2O. Despite varying physicochemical conditions; no differences are observed in the REE-chondrite normalized patterns from the product grandite garnet in each of the experiments. Wollastonite contains bustamite and ferrobustamite components whose composition is strongly controlled by the coexisting grandite garnet. These experiments provide important insights into understanding how first order skarn mineral assemblages may be altered during subsequent fluid-rock interaction under a variety of P-T conditions; highlighting how variations in the grandite garnet composition respond to variations in fluid composition.},

abstract = {Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration- and sensory-related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira. Here, we describe nasal capsule development in the pleurodiran turtle Emydura subglobosa based on histological cross-sections of five distinct developmental stages and three-dimensional reconstructions. The nasal capsule underwent marked reorganization between Emyd. subglobosa developmental stages 4− and 5− (ES 4− and ES 5−), during which its basic architecture became established. Several features are notable. First, the nasal entrance shows distinctive pleurodiran specializations, including a processus supranarinus communis formed by medial fusion of the paired processus supranarini and a dorsally projecting processus rostralis medialis formed from the paired processus infranarini. In addition, Emyd. subglobosa possesses a fenestra rostralis at the nasal entrance, a feature not identified in other turtles examined to date. Second, the floor of the nasal capsule exhibits the expanded solum nasi complex characteristic of turtles, including the lamina transversalis anterior, pars paraseptalis, and pila supraglandularis, together with a canalis praepalatinus and a posteriorly facing fenestra basalis. Third, the pars ectochoanalis differs between the two major turtle clades: in pleurodires, it extends only slightly caudally, whereas in cryptodires it typically extends farther caudally and forms the ventral margin of the ductus nasopharyngeus. These findings provide a developmental framework for interpreting pleurodiran nasal morphology and a broader comparative framework for understanding turtle nasal evolution.},

abstract = {Industrializing arid regions face a dual challenge: ensuring water suitability for emerging industries while protecting public health amidst chronic data scarcity. This study confronts this issue in northeastern Algeria by developing and validating an interpretable machine learning (ML) framework to predict industrial water quality and associated health risks from limited groundwater data. Based on 45 samples collected from the Debila and El-Oued regions of the Souf Valley, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Random Forest (RF), and Decision Tree (DT) models were trained to predict seven corrosion and scaling potential (CSP) indices, namely the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), Ryznar Stability Index (RSI), Aggressive Index (AI), Puckorius Scaling Index (PSI), Larson-Skold Index (LS), Chloride-Sulphate Mass Ratio (CSMR), and Revelle Index (RI), alongside the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCME-WQI). Physicochemical analysis revealed pervasive water quality deterioration, with 60% of samples exhibiting corrosive tendencies (LSI < 0) and 85% showing high corrosion risk (RSI > 6.8). All sites were uniformly classified as “Poor” by the CCME-WQI, and Monte Carlo simulations (10;000 iterations) confirmed significant non-carcinogenic health risks from nitrate for children (mean Hazard Index > 1.0). The ANN and RF models demonstrated robust predictive power, achieving R² values above 0.90 for six of the eight predicted indices. SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) analysis identified the dominant hydrochemical drivers for each index, providing a transparent and actionable basis for targeted monitoring. This study presents a novel, validated, and transferable ML-based decision support tool that simultaneously integrates industrial process risks with public health assessment, offering a replicable water management paradigm for data-limited, industrializing regions worldwide.},

abstract = {Climate change poses a major threat to agricultural productivity and, consequently, to global food security. Among the consequences of climate change, heat stress (HS) has emerged as a critical factor limiting crop performance. This has stimulated extensive research over the past decade to elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying plant responses to HS. Recent findings indicate that the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway, associated with the maintenance of genome integrity, also plays an important role in plant thermotolerance. This review summarizes recent advances linking DDR components to plant HS responses. We discuss the involvement of the canonical DDR pathway, with particular emphasis on the role of SUPPRESSOR OF GAMMA RESPONSE 1 (SOG1) and its downstream targets in HS responses. In addition, we highlight emerging SOG1-independent modules, including the HOS1–RECQ2 pathway, as well as the recent insights into the plant DREAM complex, which further strengthens the connection between DDR and HS responses. Together, these findings position DDR as a key regulatory node coordinating genome stability, stress signalling and growth modulation under HS conditions. A deeper understanding of this connection may provide new opportunities for developing heat-tolerant crops and improving agricultural resilience in the context of global climate change.},
