Effects of excess phosphate on a coastal plankton community: a mesocosm experiment in the Baltic Sea

This study investigates the effects of excess phosphate in a mesocosm experiment, showing that nitrogen addition reduces phosphate concentrations more effectively than carbon addition.

Microbial remineralization processes during post-spring-bloom excess phosphate in the northern Baltic Sea

The paper examines microbial processes in the Baltic Sea during post-spring-bloom phosphate excess, showing that alkaline phosphatase activity and shifts in bacterial communities affect nutrient cycling and organic matter export.

Passive epidemiological surveillance in wildlife in Costa Rica identifies pathogens of zoonotic and conservation importance

The paper evaluates the feasibility of establishing a passive epidemiological surveillance system in Costa Rica to detect zoonotic and conservation-important pathogens in wildlife, identifying key challenges and findings.

A global map of root biomass across the world's forests

The paper creates a high-resolution global root biomass map using field measurements and environmental data, finding lower root biomass than previous studies due to improved methods and data.

The TRAPP complex mediates secretion arrest induced by stress granule assembly

This study identifies TRAPP complex as a key mediator of secretion arrest during stress granule assembly in proliferating cells, showing its role in COPII recruitment and SG maturation.

Gut microbiota of the pine weevil degrades conifer diterpenes and increases insect fitness

This study shows that the gut microbiota of the pine weevil degrades conifer diterpenes, enhancing insect fitness by improving diet nutritional value rather than detoxification.
