Dental spittoon biofilms as reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance: a longitudinal multi-omics study
ABSTRACT Dental chair spittoons are chronically exposed to saliva, aerosols, intermittent water flow, and chemical disinfectants, yet their biofilm ecology and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) dynamics remain poorly defined. We applied longitudinal 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shotgun...

Resin does not safeguard insect DNA during early decay despite preservation of soft tissues
Abstract The notion that plant resin acts as an exceptional preservative of insect DNA and soft tissues—functioning as a natural dehydration capsule—has been questioned in recent years, yet empirical support remains limited. We applied an actuotaphonomic approach across a 30-day...
