How transgender, gender diverse (TGD) and cisgender youth cope with daily stress: Insights from an Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

This study investigated gender minority stress (GMS), coping, and mental health in trans, gender diverse (TGD) and cis youth in Germany and Austria and explored immediate effects of coping on stress in daily life. A 14-day Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) study containing th...

Snow microinvertebrates from lowlands, high mountains and the Arctic—implications for conservation efforts

Abstract The protection of cryospheric ecosystems and their biota cannot be properly defined without a detailed species inventory. Snow microinvertebrates are crucial for estimating cryophilic biodiversity, yet they are poorly described at broader spatial scales. To fill this kno...

Contrasting population genetic structures of freshwater eels ( Anguilla marmorata, A. bicolor, A. mossambica ) from Madagascar

Abstract Freshwater eels (genus Anguilla ) are of major biological and commercial interest due to their complex catadromous life cycle and as a high‐value fishery resource, but the biology of tropical species is still poorly understood. This study investigates the genetic integri...

Mapping structural heterogeneity in three-dimensional biophotonic gyroid networks using position-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering

Abstract The wings of select Papilionid and Lycaenid butterflies contain a three-dimensional gyroid network of a solid cuticle phase in air. In butterfly scales, gyroid networks are optically interesting, as they create the green colour observed in the wings of these butterflies....

More Than Fluid: AI-Derived Pleural Effusion Volume as a Marker of Cardiovascular Congestion in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Background/Objectives: Pleural effusions are frequently encountered on pre-procedural computed tomography (CT) scans in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While often regarded as a marker of congestion and advanced cardiovascular disease, their cl...

Crossing effects in the tactile temporal order judgment task: a meta-analysis

Abstract The tactile temporal order judgment (TOJ) task is widely used in multisensory neuroscience. Participants judge which of two tactile stimuli, one on each hand, came first. A key finding is that TOJ performance declines when the arms are crossed, likely due to interactions...

PanEuCOPT-01: Photodynamic Inactivation of fungal mycelial spheres of plant-pathogenic Botrytis cinerea

This protocol describes an assay for Photodynamic Inactivation of the plant-pathogenic filamentous fungal species Botrytis cinerea. Grey mold ( B. cinerea ) occurs worldwide and affects over 200 different crops. Several resistant strains of the species have been collected on fiel...

Engineering and land use intensified climate-driven Yangtze River flood hazards since the Little Ice Age

Understanding the interplay between climate variability and human activities is essential for assessing long-term river flood hazards. Yet, the relative contributions of natural and anthropogenic drivers to flood magnitude remain poorly constrained due to limited multicentury rec...

Flexible firewalls: selective cooperation and strategic demarcation between centre-right and far-right parties in the EU

The success of far-right parties across Europe has sparked debate about whether centre-right parties maintain or abandon the cordon sanitaire against the far right. Moving beyond this binary, we conceptualise centre-right strategy in European Union politics as ‘flexible firewalls...

Biomarkers of systemic disease burden and outcomes after transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair

Abstract Background Risk stratification after transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) remains challenging, particularly in patients with advanced right-sided heart failure and systemic disease burden. Biomarkers reflecting inflammation, stress response and multiorgan...
