Die Aussagen von Bundeskanzler Merz über ein "Problem" im Stadtbild in Bezug auf Migration sind aus Sicht von Soziologe Daniel Kubiak rassistisch - und haben historische Parallelen in der Nazi-Zeit.

Research project team say Labour’s proposed nature restoration fund would end up being a ‘pay-to-destroy system’

Despite billions of passerines seasonally migrating during the night at high altitudes, only three bat species have been found to consistently tap into this rich prey resource. However, it remains unk...

The authors identify AgcT as the glycosyltransferase required for synthesis of Bacteroides fragilis-derived α-galactosylceramides (BfaGCs), metabolites known to regulate natural killer T cells, and its structural homologue BgsB that synthesizes α-glycosyl diacylglycerols (aGDGs). They establish a functional link between the production of BfaGCs or aGDGs and the activity and development of natural killer T cells.

Nature Chemistry - When the facts can’t speak for themselves, scientists can give them a voice, argues Michelle Francl.

Abstract. How host-associated microbial communities evolve as their hosts diversify remains equivocal: how conserved is their composition? What was the com

Darwin ascribed fitness to individuals with a “better chance of surviving and propagating their kind”1. Subsequently, the search for the genetic basis of fitness focused on traits of the generation th...

Gut microbiomes are central to host ecology and evolution, yet the mechanisms driv-ing their diversification remain elusive, partly because host evolution and biogeography are often confounded. The re...

The expansion of renewable energy is urgently needed to reduce carbon emissions, but it can entail some trade-offs with biodiversity. Here, we argue that synergistic implementation strategies are poss...
