Contrasting microbial assembly patterns in the woody endosphere of hybrid and non-hybrid em Populus /em trees

Author(s): Grant KR; Kembel SW; Naik S; Dayanandan S;

Endophytes asymptomatically infect virtually all plant species, yet little is known about endophyte community assembly and diversity within the woody tissues of forest trees. We utilised phylogenetic null models of alpha (ses.MNTDab and ses.MPDab) and beta diversity (ses.ßMNTDab and ses.ßMPDab) to infer the role of deterministic and stochastic ecological ...

Pseudocapacitive MXene@Fe-TA ternary mediator enhances denitrification via optimized electron transfer and microbial regulation in wastewater treatment

Author(s): Pan S; Wang X; Guo T; An H; Guo Y; Chen Z; Lian J; Guo J;

Inefficient electron transfer is one of the main challenges in practical denitrification applications. To address this issue, a novel ternary mediator functional material (Mxene@Fe-TA) was successfully synthesized, which exhibited pseudocapacitive properties to facilitate electron mediation and distribution. Batch experiments revealed that 50 mg/L MXene@F ...

Association between aggression and ADHD polygenic scores and school-age aggression: the mediating role of preschool externalizing behaviors and adverse experiences

Author(s): Bouliane M; Boivin M; Kretschmer T; Lafreniere B; Paquin S; Tremblay R; Côté S; Gouin JP; Andlauer TFM; Petitclerc A; Ouellet-Morin I;

Individual differences in physical aggression (PA) are largely heritable. However, it remains unclear how genetic propensity for aggression manifests early in life and relates to school-age PA. Preschool externalizing behavior problems (EXT) and adverse experiences are known predictors of school- ...

Local residents' attitudes toward and contact with international students: a perspective from Montreal, Quebec

Author(s): Tekin O; Trofimovich P;

As migrants holding temporary, foreign-resident status in their host communities, international students often experience prejudice and have little meaningful contact with locals. To date, a comprehensive account of international students' experience is lacking, and existing conceptualizations exclude linguistic threat as a potential source of increas ...
