Gut microbiota modulates depressive-like behaviors induced by chronic ethanol exposure through short-chain fatty acids by Hui Shen, Chaoxu Zhang, Qian Zhang, Qing Lv, Hao Liu, Huiya Yuan, Changliang Wang, Fanyue Meng, Yufu Guo, Jiaxin Pei, Chenyang Yu, Jinming Tie, Xiaohuan Chen, Hao Yu, Guohua Zhang, Xiaolong Wang

“…Conclusion SCFAs not only mitigate damage to intestinal structure and function but also alleviate various lesions in the central nervous system, such as neuroinflammation, and reduce anxiety and depression-like behaviors, which were triggered by transplantation with fecal microbiota that had been affected by chronic ethanol exposure, adding more support that SCFAs serve as a bridge between the gut and the brain.…”

DNA metabarcoding reveals distinct trophic niches among sympatric aerial insectivores (Family: Apodidae and Hirundinidae) in central Peninsular Malaysia by Fatihah Najihah Arazmi, Nor Adibah Ismail, Ummi Nur Syafiqah Daud, Mohammad Saiful Mansor

“…Dietary diversity was highest in H. rustica indicating a generalist foraging strategy, while A. nipalensis showed the lowest prey richness and a more specialised diet. The varied dietary patterns among sympatric species and the dietary diversity reflect trophic niche partitioning and highlight the functional role of aerial insectivores in natural pest regulation. …”

Developing an ISO11783-compliant prescription map for variable rate spraying in vineyards based on 3D canopy reconstruction by Björn Poss, Nikos Tsoulias, Galibjon M. Sharipov, Andreas Heiß, Dimitrios S. Paraforos

“…A strong correlation (R² = 0.92) between the manually measured leaf areas and the number of points in the generated LiDAR 3D point cloud was determined. This correlation's linear regression was used to calculate dose rates, leading to the successful development of a grid-based prescription map in ISO-XML format, compatible with ISOBUS Task Controller functionality. …”
