Study by our PhD student, Thinles Chondol, explores how high Himalayan plants (4200–5300 m) sustain photochemical performance across the cold-arid Ladakh Range. Are they stressed or functionally adapted to extreme conditions and seasonal changes?

Salicylic acid plays a key role in plant immunity. Researchers from FSc USB and IEB CAS revealed that its high concentration suppresses the production of anthocyanins – important secondary metabolites. They uncovered a previously unknown mechanism in plant defense strategies.

Parasites are expected to speciate by adapting to specific hosts, but examples of it are rare. New research reveals that it is happening in sympatry, when strong Darwinian selection overpowers gene exchange between populations of a fish parasite.

Researching amber revealed two of the oldest undescribed species of fossil animal-pathogenic fungi. This study found that Ophiocordyceps fungi originated around 100-140 million years ago and offers a glimpse into early insect-fungal interactions! New paper:

Immune cells don’t just fight infection—they manage the body’s energy too. A Trends in Biochemical Sciences spotlight on Nedbalova et al. shows they release adenosine, signaling other tissues to dial down energy use.

New coasts emerging from the retreat of Northern Hemisphere marine-terminating glaciers in the twenty-first century - Nature Climate Change
As marine-terminating glaciers retreat, they reveal new coastlines in many regions. Here the authors use satellite data to quantify these changes for the Northern Hemisphere, finding that between 2000...

Traditional grasslands face biodiversity loss from mismanagement. A 30-year experiment showed that fertilization had stronger negative effects than mowing abandonment, with slower community recovery post-fertilization suggesting that resilience depends on past land use.
