Soil microbial communities largely determine the ability of soils to provide multiple functions simultaneously (i.e. soil multifunctionality; multifunctionality hereafter). However, a major research challenge is understanding how and associated resist recover from extreme climate events such as droughts, legacy past climatic conditions may constrain responses. Here, we used subjected 7 years re...

Front Cover: In articule number 2000394 by Andreas Lendlein and co-workers, a multifunctional material based on rhodium-phosphine coordination polymer network is capable of stimuli-responsive fluorescence, reshapeability, selfhealing, allows modular fabrication.

Porous robust materials are typically the primary selection of several industrial processes. Many these compounds are, however, not enough to be used as multifunctional materials. This is case Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) which rarely combine different excellent functionalities into same material. In this report we describe simple acid–base postsynthetic modification isotypical porous rare-e...

Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) support numerous ecosystem functions in livestock-grazed pastures. Exposure to veterinary anthelmintic residues in livestock dung can have lethal and sublethal effects on dung beetles, and can reduce rates of dung removal, but the immediate and longer-term consequences for other dung beetle mediated functions have rarely been studied. We investigated the...

Butyrophilins (BTNs) are a group of the moonlighting proteins, some members of which are secreted in milk. They constitute a large family of structurally similar type 1 transmembrane proteins from the immunoglobulin superfamily. Although the founding member of this family is related to lactation, participating in the secretion, formation and stabilization of milk fat globules, it may also have ...
