Summary: Lagoons are natural bodies of water isolated from the sea by sand bars or spits, with distinct ecological characteristics and serving as habitats for migratory birds. Different from estuaries, lagoons are actively studied for their unique biodiversity. The discovery of 11 previously unrecorded diatom species in Korean lagoons highlights the importance of continued research and conservation efforts for these ecosystems.

Summary: The study used tandem mass tag analysis to investigate global proteomic changes in host cells and T. gondii during intracellular infection. It revealed that T. gondii invasion relies on the secretion of numerous secretory proteins, while in infected host cells, many known secretory proteins were significantly downregulated.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the relationship between the oral microbiome and other microbial habitats. The analysis of different samples showed that the oral microbiome is closely associated with bacteremia and inflammatory mediators in the systemic circulation. Furthermore, disease-related changes in the salivary microbiome may be reflected in blood specimens through the oral-blood axis.

Summary: Understanding the importance of epiphytic vegetation and microhabitats created by lianas is crucial for understanding forest communities. This study examined the factors influencing the occurrence of the vertical form of common ivy in highland forests in Central Europe. The presence of ivy was influenced by tree species richness, the presence of alder, and the diversity of trees and shrubs. The research also found that ivy requires diverse forests with a mix of trees, particularly veteran trees.

Summary: Climate change has significant impacts on marine fish and fisheries in the Yellow Sea. This study predicts the temperature and distribution of nine representative fish species using dynamic bioclimate envelop models. The results show that different types of fish have different migration patterns and relative abundance under climate change.

Summary: Refugee camps are temporary settlements that accommodate individuals displaced due to conflict or persecution. The design of refugee camps has a significant impact on the well-being of residents and their access to education and job opportunities. This study examines the design characteristics of refugee camps based on UNHCR standards and highlights the discrepancies between guidelines and actual cases, suggesting the need for improved design standards in the future.

Summary: Efforts have been made to investigate the effects of urban form on natural and social patterns, with a focus on urban and regional scales. However, recent studies at a local scale often overlook the diversification of economies and activities in cities. This research examines the relationships between multidimensional urban form and urban vitality at the street block level in fifteen megacities in China.

Summary: This paper presents a methodological framework for determining pulse flow based on fish spawning behavior and applies it to the second Songhua River in northeastern China. Peak flow, flow duration, occurrence time, and frequency were determined based on hydrographic-habitat relationship and suitable temperature for fish spawning. The framework combines pulse flow with habitat simulation to develop environmental flows for rivers with various fish species.

Summary: This review critically analyzes the solution and solvation enthalpies of nonelectrolytes in ionic liquids, focusing on the relationship between the structure of solute molecules and intermolecular solute-solvent interactions. The analysis shows that the solvophobic effect and polar solute-solvent interactions have negligible contributions to the solvation enthalpy in ionic liquids. An additive scheme for calculating solvation enthalpies is proposed based on data from aromatic and heteroaromatic derivatives. The study also compares the structure effects of nonelectrolyte molecules in ionic liquids and ordinary solvents.

Summary: This study investigates the transcriptomic responses of the diatom Skeletonema marinoi to low salinity environments. The results reveal that low salinities induce changes in cellular metabolism and different strains of the diatom exhibit varying responses to low salinity. This study highlights the importance of intraspecific variation in gene expression in diatom responses to environmental change.
