Two recent papers implicate both light and noise #pollution as a form of 'anthropogenic double jeopardy' for wildlife: (1) Mathiaparanam, Mulder and Hale (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2024.125078) and (2) Grunst et al (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.176552).

Anthropogenic double jeopardy: urban noise and artificial light at night interact synergistically to influence abundance
Artificial light at night (ALAN) and urban noise are increasing globally and can have a range of impacts on wildlife. While ALAN and noise often co-oc…

Transphobia hurts trans women's health, new HIV research finds - LGBTQ Nation
Job discrimination and structural stressors were correlated with higher risk behavior when it came to HIV.
For beginning nontraditional farmers, stress is a constant
Women, LGBTQ, and minority farmers in Ohio face compounding stressors, according to a study from Ohio State University. Researchers surveyed and interviewed a group of nontraditional, mostly first-generation organic farmers. Results showed 58% of survey respondents reported mild to severe symptoms of anxiety or depression. ...
Polyploidy used to be abnormal. Something alarming that showed up in tumors. But somehow also natural (think livers) and widespread in the natural world (think plants and speciation). NOW we find it has a natural function in wound-healing. Cool. #science #complex #polyploidy #stressors

Unveiling the Intricacies of Polyploid Cells: A Key to Stress Response and Evolutionary Survival - PRAI NEWS
Diving into the intricacies of cellular biology often uncovers unexpected phenomena that reshape our understanding of life itself. One such revelation is the

Widespread retreat of coastal habitat is likely at warming levels above 1.5 °C - Nature
Without mitigation, relative sea-level rises under current climate change projections will exceed the capacity of coastal habitats such as mangroves and tidal marshes to adjust, leading to instability and profound changes to coastal ecosystems.

Does the Glucocorticoid Stress Response Make Toads More Toxic? An Experimental Study on the Regulation of Bufadienolide Toxin Synthesis
Synopsis. Chemical defense is a crucial component of fitness in many organisms, yet the physiological regulation of defensive toxin synthesis is poorly understo
