Total daily energy expenditure has declined over the past three decades due to declining basal expenditure, not reduced activity expenditure

Using a database of doubly labelled water energy expenditure measurements spanning more than 30 years, Speakman and colleagues show that total energy expenditure in humans has declined over time, while adjusted physical activity energy expenditure has increased over time.

Predictive equation derived from 6,497 doubly labelled water measurements enables the detection of erroneous self-reported energy intake

This study presents a predictive equation for total energy expenditure derived from doubly labelled water measurements. Applying this equation to two large datasets (the National Diet and Nutrition Survey and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) shows that the misreporting of total energy intake is greater than 50%, with important implications for macronutrient availability.

Selective binding of a toxin and phosphatidylinositides to a mammalian potassium channel

G-protein-gated inward rectifying potassium channels (GIRKs) require G_βγ subunits and phosphorylated phosphatidylinositides (PIPs) for gating. Here authors use native ion mobility mass spectrometry to monitor small molecule binding events to GIRK2 and shed light on the selectivity of GIRK2 towards PIPs.

Mangrove biodiversity and ecosystem services

Mangroves are valued for their diverse range of ecosystem services, but the role of biodiversity in supporting these services is not thoroughly understood. This Review examines the relationships between biodiversity, ecosystem processes and ecosystems services, and examines how future research could address knowledge gaps to guide effective, equitable mangrove conservation.

Neighbourhood diversity increases tree growth in experimental forests more in wetter climates but not in wetter years

How tree diversity effects on ecosystem functioning vary along climatic gradients is unclear. Here, analysing data from 15 experimental forest sites, the authors show that tree growth responses to neighbourhood species diversity are stronger in wetter climates but are unaffected by interannual climatic variation within sites.

Dose escalation in antigen-specific therapies is recognized as safe and effective, but the underlying effects of dosing variables on the immune system are not understood. Here, the authors demonstrate that dose escalation causes sequential modulation of gene expression among antigen-specific lymphocytes.

Recent estimates of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) intake are generally unavailable. Here the authors show a global SSBs intake of 2.7 servings/week in 2018 in adults (range: 0.7 South Asia, 7.8 Latin America/Caribbean); intakes were higher among males, younger, more educated, and urban adults.
