Species richness is more important for ecosystem functioning than species turnover along an elevational gradient

The authors measure numerous ecosystem functions across an elevational gradient on Mt Kilimanjaro and find that species richness impacts function more than species turnover across sites. They also show that variation in species richness impacts ecosystem functioning more strongly at the landscape scale than at the local scale.

Entropic repulsion of cholesterol-containing layers counteracts bioadhesion

Entropic repulsion caused by interfacial orientational fluctuations of cholesterol layers restricts protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion, providing a conceptually new physicochemical perspective on biointerfaces that may guide future material design in regulation of adhesion.

Recognition of microbial viability via TLR8 drives T_FH cell differentiation and vaccine responses

Sander and colleagues show that antigen-presenting cells detect bacterial RNA from live bacteria via TLR8 and promote T_FH cell differentiation and vaccine responses through the induction of a specific cytokine profile.

Tunable nano-replication to explore the omniphobic characteristics of springtail skin

Springtails, wingless arthropods, are adapted to cutaneous respiration in temporarily rain-flooded habitats by a hierarchically structured skin surface. A tunable polymer replication process was applied to dissect the contributions of different structural elements and surface chemistry to the omniphobic performance of the skin.

Climate–land-use interactions shape tropical mountain biodiversity and ecosystem functions

Elevational trends in biodiversity and ecosystem functions across natural and anthropogenic habitats on Mount Kilimanjaro show that the effects of land use are strongly mediated by climate.
