Article Abstract
Ecol. Lett. 22, 2019, 1483 demonstrated, for the first time, a rapid response of a plant to the airborne sounds of pollinators. Pyke et al. argue that this response is unlikely to be adaptive. Here we clarify some misunderstandings, and demonstrate the potential adaptive value using theoretical modelling and field observations.

Decentralized wastewater management using treatment wetlands: Effective removal of antibiotics, resistance genes and organic micropollutants.
Sci Total Environ
September 2025

Treatment wetlands (TW) are a popular choice for decentralized wastewater treatment, with substantial documentation on their capacity to manage conventionally monitored pollutants. However, most insights into their effectiveness against emerging contaminants come from lab and mesocosm studies with a limited number of compounds, highlighting knowledge gaps in their performance at full scale. This study provides a first long-term, full-scale assessment of TW ability to remove a large number of organic micropollutants (OMPs) and manage antibiotic resistance under real-world conditions.

The ability of parasitoid wasps to precisely locate hosts in complex environments is a key factor in suppressing pest populations. Chemical communication plays an essential role in mediating insect behaviors such as locating food sources, hosts, and mates. Odorant receptors (ORs) are the key connection between external odors and olfactory nerves.

Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among women worldwide, necessitating the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Phytoconstituents, naturally plant-derived bioactive compounds, have emerged as promising agents for breast cancer therapy due to their multifaceted mechanisms of action. This review examines the role of phytoconstituents in inducing apoptosis, inhibiting breast cancer cell proliferation, and suppressing metastasis.

Cesium ions (Cs) are notable radioactive contaminants hazardous to humans and the environment. Among various remediation methods, adsorption is a practical way to remove Cs from water, and Prussian blue (PB) is well-known as an efficient Cs adsorbent. Although various PB derivatives have been proposed to treat Cs-contaminated water, soil remediation is still challenging due to the limited mobility of pollutants in soil.
