Article Abstract
Although considerable research progress on the effects of anthropogenic disturbance in the deep sea has been made in recent years, our understanding of these impacts at community level remains limited. Here, we studied deep-sea assemblages of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea) subject to different intensities of benthic trawling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding and taxonomic identification of meiofauna communities. Firstly, eDNA metabarcoding data did not detect trawling impacts using alpha diversity whereas meiofauna data detected a significant effect of trawling. Secondly, both eDNA and meiofauna data detected significantly different communities across distinct levels of trawling intensity when we examined beta diversity. Taxonomic assignment of the eDNA data revealed that Bryozoa was present only at untrawled sites, highlighting their vulnerability to trawling. Our results provide evidence for community-wide impacts of trawling, with different trawling intensities leading to distinct deep-sea communities. Finally, we highlight the need for further studies to unravel understudied deep-sea biodiversity.

Background And Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if community-wide activities in the Pomona Youth and Family Master Plan (PYFMP) might have influenced youth ATOD use changes in Pomona and in comparison to the US national jurisdiction.
Methods: An integrated framework encompassing social cognitive theory and the risk and protective factors approach guided the study using a pre-post quasi-experimental design and z-test analysis. Same-group and independent group comparisons within and across school grades, intervention years, and jurisdictions were conducted in a quasi-experimental design.
The anthelmintic praziquantel (PZQ) has been used for decades as the clinical therapy for schistosomiasis, and remains the only available drug. As a cheap and effective drug therapy for all human disease-causing species, usage of PZQ underpins mass drug administration strategies aimed at eliminating schistosomiasis as a public health problem by 2030. Concern over the potential emergence of resistance to PZQ is therefore warranted, as it would constitute a major threat to this approach.

The All Under One Roof (AUOR) partnership in Missoula, MT is based on an innovative approach to community collaboration, collective impact, and intergenerational networks. Five mission-aligned organizations share one site, including a public library, non-profit family services, a local media outlet, and program-based university partners that excel in the areas of STEM education. Together, the partners maximize resources, produce collaborative programming, and create a learning environment that is both building- and community-wide.

Current theoretical advances integrating eco-metabolomics into ecological research provide a novel perspective for predicting interactions between plants and their environment. Yet, whether the plant metabolome varies predictably and consistently with functional traits along environmental clines remains largely unknown. We explored shifts in community-level responses reflected in community-weighted means, Rao's quadratic entropy and β-diversity for functional traits (specific leaf area, leaf area, leaf dry matter content and height) and chemical properties (features, classes and structural/compositional diversity) in eight plant communities distributed along a sub-Saharan aridity gradient.

Alternative and rapid microbiological methods (ARMM) used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing have potential advantages over current compendial methods in that they can enable faster product release and improved process monitoring and quality assurance. There is value in community-wide discussion on ARMMs to help understand the challenges of ARMM adoption in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL) attempted to understand the successes and challenges around ARMM adoption through surveys, interviews, and a facilitated Active Listening Meeting between industry and FDA representatives.
