DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2671
Abstract: Mass mortality events in wildlife are a growing concern. Under conditions of rapid global change, opportunistic responses in bacterial commensals, triggered by environmental stressors, may be increasingly implicated in die‐offs. In 2015, over 200,000 saiga… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2021.737376
Abstract: Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae is a critical-priority human pathogen, considered a key trafficker of drug resistance genes from environmental to clinically important bacteria. Although current evidence suggests its potential role as aquatic pathogen, there are few… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117468
Abstract: Abstract Insect and pathogen disturbances can result in a decline in the abundance of host tree species, leading to changes in tree species composition at a regional scale. Quercus crispula and Q. serrata are dominant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-53580-w
Abstract: Extreme events such as heat waves have increased in frequency and duration over the last decades. Under future climate scenarios, these discrete climatic events are expected to become even more recurrent and severe. Heat waves… read more here.
