1. Spatiotemporal dissemination of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales in municipal sewer systems: a prospective, longitudinal study in the city of Basel, Switzerland 

   Gomez-Sanz, Elena; Bagutti, Claudia; Roth, Jan A.; et al. (2023)

   FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY

   BackgroundThe contribution of community and hospital sources to the transmission of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE) remains elusive. AimTo investigate the extent of community dissemination and the contribution of hospitals to the spread of ESBL-PE by exploring their spatiotemporal distribution in municipal wastewater of the central European city of Basel. MethodsWastewater samples were collected monthly ...

2. Low-carbon diets can reduce global ecological and health costs 

   Lucas, Elysia; Guo, Miao; Guillen-Gosalbez, Gonzalo (2023)

   NATURE FOOD

   The hidden costs of current diets, or the cost saving associated with the adoption of low-carbon diets, remain unknown. This study combines life cycle assessment and monetarization factors to quantify the indirect costs of nine global dietary change strategies which progressively reduce animal-sourced foods, including consumption-linked health burden from changes in diet-related disease risk.

3. Tree-ring δ¹³C of Pinus koraiensis is a better tracer of gross primary productivity than tree-ring width index in an old-growth temperate forest 

   Diao H.; Wang A.; Gharun M.; et al. (2023)

   Ecological Indicators

   Tree-ring carbon (C) isotope composition (δ13C) varies depending on photosynthetic capacity and stomatal conductance, and it is therefore intrinsically associated with vegetation productivity. Still, very little is known about the relationship between tree-ring δ13C values and forest gross primary productivity (GPP). Here, we investigated relationships between tree-ring δ13C, tree-ring width index (RWI) and ecosystem-level GPP in a Korean ...

4. Global monitoring of soil multifunctionality in drylands using satellite imagery and field data 

   Hernandez-Clemente, R.; Hornero, A.; Gonzalez-Dugo, V.; et al. (2023)

   REMOTE SENSING IN ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION

   Models derived from satellite image data are needed to monitor the status of terrestrial ecosystems across large spatial scales. However, a remote sensing-based approach to quantify soil multifunctionality at the global scale is missing despite significant research efforts on this topic. A major constraint for doing so is the availability of suitable global-scale field data to calibrate remote sensing indicators (RSI) and, to a lesser ...

5. Physical inference of falling objects involves simulation of occluded trajectories in early visual areas 

   Zbaren, Gabrielle Aude; Meissner, Sarah Nadine; Kapur, Manu; et al. (2023)

   HUMAN BRAIN MAPPING

   Humans possess an intuitive understanding of the environment's physical properties and dynamics, which allows them to predict the outcomes of physical scenarios and successfully interact with the physical world. This predictive ability is thought to rely on mental simulations and has been shown to involve frontoparietal areas. Here, we investigate whether such mental simulations may be accompanied by visual imagery of the predicted physical ...
