Soil viruses are highly abundant and have important roles in the regulation of host dynamics
and soil ecology. Climate change is resulting in unprecedented changes to soil ecosystems …

The Arctic cryosphere is collapsing, posing overlapping environmental risks. In particular,
thawing permafrost threatens to release biological, chemical and radioactive materials that …

The discovery of giant viruses, with capsids as large as some bacteria, megabase-range
genomes and a variety of traits typically found only in cellular organisms, was one of the …

Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. Despite their dependence on host cells, viruses
are evolutionarily autonomous, with their own genomes and evolutionary trajectories locked …

Water usage increased alongside its competitiveness due to its finite amount. Yet, many
industries still rely on this finite resource thus recalling the need to recirculate their water for …

The opportunistic protist Acanthamoeba, which interacts with other microbes such as
bacteria, fungi, and viruses, shows significant similarity in cellular and functional aspects to …

Here we report the discovery of two Tupanvirus strains, the longest tailed Mimiviridae
members isolated in amoebae. Their genomes are 1.44–1.51 Mb linear double-strand DNA …

Large DNA viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota have recently emerged as important
members of ecosystems around the globe that challenge traditional views of viral …

This paper explores how climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy pose
new systemic financial risks (so-called Green Swans), and the role of central banks in …

Viruses and mobile genetic elements are molecular parasites or symbionts that coevolve
with nearly all forms of cellular life. The route of virus replication and protein expression is …
