    World's largest freshwater lake is recovering after decades of decline

    Lake Baikal in Siberia holds around 20% of the world's surface freshwater, making it the most voluminous freshwater lake (Lake Superior on the United States–Canada border is the largest by surface area). This makes the lake one of the most important environments for biodiversity—in fact, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996 because of this. Yet it has shown considerable decline over the last century, with aridification spreading across East Asia.

    Entangled stoichiometric objectives shape microbial catabolism

    Entangled stoichiometric objectives shape microbial catabolism

    Author summary Microorganisms need two things to grow: energy and carbon. Catabolism supplies energy (e.g., ATP and NAD(P)H) and carbon (a set of precursor molecules) to anabolism. In microbiology, finding out how much ATP and how many (and which) precursors are required per unit biomass has been a central challenge for decades. We developed a method to decompose a metabolic network (e.g., a genome-scale stoichiometric model) into energy catabolism, precursor catabolism and anabolism. We aimed to make microbial biodiversity intelligible by comparing the bioenergetic and anabolic parameters across conditions and species. We found that the diversity is not reduced by disentangling metabolism into (energy and precursor) catabolism and anabolism. Rather, we found cases where almost all ATP was made in precursor synthesis and none in energy catabolism. Also, the precursor sets varied greatly in size and only a single precursor molecule was common across all studied cases. All of this is explained by the underlying biochemical details, which is the diversity we started with. Thus, our current concepts of catabolism and anabolism, and associated quantitative frameworks, do not reduce the complexity of microbial biodiversity and do not make it more intelligible in simple coarse-grained metabolic terms. The answers are in the biochemistry.

    Genetic data reveal hidden extinction risks in the deep sea

    A biodiversity crisis is unfolding across the planet, but the deep sea was thought immune and even a refuge for marine life. New research led by Florida International University scientists and published in Nature Communications suggests that assumption may be alarmingly wrong.

    Connecticut restored 34 acres of damaged salt marsh in 2022; two years later, native grasses were thriving, and shorebirds were nesting on newly built mounds

    A major salt marsh restoration project at Great Meadows Marsh in Connecticut is showing promising results for coastal wildlife and biodiversity. After a $4.65 million rehabilitation effort, the 34-acre wetland has seen the return of endangered saltmarsh sparrows and the growth of native marsh plants. The project highlights how wetland restoration, coastal conservation and habitat recovery can protect biodiversity, reduce flood risks and create healthier ecosystems amid rising sea levels.

    Re-examining the City Through Biodiversity: Ecological Lessons for Global Megacities from a Shanghai Documentary

    SHANGHAI, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At the recently concluded 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, a special screening event-jointly presented by the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment and Shanghai Media Group-focused on urban ecological governance and prompted deep reflection among the international delegates in attendance. The nature and human-interest documentary My City Neighbours transcends national borders, presenting the world with a 'Shanghai solution'-a model for how a megacity can coexist in harmony with nature. Although the event has concluded, the ripples it stirred on the international stage-centered on the theme of 'cross-disciplinary symbiosis'-continue to spread and evolve.
