This paper traces the existence of an energy transmission channel of temperature anomalies to Euro-Area inflation. We show that, on average, warmer temperature shocks elicit a negative energy demand shift, exerting moderate deflationary pressure. By looking into several asymmetries and macroeconomic indicators, we rationalize that evidence as signa...
It is not only the states of the European Union (EU) that are heterogeneous in many respects, but also the regions existing within them. In this paper, we make use of a conjoint experiment on a particular type of technocratic solidarity - joint procurement of medical countermeasures (JPMC) - to explore how old and new regional-level heterogeneities...
Aim The microclimate and light conditions on the forest floor are strongly modified by tree canopies. Therefore, we need to better consider the micro-environment when quantifying trait-environment relationships for forest understorey plants. Here, we quantify relationships between micro-environmental conditions and plant functional traits at the co...
Colonies of ground-nesting species often have heterogeneous nest densities and their offspring experience different social conditions depending on the size and location of the breeding territory. For example, unintentional territory crossing by mobile chicks can trigger strong aggression from neighbouring adults, as observed in semi-precocial gulls...
QuestionsIncreased soil phosphorus (P) availability in fertilized grasslands can drive both community degradation and delayed community recovery upon agricultural abandonment. Beyond describing grassland community patterns along gradients in P availability, it remains unclear how individual species with different strategies respond to increasing ph...
Identifying interspecies interactions in mixed-species biofilms is a key challenge in microbial ecology and is of paramount importance given that interactions govern community functionality and stability. We previously reported a bacterial four-species biofilm model comprising Stenotrophomonas rhizophila, Bacillus licheniformis, Microbacterium lact...

The human gastrointestinal tract employs an assortment of chemical, enzymatic and immune barriers to impede pathogen colonization. An essential component of these barriers is the gut microbiota, which infers protection against ingested pathogens through its colonization resistance mechanisms. Specifically, the gut microbiota of the distal small int...
