Punjab’s Wetlands as Inland Analogues of Marine Ecosystems: Status, Stressors and CommunityLed Conservation.
Abstract: Aquatic and wetland ecosystems in Punjab, India, represent ecologically significant yet increasingly degraded socioecological systems embedded within an intensively managed agrarian landscape. Despite their recognised importance, existing studies largely treat these systems using conventional freshwater ecological frameworks, with limited integration of microbiologically mediated processes and broader ecosystem theories. A key research gap, therefore, lies in the lack of interdisciplinary approaches that can holistically interpret wetland structure, function, and governance across …

Host-Microbiota Crosstalk in the Rumen: Signaling Pathways for Nutrient Metabolism and Disease Resilience in Dairy Cows
Abstract: The rumen serves as a highly intricate microbial ecosystem, fundamentally responsible for the degradation of fibrous plant materials in ruminant. The intricate host-microbiota crosstalk within the rumen significantly influences nutrient metabolism, growth, and health outcomes in livestock. The interaction between the host and its microbial community, mediated through signaling pathways including the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids, and various metabolites, is crucial for enhancing nutrient absorption, fermentation …
