Leopard Cat
The Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) stands as a small wild felid distributed across diverse habitats in Asia, from the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and parts of China. Recognized for its striking resemblance to the larger leopard, this species exhibits a distinctive coat pattern featuring spots and rosettes. As a foundational concept in zoology, exploring the Leopard Cat's behavior, ecological role, and adaptation to various environments contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the felid family and its significance within Asian ecosystems.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae Nutrients Digestibility and Bioavailability
The black soldier fly (BSF) is a distinct member of the Stratiomyidae family within the Diptera order. BSF, primarily thriving in South America, has adapted to a wide range of climates including temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions, with its ideal living conditions being temperatures between 25 °C and 30 °C. Outside of industrial production, they cannot live in northwestern Europe and locations with temperatures below 5 °C due to their inability to withstand the cold. Today, the BSF is estimated to inhabit over 80% of the world, particularly between latitudes 46 N and 42 S. Incredibly prolific in humid tropical areas, the BSF is drawn to regions abundant in decomposing organic materials.

Influencing Factors on Root Exudate-Rhizobacteria Interactions
The rhizosphere, the narrow zone of soil influenced by the plant root system, is a dynamic environment where complex interplay between plants and soil microbes occurs, and it may contain up to 1011 cells/g of root, with more than 30,000 bacterial species. There are various signals in the rhizosphere, including QS signals among microorganisms and root exudate signals from plants to microorganisms.

Circadian Rhythms and Sleep, Metabolic and Cardiovascular Disorders
Circadian rhythms are generated by the circadian clock, a self-sustained internal timing system that exhibits 24-h rhythms in the body. Many metabolic, cellular, behavioral and physiological processes are regulated by the circadian clock in coordination with environmental cues.

NPF and NRT2 Potentially Involved in Nodule Functioning
Legumes are commonly used in sustainable agroecosystems because of their ability to tolerate low N fertilizer input due to their capacity to use atmospheric N2 through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). The advantage of using legumes in agroecosystems is not limited to protecting soils from pollution caused by chemical fertilizers because once well-established legumes progressively fertilize the soil. Legumes, such as Pea (Pisum sativum), are nowadays introduced in cropping systems to provide ecological services i.e., limiting the usage of N fertilizer and decreasing herbicide input by competing with weeds for soil water, mineral nutrients and light, thus limiting their development. Competitive genotypes to fulfil this role should be selected on the basis of their ability to efficiently colonize the soil with deep-foraging, fast-growing and highly branched root systems. These traits are known to be under the control of rhizosphere factors, among which nitrate as a signal molecule, sensed by various nitrate transporters such as NPF (Nitrate Transporter1/Peptide transporter Family) and NRT2 (Nitrate Transporter 2), plays a major role. Paradoxically, if nitrate is necessary to ensure legumes’ seedling establishment before BNF starts, it is also a negative regulator of nodulation and BNF if it is provided at high concentrations.

Geranium sanguineum L.
Bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum L.) is a flowering perennial herb with a natural range extending over Europe. The herb is used in the ethnopharmacological practice in Bulgaria. Infusions and decoctions from the roots and aerial parts can be used as a rinse for inflamed mucous membranes of the mouth and respiratory tract, a wash for wounds or skin eruptions, for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, hypotensive, and immunostimulant activity, as well as for supportive treatment of diarrhea, dysentery, and enterocolitis.
