Emerging pollutants (EPs), such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (particularly antibiotics) and microplastics, pose significant threats to global water quality and human health, leading to increased interest in the use of constructed wetlands (CWs) for their purification. This paper reviews the literature from 2014 to 2024 on CWs' effectiveness in removing various EPs.

The conflict in Sudan since April 2023 has displaced many academics and students, disrupting education and causing financial hardship. The study highlights how war-related inflation and destruction have worsened food insecurity and healthcare destruction, emphasising the urgent need for international aid to support recovery and rebuild the academic sector.

This study sequenced genomes from major Morchellaceae clades to clarify their ecological lifestyles, finding that true morels are primarily saprotrophic while some related truffles exhibit ectomycorrhizal traits. The research also reveals diversity in mating systems and provides new insights into the evolutionary nutrition strategies of these fungi.
