Temperature inhomogeneities cause the abundance discrepancy in H II regions

URL https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.11578.pdf Stage Model Revolution Paradigm framing The established paradigm in astrophysics for determining the chemical composition of ionized nebulae (H II regions) has long relied on spectral line analysis. However, this paradigm has been in a state of crisis for over 80 years due to the "abundance discrepancy": a persistent, systematic difference between abundances […]

What makes a mycoparasite? Similarities between fungi that attack other fungi and fungal and oomycete plant pathogens based on structural homology of their candidate effectors

URL https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7759314/v1.pdf Stage Model Revolution Paradigm framing The paper is situated within mycology and microbial ecology. The prevailing paradigm for understanding mycoparasitism (fungi parasitizing other fungi) has been largely descriptive, relying on empirical observation and ecological classification. This research introduces a new conceptual model by framing mycoparasitism within the well-established molecular paradigm of plant-pathogen interactions.
