This review integrates findings from 118 studies to identify the psychological mechanisms underlying political activism. Results show that activist engagement arises from a combination of compassion-oriented traits, moralised identity, intuitive and identity-protective cognition, heightened emotional reactivity, and strong group reinforcement. The paper presents a unified model explaining why activist beliefs persist, how they form, and the psychological benefits and costs associated with sustained moralised political action.
This article explores the ecological significance of mycorrhizal networks through five compelling case studies. From nutrient sharing in temperate forests to enhancing productivity in grasslands, these networks play a crucial role in fostering plant communication, resource redistribution, and ecosystem resilience. Discover how mycorrhizal fungi mediate drought resilience in arid ecosystems, facilitate defence signalling in agricultural systems, and enable dynamic carbon exchange in boreal forests.
A recent study published in BMC Neurology examined the relationship between resting heart rate and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) following an ischemic stroke. The research analyzed data from 21,655 patients and found that higher initial in-hospital heart rates were associated with an increased risk of MACE, including recurrent strokes, myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality.
