7 pages. -- Figure S1. a) X-ray diffraction around STO(001). Finite size fringes indicate high-crystalline quality for all the LNMO films. Data for different films is shifted for increased visibility. b) Topography of a 5-uc-thick LNMO film. Step-and-terrace morphology is inherited by the TiO2-terminated STO substrate. c) Reciprocal space map around STO(103) indicates that a 90 uc (~ 35 nm) LNMO film is epitaxially strained to the substrate. -- Figure S2. a) Mn L3,2-edges XMCD spectra. b) Ni L3,2-edges XMCD spectra. -- Figure S3. a) XAS of Mn L3,2-edges for 5-uc-thick LNMO films subjected to different epitaxial strain conditions. The six different perovskite oxide substrates: LaAlO3 (LAO), NdGaO3 (NGO), LSAT, LaGaO3 (LGO), STO, and DyScO3 (DSO), exert a nominal strain of -2.1%, -0.5%, -0.2%, +0.4%, +0.7%, and +1.8% respectively. The LNMO heterostructure with the highest Mn3+ content is the one grown on STO, followed by the one on LSAT. Overall, the other heterostructures have similar spectra despite the very different strain conditions ranging from highly compressive to highly tensile. Still, signatures of Mn3+ can be observed in tensile-strained LNMO films grown on LGO and DSO. Data is collected at 300 K. b) Same data as in a) but spectra are vertically shifted for increased visibility. Reference lines for L3,2-edges maxima are also shown. c) Sketch of interfacial stacking sequence of LNMO//LSAT. The nominal ionic charge of each layer is indicated on the left. A polar discontinuity at the interface between film and substrate is present, albeit weaker when compared to LNMO//STO (Figure 2c). d) Sketch of interfacial stacking sequence of LNMO//LGO. -- Figure S4. Projected DOS for the Ni0.5Mn0.5O2 layer adjacent to the LNMO//STO (top) and LNMO//LGO (bottom) interface. -- Figure S5. Projected layer-resolved DOS for VO placed in the a) first, b) eleventh, c) twelfth and d) thirteenth layer from the surface of the LNMO//STO heterostructure. -- Figure S6. a) HAADF-STEM survey image of a 13 uc LNMO//STO film and corresponding atomic-resolution EDX elemental maps calculated from the EDX spectrum image using the Sr Kα, Ti Kα, La Lα, Mn Kα and Ni Kα lines. -- Figure S7. At neutral charge the rock-salt configuration (a) is the most stable while the row configuration (c) is the least stable. On the other hand, after adding an extra electron to the system, the column configuration (b) is the most stable. -- Figure S8. The DOS are shifted by the vacuum level determined from (001)pc surface calculations (the work functions for LNMO, LNO and LAO are 4.26, 4.71 and 5.49 eV respectively). -- Figure S9. a) XAS of Mn L3,2-edges for 5- and 10-uc-thick LNMO//STO shows different Mn3+ content as already evidenced in Figure 2a. LNO capping results in a Mn4+-like spectra while the LAO capping is characterized by the persistent presence of Mn3+. Data collected at 20 K. b) XAS of Mn L3,2-edges for 5- and 9-uc-thck LNMO//LSAT shows a larger Mn3+ content for reduced LNMO thickness, similar to what already observed at the LNMO//STO heterostructure. -- Figure S10. Normalized SQUID magnetization vs temperature of a LNO/LNMO(2uc)//STO heterostructure measured in a magnetic field of 0.5 T (gray line)., Peer reviewed

We evaluated the association between intake of total polyphenols, polyphenol classes and the 10 most consumed individual polyphenols with serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in 749 European adolescents (53% girls; 15% overweight; 12.5–17.5 years-old) from the cross-sectional HELENA study of 2006–2007. Dietary polyphenol intake was calculated from two non-consecutive 24-h recalls matched with the Phenol-Explorer database. Multilevel linear models examined the associations between dietary polyphenols and TAC. Polyphenol intake was rather low (median = 321mg/day; p25 = 158; p75 = 536) and TAC was comparable to other literature findings (median = 1.57 mmol/L; p25 = 1.45; p75 = 1.74). Total polyphenol intake, polyphenol classes and the top 10 compounds were not associated with TAC in a linear, quadratic or cubic way in partially or fully confounder-adjusted models. A direct anti-oxidative effect of dietary polyphenol intake was not observed in European adolescents. Polyphenol biomarkers and additional antioxidant measures are needed in future prospective studies to confirm these results., The HELENA Study was carried out with the financial support of the European Community Sixth RTD Framework Programme (Contract FOODCT-2005-007034).

13 pages. -- Appendix 1. Questionnaire example used in the main article., Recurrent jellyfish blooms in tourist areas have negative effects on coastal and national economies. We investigate how jellyfish presence affects holiday destination choice and how the adoption of mitigation measures can reduce impacts through analyzing tourists’ preferences. A Discrete Choice Experiment approach was adopted to assess tourists’ willingness to pay for different measures. Results indicate that in scenarios of increased jellyfish numbers, 24–40% of tourists might not choose to return to a destination affected by jellyfish. Results also indicate that the adoption of measures such as jellyfish information provision, warning flags, health service presence or the deployment of jellyfish exclusion nets could reduce the proportion of non-returning tourists by 66–83%. Regarding preferences, tourists are willing to pay higher amounts for measures that provide the highest protection. We conclude that the implementation of preventive management plans should be considered by coastal administrations to promote a sense of safety among tourists and residents alike., This work was supported by a H2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Intraeuropean Action under Grant 655475, Peer reviewed

Level: Contains all the variables used in the analyses of the relationships between flower richness and landscape heterogeneity with the overall wild pollinator abundance and richness, and with the network- and group-level metrics. -- Sheet 2 - Abun & Richness by Guild: Contains all the variables used in the analyses of the relationships between flower richness and landscape heterogeneity with the wild pollinator abundance and richness by pollinator guild. -- Sheet 3 – Actively Selected Interactions: Contains all the variables used in the analyses of the relationships between flower richness and landscape heterogeneity with the proportion of actively selected interactions. -- Sheet 4 – Species level metrics: Contains all the variables used in the analyses of the relationships between flower richness and landscape heterogeneity with the species level metrics (Functional dispersion, Species degree and Species specialization). -- More information in the Readme file., Loss of habitats and native species, introduction of invasive species, and changing climate regimes lead to the homogenization of landscapes and communities, affecting the availability of habitats and resources for economically important guilds, such as pollinators. Understanding how pollinators and their interactions vary along resource diversity gradients at different scales may help to determine their adaptability to current diversity loss related to global change. We used data on 20 plant-pollinator communities along gradients of flower richness (local diversity) and landscape heterogeneity (landscape diversity) to understand how the diversity of resources at local and landscape scales affected: (1) wild pollinator abundance and richness (accounting also for honeybee abundance); (2) the structure of plant-pollinator networks; (3) the proportion of actively selected interactions (those not occurring by neutral processes) and (4) pollinator diet breadth and species’ specialization in networks. Wild pollinator abundance was higher overall in flower-rich and heterogeneous habitats, while wild pollinator richness increased with flower richness (more strongly for beetles and wild bees) and decreased with honeybee abundance. Network specialization (H2’), modularity, and functional complementarity were all positively related to floral richness and landscape heterogeneity, indicating niche segregation as the diversity of resources increases at both scales. Flower richness also increased the proportion of actively selected interactions (especially for wild bees and flies), whereas landscape heterogeneity had a weak negative effect on this variable. Overall, network-level metrics responded to larger landscape scales than pollinator-level metrics did. Higher floral richness resulted in a wider taxonomic and functional diet for all the study guilds, while functional diet increased mainly for beetles. Despite this, specialization in networks (d’) increased with flower richness for all the study guilds, because pollinator species fed on a narrower subset of plants as communities became richer in species. Our study indicates that pollinators are able to adapt their diet to resource changes at local and landscape scales. However, resource homogenization might lead to poor and generalist pollinator communities, where functionally specialized interactions are lost. This study highlights the importance of including different scales to understand the effects of global change on pollination service through changes in resource diversity., Peer reviewed

The tree Moringa oleifera (MO) is a traditional medicinal plant in tropical and subtropical areas, also consumed as food, which is currently expanding worldwide as a protein-rich leafy vegetable and for the medicinal value of its phytochemicals, in particular its glucosinolates. Specifically, MO dry leaves and leaf extracts have been shown to exert numerous in vitro activities and in vivo effects, including the hypoglycemic effect. Thus, MO could be an alternative to prevent or treat diabetes. In this sense, in vitro and preclinical experiments have shown that MO could potentially reverse some of the pathophysiological manifestation of diabetes and its comorbidities, such as hepatic fat accumulation and insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammation and peripheral hyperglycemia. Studies in humans, however, are still limited. This proposal aims to study the efficacy of Moringa oleifera to improve the control of glycaemia in subjects with prediabetes. A 3-month dietary intervention with MO dry leave capsules will be performed and compared to placebo. This will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, parallel group intervention study. Subjects will randomly consume either 6 capsules of dry MO leaves (400 mg dry leaf powder /capsule) or 6 placebo capsules per day during 3 months. The study subjects will provide samples for outcome measurements at three different time points: basal, 6 weeks and 12 weeks of supplementation. Glycaemia and plasma inflammatory and metabolic markers will be measured, as well as the gut microbiota composition., Moringa oleifera (MO) is a traditional food in tropical and subtropical areas and has attained a growing interest for its medicinal properties.
