Automation and environmental control offer solutions to enhance animal welfare and production efficiency in regions with adverse climates. This study aimed to develop a prototype for thermal environment control in finishing swine pens located in a semi-arid region and to evaluate its performance based on microclimatic traits, physiological responses, animal performance, and thermographic aspects of both the facility and the animals. The experiment involved thirty finishing gilts (Duroc × Large White crossbreeds), grouped by age and weight into three treatments (each with 10 animals per experimental unit). The automated thermal control treatments applied were: (1) no thermal control, (2) automatic activation of a micro-sprinkling system, and (3) automatic activation of micro-sprinkling combined with ventilation. Environmental conditions in all treatments failed to reach optimal thermal comfort levels for finishing pigs, due to the semi-arid characteristics of the region. However, the thermal control treatments reduced floor temperatures by approximately 3 °C compared to the treatment without thermal control. The micro-sprinkling treatment reduced the respiratory rate by 5.32 breaths/min and promoted an average daily weight gain of 0.26 kg/day compared to the control group. Additionally, the pigs’ body temperatures were significantly lower than those in the untreated group, indicating improved animal welfare. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of automated thermal control systems as a strategy to enhance swine production in semi-arid regions.

Historical Temperature Stability and Environmental Drivers Shape Patterns of Phylogenetic Diversity in Cactaceae - Afonso Kempner; Rodrigo Castro‐Souza; Dieison André Moi; Danilo Trabuco do Amaral; Rosane Garcia Collevatti; Sidney F. Gouveia; Isabel A. S. Bonatelli; Thadeu Sobral‐Souza (Journal of Biogeography, 2026)
Aim We aim to investigate the environmental drivers shaping macroecological patterns of phylogenetic structure in plants, using the cactus family (Cactaceae) as a model group. Major Taxa and Location Cactus family (Cactaceae), comprising 1892 species, distributed across the American continent (approximately 42 million km 2 ). Methods We compiled a robust dataset of 435,694 occurrence records and estimated two complementary metrics of phylogenetic structure: the standardised effect size of mean phylogenetic distance (ses.MPD, reflecting deep/basal lineages) and mean nearest taxon distance (ses.MNTD, reflecting recent/tip lineages). We also assessed the effects of climatic, topographic, and soil‐related variables on phylogenetic structure metrics at regional and continental scale. Results Phylogenetic structure in cacti is shaped by complex spatial interactions among environmental drivers varying across scales. Northern Mesoamerica—including central and northern Mexico and the southwestern United States—showed the highest ses.MPD but some of the lowest ses.MNTD values. This indicates that these regions harbour deeply divergent lineages while local communities remain composed of closely related species. Other regions, such as high‐elevation areas in South America, also showed high ses.MPD and ses.MNTD, indicating both deep and recent phylogenetic divergence. ses.MPD and ses.MNTD responded differently to environmental gradients, indicating that basal and tip lineages are influenced by different factors. Historical temperature stability (calculated as the temperature delta between the last glacial maximum and the present) was the strongest predictor of phylogenetic structure, mainly on a regional scale. Solar radiation and elevation, at the continental scale, also contributed to these patterns, indicating that topographic complexity and climatic drives recent phylogenetic divergence. Main Conclusions Cactus phylogenetic diversity is primarily driven by historical temperature stability but results from the combined influence of multiple environmental drivers acting across scales. These scale‐dependent effects reveal that cactus communities reflect both contemporary conditions and long‐term evolutionary constraints. Given the link between PD, ecosystem functioning, and conservation value, high‐PD regions, especially those with stable climates and heterogeneous topography, should be prioritized for conservation.

A Machine Learning Approach for Improving the Accuracy of Gridded Precipitation With Uncertainty Quantification - Vinh Ngoc Tran; Manh‐Hung Le; Tam V. Nguyen; Trong Dieu Hien Le; Hung T. T. Nguyen; Hong Xuan Do; Binh Quang Nguyen; Doan Van Binh; Tu Hoang Le; Hung Thanh Pham; Hoang Tran; Thanh Duc Dang; et al. (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
The proliferation of gridded precipitation datasets produced through diverse methods has led to user confusion due to discrepancies in values for identical locations and times, underscoring the inherent uncertainty in current precipitation data. However, quantifying this uncertainty remains challenging since most datasets are deterministic and offer no easy mechanism for such quantification. This study proposes a novel machine learning (ML) approach that involves merging multiple satellite‐based gridded precipitation datasets and rain gauge observations. The ultimate goal is to create an improved high‐resolution (0.1°) daily precipitation product for Vietnam (2001–2010) that includes uncertainty quantification. By combining eXtreme gradient boosting (XGB) with quantile regression, we generate both deterministic estimates along with the associated uncertainty intervals. The resulting dataset, VNpu (Vietnam Precipitation with Uncertainty), outperforms individual input products, benchmark interpolation methods and an existing gauge‐based product (VnGP), particularly for heavy and extreme rainfall events. The VNpu provides spatiotemporally varying uncertainty ranges, with larger uncertainties in sparse gauge coverage areas. The analysis of ML interpretability reveals the complementary nature of multiple precipitation inputs (IMERG and MERRA2) and auxiliary topographic information. This study not only highlights the necessity of gridded precipitation products with uncertainty estimates but also demonstrates the value of ML approaches in developing improved precipitation products for data‐scarce regions.

Diversification of Aquaculture Production in Relation to Global Change: The Case of the Domestication of Indigenous Euryhaline Catfish Species (Siluriformes) in the Mekong River Delta, Viet Nam - Nguyen Tinh Em; Nguyen Thanh Phuong; Bui Thi Bich Hang; Duong Thuy Yen; Le Quoc Viet; Do Thi Thanh Huong; Vo Nam Son; Huynh Viet Khai; Nguyen Hong Quyet Thang; Nguyen Tan Tai; Fabrice Teletchea; Frédéric Clota; et al. (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2026)
The Mekong River Delta, the heart of Vietnam's aquaculture industry, is facing many challenges due to climate change, particularly salinity intrusion. In this context, this review aimed to assess the potential of indigenous euryhaline catfish species to diversify fish farming, strengthen food security, and build resilience in the region. Among the 1219 fish species recorded in the Lower Mekong Basin, 176 belong to the order siluriformes. Using a selection framework based on biological, ecological, market demand, and Aquaculture Readiness Levels criteria, 18 euryhaline catfish species were selected and analysed, with Pangasius krempfi , Pangasius mekongensis , Mystus gulio , and Plotosus canius emerging as the most promising candidates. These selected species are currently in the early phases of domestication and face key challenges. Of the four species, P. krempfi and P. mekongensis show high market value but are hindered by unreliable seed supply and significant knowledge gaps in breeding and other farming protocols. M. gulio appears as a promising candidate with already established reproduction techniques, though improvements in grow‐out practices are required, while P. canius requires further research on artificial breeding and feeding optimization. For future developments, it is crucial to establish standardized hatchery protocols, broodstock management, improved farming practices, and species‐specific formulated feeds. Additionally, as native species are locally consumed, implementing market‐driven strategies is essential to increase profitability and ensure long‐term sustainability.

De Novo Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Primary Metabolic Capacity of the Sponge Xestospongia sp. from Vietnam - Le Bich Hang Pham; Hai Quynh Do; Chi Mai Nguyen; Tuong Van Nguyen; Hai Ha Nguyen; Huu Hong Thu Nguyen; Khanh Linh Nguyen; Thi Hoe Pham; Quang Hung Nguyen; Quang Trung Le; My Linh Tran; Thi Thu Hien Le (Fishes, 2025)
Marine sponges possess complex metabolic systems that support their growth, physiology, and ecological interactions. However, the primary metabolic capacity of the sponge hosts remains incompletely characterized at the molecular level. In this study, we performed de novo transcriptome sequencing of a pooled sample of three individuals of Xestospongia sp. collected in Vietnam, using a high-throughput Illumina sequencing system, to characterize the host-derived metabolic pathways. A total of 43,278 unigenes were assembled, of which 69.15% were functionally annotated using multiple public databases. Functional annotation revealed a broad repertoire of genes associated with core metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate, lipid, and sterol metabolisms, as well as cofactor-related processes. Specifically, complete pathways involved in folate biosynthesis, terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q) metabolism, and steroid biosynthesis were identified, reflecting the independent metabolic framework of the sponge host. Several highly expressed genes related to these pathways, including COQ7, ERG6, NUDX1, QDPR, and PCBD, were detected, and their expression patterns were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. Furthermore, protein-based phylogenetic analyses indicated that these genes are closely related to homologous proteins from other sponge species, supporting their host origin. This study provides the first comprehensive transcriptomic resource for Xestospongia sp. from Vietnam, and offers baseline molecular insights into the primary metabolic capacity of the sponge host. These data establish a foundation for future investigations of sponge physiology and host–microbe metabolic partitioning.

Echinoderms are marine invertebrates that play important roles in structuring marine benthic ecosystems. DNA barcoding has become a valuable tool for species identification; however, reference DNA barcode libraries for echinoderms remain incomplete. This study aims to: (i) develop a COI-5′ reference dataset for echinoderms from Vietnam by integrating DNA barcodes with morphological data; (ii) evaluate species resolution and barcode gaps using multiple analytical approaches; (iii) assess the consistency of species assignments from BOLD and GenBank for echinoderms collected in Vietnam; (iv) make barcode data publicly available to support global reference database development. Thirty-two echinoderm specimens representing 16 species were analyzed for COI-5′ sequences, and BLAST assignments were highly concordant with those from GenBank and BOLD. Integrative validation confirmed that all taxa were monophyletic in the Neighbor Joining Tree, formed single OTUs in Cluster Sequences, and exhibited clear barcode gaps greater than 3% to the nearest-neighbor species. These results provided species-level resolution for 75% and genus-level resolution for 90% of the records. The dataset, spanning four classes, eight orders, and eleven families, enhances barcode coverage and contributes records (ProcessIDs. BINs; GenBank accessions) to public repositories. This study delivers the first curated COI-5′ reference library, supporting regional baselines for taxonomy, conservation, and biodiversity assessment.

A blue carbon eDNA marker reveals macroalgal signals from coastal to deep-sea sediments - Jeong-Mi Do; Yu-Hee Seo; Hae-Seo Noh; Yeonsu Shin; Jin-Won Lee; Boseong Kim; Jihun Kim; Sun-Young Shin; Ho-Sung Yoon (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Marine macroalgae play an important yet underrecognized role in coastal and benthic carbon cycling, with recent attention focusing on their contribution to blue carbon storage via detrital pathways. However, their ecological significance remains underrepresented in molecular monitoring studies, partly due to the absence of dedicated genetic markers for sedimentary detection. Here, we developed and validated a novel environmental DNA (eDNA) primer set, DSea-9, targeting a hypervariable region of the nuclear 18S rRNA gene optimized for macroalgal detection in marine sediments. The primer was designed by aligning over 7,000 macroalgal sequences and was evaluated through in silico PCR and in vitro amplification of 30 macroalgal species from Phaeophyceae, Rhodophyta, and Ulvophyceae. Field validation was performed on coastal and offshore sediment eDNA, with taxonomic assignments via PR2, SILVA, and NCBI databases. DSea-9 demonstrated high in silico coverage (>85–90%) and significantly improved the detection of macroalgal taxa such as Alaria and Palmaria , compared to conventional universal primers. Notably, DSea-9 enabled consistent detection of macroalgal DNA across a wide depth range, including the deepest sampled station (933 m), demonstrating its sensitivity to low-abundance DNA templates in offshore sediments. Overall, DSea-9 provides a sensitive and scalable tool for sedimentary eDNA monitoring of macroalgal biodiversity. Its application can contribute to refining biodiversity baselines, tracking macroalgal detritus dispersal, and strengthening the ecological representation of macroalgae in blue carbon assessments and sustainable marine management frameworks.

Development and characterization of an on-chip glioma outgrowth model - Joshua P. A. Daoud; Alexandra E. Collisson; Daniya Asaid; Ester Clarisse do Couto Lopes; Dimitrios Paraskevopoulos; Christopher A. R. Chapman (In vitro models, 2025)
Tumour recurrence in high-grade gliomas, such as glioblastoma, is extremely common due to the challenges associated with complete surgical removal. Approximately 95% of glioblastoma tumours recur within 2 cm of the tumour resection margin; however, unfortunately, the current clinical measurement techniques do not accurately capture cell state during critical stages of recurrence. The development of in vitro models for investigating glioblastoma recurrence outgrowth can inform further understanding of the mechanistic underpinnings of this process at a cellular level. This work presents the development of an on-chip in vitro platform which can be used to assess glioblastoma interactions with healthy neural cells. Using a custom single-channel multi-well microfluidic system, spheroids of GFP transfected rat glioma cells were co-cultured together with rat astrocytes to investigate differences in glioblastoma outgrowth between co-culture and monoculture (i.e. glioma only, or astrocyte only). Quantitative image analysis demonstrated significantly increased outgrowth of glioma cells from spheroids in co-culture compared to monoculture. Additionally, comparison of upregulation of markers associated with glioma aggressiveness (CD44) and astrocyte reactivity (glial fibrillary acidic protein) showed significant differences in cellular expression between the cells in co-culture and monoculture configurations. These findings align with existing literature suggesting that astrocytes facilitate a supportive environment for glioblastoma cells to proliferate and invade healthy tissue by changing to a reactive phenotype. Overall, this work presents a promising on-chip in vitro model that has the potential to aid in the quantification of glioblastoma invasion through directional control of outgrowth and offers the potential for the addition of complexities to more accurately model the glioblastoma neural cell microenvironment.

Oral functional limitation and risk of frailty onset in older adults: a sex-stratified 4-Year cohort study with competing risk analysis - Kyung-Yi Do; Chang Won Won; Miji Kim; Joong-Yeon Lim (GeroScience, 2025)
Background Oral functional decline may contribute to frailty in older adults by affecting nutrition, physical performance, and psychosocial well-being. However, longitudinal evidence using rigorous analytic approaches, including competing risk analysis, remains limited. This study examined the association between self-reported oral functional limitation and frailty onset over 4 years, with attention to sex differences. Methods We used 4-year prospective data from the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study, comprising 1558 community-dwelling older adults aged 70–84 years at baseline (2016). After excluding participants with missing data and baseline frailty, 1348 robust individuals were analyzed. Oral function was assessed using two self-reported items on chewing and pronunciation difficulties. Frailty was defined using the validated Korean Frailty Index. Cox proportional hazards and Fine–Gray competing risk models were applied to evaluate the risk of frailty onset, stratified by sex. Interaction analyses were performed for major comorbidities. Results Oral functional limitation was significantly associated with increased frailty risk (Cox-adjusted HR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.20–2.53; Fine–Gray-adjusted SHR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.17–2.46). This association was significant among women (HR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.52–3.92; SHR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.46–3.80), but not among men (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.44–1.73; SHR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.44–1.68). No significant interactions were observed with cardiovascular disease or osteoporosis. Conclusion Self-reported oral functional limitation was significantly associated with frailty onset over 4 years, particularly among women. Incorporating oral function assessment into geriatric screening and community health programs may facilitate early identification of risk and the implementation of preventive strategies for frailty.

Review of weighting methods for life cycle impact assessment under GLAM - Cecilia Askham; Rosalie Arendt; Till M. Bachmann; Luis C. Dias; Andrea Amadei; Laura Scherer; Hua Qian; Lea Rupcic; Bengt Steen; João Santos; Masaharu Motoshita; Breno Barros Telles do Carmo; et al. (The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2025)
Purpose Weighting is the process of assigning relative importance to life cycle inventory results or indicator results across impact categories, using weighting factors based on value choices. It is an optional step within Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) but plays an important role in interpreting and communicating the relative importance of different environmental impacts. As part of the Global LCIA Guidance (GLAM) project under the UN Life Cycle Initiative, a comprehensive review of weighting methods was conducted to better understand which approaches are most appropriate for different applications in LCA. Methods Members of the GLAM weighting subtask identified and reviewed twenty-seven weighting methods. These methods were grouped into four categories: Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), monetary, data-driven and distance-to-target methods. Classifiers based on inherent features of the weighting methods were applied to support their inclusion or exclusion from further considerations. Each method then was assessed against a set of evaluation criteria defined by the subtask members. A color-code system (green, yellow or red) was applied to indicate the degree to which each method met each criterion to facilitate comparison and communication. Results and discussion Each method was briefly described with appropriate references, including examples of usage in LCA studies where available. The review results are summarized in a table that highlights the performance of each method against the evaluation criteria. All monetary methods are classified as trade-off rates, whereas there are MCDA methods and data-driven methods that can be either trade-off rates or importance coefficients. All distance-to-target methods are classified as importance coefficients. The ability of each method to incorporate temporal discounting or cultural differentiation varies, depending on the data availability and study design. None of the methods reviewed fully met all evaluation criteria, especially within the scope of the GLAM project. Some criteria (like Scientific validity) are sufficiently met by almost all of these methods. Conclusions Existing weighting methods based on different approaches have both advantages and limitations. No single method is universally sufficient, and their validity depends on context. This comprehensive overview of available weighting methods provides a valuable starting point for practitioners seeking to identify suitable weighting method for specific LCA applications. To facilitate easy use, a software was also developed based on this review to support the selection of the most appropriate weighting method for LCA studies.

The use of a low-cost, small-aperture array as an auxiliary tool to improve infrasound monitoring in the Azores region - Maria do Céu Jesus; Giacomo Belli; Duccio Gheri; Sandro Matos; Nicolau Wallenstein; Emanuele Marchetti (Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2025)
The 2022’s seismo-volcanic crisis on São Jorge Island of the Azores archipelago has provided an opportunity to deploy a portable infrasound array as a collaborative work between the Research Institute for Volcanology and Risk Assessment (IVAR) of the University of the Azores (UAc) and the University of Florence (UniFI). The four-element array, SJ1, became operational on 2 April 2022. Despite being deployed in a first stage to monitor the activities related to the volcanic unrest on São Jorge Island, SJ1 worked as a supporting tool to the existing IMS infrasound station IS42, located on Graciosa Island at ~ 40 km distance, leading to an enhancement of the infrasonic monitoring network in the region. This work emphasises the importance of low-cost portable infrasound arrays to improve the coverage of infrasound observations for local and regional monitoring purposes in the Azores region. Two events recorded by both arrays are briefly exemplified: a low-magnitude earthquake on São Jorge Island and a fireball which crossed the North Atlantic Ocean. Infrasound data from both arrays are combined to obtain a fast but still accurate source localization of the analysed events.

A new endemic species, Planchonella foveata (Sapotaceae), with an updated identification key to the genus in Fiji - Kent Do; Ulf Swenson (Kew Bulletin, 2025)
Summary Planchonella is a large, monophyletic genus in Sapotaceae, containing around 110 tropical shrub and tree species. A new endemic species, P. foveata K.Do & Swenson is described and illustrated from Fiji, accompanied by an identification key to the genus in the archipelago. It grows mainly in lowland habitats and is phylogenetically more closely related to Micronesian and Malukan taxa than to any other species in Fiji. Planchonella foveata is characterised by the presence of many fovea or minute pit-like structures on the abaxial leaf surface, a trait which it shares with P. vitiensis, but which is absent from other species in the archipelago. However, P. foveata is easily recognised by its longer corolla (2.3 – 3.0 mm) vs (1 – 2 mm) in P. vitiensis , its leaves being scattered along the branches, a hairy tuft on the outer sepals and greenish flowers (vs sepals without a hairy tuft and with yellowish flowers). The conservation status of P. foveata is assessed as data deficient (DD) due to the absence of up-to-date knowledge of present vegetation disturbance and its distribution. With our addition, ten species of Planchonella are now recognised in Fiji, all identifiable with the new key presented here.

Generation of NOD SCID mice with near-complete deletions of Il2rg and Prkdc for human cancer and HSC engraftment - You-Min Kim; Hee Ju Na; Do Hee Kwon; Jae Hoon Lee; Bo Min Park; Subin Lee; Tae Wook Nam; Mi Yeon Park; Sun Ha Park; Sung Joo Kim; Bongkum Choi; Han-Woong Lee (Transgenic Research, 2025)
Immunodeficient mouse models are invaluable tools for preclinical research, particularly for cancer therapies and studies of the human immune system. Notably, strains with combined Prkdc (scid) and Il2rg (null) mutations—such as NOG and NSG mice— are widely used due to their profound immunodeficiency, allowing efficient engraftment of various human cells. However, these models were generated by disrupting the Il2rg gene through replacement with a neomycin resistance (Neo) cassette in embryonic stem cells. Incomplete excision of this cassette can inadvertently alter the expression of neighboring genes, thereby introducing potential confounding variables. In addition, they may still express mutant mRNAs that escape nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and/or produce truncated proteins with residual activity, potentially compromising the interpretation of experimental outcomes. To address this, we developed the N2G mouse strain (NOD-2-Genes KO) where almost all genomic loci of both Prkdc and Il2rg genes are deleted via CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. N2G mice exhibited tumor growth comparable to NOG mice following the transplantation with several human cancer cell lines. Moreover, human CD34 + cord blood (CB) cells engrafted into N2G mice showed robust reconstitution of human immune cells, especially T cells in peripheral blood, spleen and bone marrow, compared to NSG mice. These results suggest that N2G mice, lacking residual mutant mRNA and the exogenous Neo resistant gene, offer an advanced model for preclinical studies.

Understanding adoption risks of peat-adapted agroforestry options in South Sumatra through decision analysis - Erlangga Erlangga; Hoa Do; Sonya Dewi; Eike Luedeling (Agroforestry Systems, 2025)
Peatlands in South Sumatra, Indonesia, covering 24% of the region, are vital for local livelihoods and ecosystem services. Unsustainable cultivation practices threaten their sustainability through irreversible drying of the peat, increased greenhouse gas emissions and fire risks. Agroforestry practices, when adapted to peatlands, may offer multiple socio-economic and environmental benefits. This study evaluated the economic viability of two rice-based and three rubber-based agroforestry systems, designed by World Agroforestry for cultivated peatlands in South Sumatra, comparing them to monoculture baselines. Using decision analysis and probabilistic modelling, including Monte Carlo simulations, we conducted probabilistic cost-benefits analyses, accounting for risks and uncertainties and incorporating expert knowledge. Our model simulated decision outcomes under two scenarios—with and without considering family labour in the costs—to assess the impact of family labour on the outcomes. We identified key uncertainties affecting model outcomes through sensitivity analysis and value of information calculations. Our results showed that rice-based agroforestry systems require substantial establishment costs, mainly for constructing dikes to enable dryland crop cultivation. Despite these upfront costs, the two designed rice-based agroforestry systems offer the potential for higher net returns compared to rice monoculture, especially when family labour costs are excluded from the calculation. All rubber-based agroforestry systems demonstrate higher net returns in the long term compared to rubber monoculture in both family labour scenarios. Narrowing knowledge gaps related to key variables, such as the discount rate, crop yields, crop prices, risk event probabilities and rice yield losses, is important for supporting the decision-making process for rice-based agroforestry systems.

Mind the Gaps: Shortfalls in Studies of the Intraspecific Genetic Diversity of Plants Across the Gran Chaco - María Laura González; Gonzalo A. Camps; Alicia N. Sérsic; Andrea Cosacov; M. Cristina Acosta; Dana L. Aguilar; Noelia E. A. Almirón; Ana Laura Chiapero; Diego López Lauenstein; Marisel Scaldaferro; Maria Sosa‐Pivatto; Gisela Via do Pico; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2025)
Intraspecific genetic diversity (IGD) is a fundamental component of biodiversity, essential for understanding the evolutionary histories and demographic processes of species, and is key to effective conservation planning. However, ecologically important regions such as the Gran Chaco, South America's second‐largest forested biome, remain largely underexplored. Encompassing diverse vegetation across climatic and altitudinal gradients, it harbours more than 3400 vascular plant species, 11% of which are endemic. Despite its ecological importance, genetic research in the region is limited and often biased. We reviewed IGD studies on vascular plants in the Gran Chaco from 1985 to 2024, identifying 85 studies covering 74 species. Coverage remains alarmingly low, with only 2.14% of species and 9.95% of the phylogenetic diversity represented. Research is skewed towards perennial (91%) and tree (46%) species, with limited representation of annuals and herbaceous taxa. Most studies relied on nuclear DNA (66%), fewer used chloroplast DNA (27%) and only 7% combined both genomes. Geographically, 33% of the Gran Chaco has no IGD data, and a further 22% includes data from a single species. Genetic sampling is concentrated in more accessible areas with higher road density and proximity to research institutions, particularly at higher altitudes. We found that in the Argentine Chaco ecoregions, 4.4 species have been genetically studied for every 100 species recorded, while in the Bolivia and Paraguay Chaco ecoregions, this proportion drops to 1.1 species for every 100 in each country. Future research on IGD in the Gran Chaco should broaden its taxonomic scope, diversify genomic tools and expand geographic coverage. Addressing these gaps will provide critical insights into the biogeographic history of the Gran Chaco and strengthen conservation strategies in this threatened and understudied biome.

Agronomic Performance and Water Use Indicators of Cactus Species Widely Cultivated in Semiarid Regions - George do Nascimento Araújo Júnior; Luciana Sandra Bastos de Souza; Alexandre Maniçoba da Rosa Ferraz Jardim; Carlos André Alves de Souza; Sérvulo Mercier Siqueira e Silva; Djalma Cordeiro dos Santos; Antonio José Steidle Neto; José Edson Florentino de Morais; José Francisco da Cruz Neto; Marcelo José da Silva; José Carlos Mendonça; Enio Farias de França e Silva; et al. (Irrigation and Drainage, 2025)
This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance, crop evapotranspiration (ET c ), crop coefficients (K c , K cb and K e ) and yield response factor (K y ) of three forage cactus clones—Orelha de Elefante Mexicana (OEM), Miúda (MIU) and IPA Sertânia (IPA)—grown in a semiarid environment. Four experiments involving different irrigation strategies and the use of mulch were conducted between 2012 and 2020. The OEM clone presented the highest yields of fresh matter (428.44 Mg ha −1 ) and dry matter (39.14 Mg ha −1 ). The use of mulch increased the average productivity by 15% and reduced soil evaporation by 13%. The highest ET c (3.14 mm day −1 ) was recorded for the OEM. The average K c values under cultivation without mulch were 0.61 (OEM), 0.59 (MIU) and 0.62 (IPA). When cultivated with mulch (8.2 Mg ha −1 ), a K c value of 0.45 (OEM) was observed. Under a relatively high mulch rate (18 Mg ha −1 ), the K c values increased to 0.70 (OEM), 0.66 (MIU) and 0.63 (IPA). The average K y across clones was 0.80, reinforcing the adaptability of the forage cactus to the semiarid region. The results highlight the influence of species and management strategies on water use and productivity, emphasizing the importance of considering these factors in irrigation planning.

Ozone‐Tolerant Rice for Air‐Polluted Environments - Muhammad Shahedul Alam; Mirza Mofazzal Islam; Minh Khue Do; Blessing Omo Osimahon; Aishwarya Kushal Karki; Aleena Ittapad Baburajan; Marc Hartung; Sawitree Autarmat; Yanru Feng; Matthias Wissuwa; Michael Frei (Global Change Biology, 2025)
Recent decades have witnessed a surge in tropospheric ozone concentrations across many Asian countries, including Bangladesh, posing a significant threat to rice yields and regional food security. This study presents a comprehensive marker‐assisted breeding program designed to introgress two quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring ozone tolerance into elite Bangladeshi rice varieties. We crossed the donor landrace Kasalath with high‐yielding varieties BRRI dhan28 and Binadhan‐11, generating BC 2 F 4 lines with an average of 87% recipient parent genome recovery. These lines harbored diverse combinations of positive alleles at the target QTLs while retaining the agronomic traits of modern rice varieties. In controlled open‐top‐chamber experiments, the presence of these QTLs in elite backgrounds mitigated ozone stress symptoms, reduced physiological damage such as lipid peroxidation or loss in photosynthetic CO 2 assimilation rates, and alleviated yield losses. Field trials conducted in a high ozone stress environment in Bangladesh, with and without the ozone protectant ethylenediurea (EDU), revealed that sensitive recipient parents suffered under ambient ozone concentrations. In contrast, the ozone‐tolerant lines exhibited significantly less yield loss and were less affected by pollution. Our findings demonstrate the efficacy of marker‐assisted breeding in adapting rice to changing atmospheric conditions, offering a robust strategy for safeguarding food security in the face of global change.

Engineering Critical Assessment of IMO Type C Tanks: A Comparative Study of Shell and Solid Element Models - Dong In Kim; Nak-Kyun Cho; Jin-Ha Hwang; Yu Yao Lin; Do Kyun Kim (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
In the present study, an Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) is conducted for an International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Type C liquefied CO2 (LCO2) cargo tank to evaluate the effect of finite element configuration on structural integrity in the presence of potential flaws. With the increasing demand for LCO2 carriers to support carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), conventional stress-based design approaches outlined in the International Gas Carrier (IGC) Code have limitations because they neglect imperfections resulting from fabrication and material. To assess these flaws, the fracture mechanics-based ECA methodology, as prescribed by the BS 7910 standard, is applied to a bilobe IMO type C tank designed for cryogenic and pressurised conditions. The assessment integrates fracture toughness, stress intensity factor, and applied loads. Both the two-dimensional shell element model and the three-dimensional solid element model are developed and compared in terms of stress distribution, safety factor for fracture, and fatigue crack growth predictions. Results show that while shell models offer computational efficiency, solid models capture bending stresses and stress concentrations at geometric discontinuities more accurately, resulting in higher reliability in ECA outcomes. The comparative analysis highlights that the web and butt weld near the centre bulkhead are the most vulnerable regions, and fatigue crack growth is highly sensitive to input data, such as stress intensity factor range and fatigue crack growth laws. These findings provide practical guidance for applying ECA in bilobe LCO2 tank design and safety assessment.

Elucidating the neuromeric organization of the Mongolian gerbil brain - F. Lucero-Arteaga; S. Labegorra; A. Abrego-Alvarez; V. Heck; A. I. Portu; M. A. Boeris; A. Alonso; B. Ribeiro Do-Couto; M. Á. García-Cabezas; K. Y. Tseng; José Luis Ferran (Brain Structure and Function, 2025)
The Mongolian Gerbil ( Meriones unguiculatus ) diverged from rats/mice around 45 million years ago and developed adaptations to extreme temperatures and water scarcity. Another feature of the Mongolian Gerbils is their social monogamy similar to that of prairie voles. These observations suggest that there are potential differences in the Mongolian Gerbil brain that are distinct from that of rats and mice. The goal of the present study is to establish the extent to which the neuromeric organization of the brain is conserved in the Mongolian Gerbil and to gain insights on how evolutionary expansion and diversification of brain regions occur across species. Our data shows that the multineuromeric origin of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive processes in the Mongolian Gerbil is similar to that in mice and rats, spanning from the diencephalon, midbrain, and the rostral hindbrain. There are also observable anatomical differences. However, most of the components characteristic of these neuromeres are identifiable in the Mongolian gerbil, closely mirroring those found in mice and rats. Together, these findings suggest that the conserved neuromeric organization likely stems from a restricted genetic toolset that began in the Muridae family 45 million years ago, and that a profound reorganization of the fundamental structural plan delineating the neuromeric segmentation is not required for the emergence of diverse functionality among species of phylogenetically related families. Future studies are needed to establish how the genetic programs within each neuromeric unit are influenced by environmental factors that ultimately impact the size of the neuromeric derivatives and their functional connectivity.
