There Is More to the Taxonomy of Schoenus apogon (Cyperaceae) Than Meets the Eye: An Unresolved Complex With Cytological Diversity - Yu Ito; Norio Tanaka; Jeremy J. Bruhl; Karen L. Wilson; Okihito Yano (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2026)
Schoenus apogon s . lat . is widely distributed in Australia, Japan and New Zealand. There has been limited cytological and molecular study of this species complex and putatively related species. Different chromosome numbers have been reported from New Zealand (2 n = 8) and Japan (2 n = 18), perhaps indicating taxonomic differences. We investigate the chromosome diversity and phylogenetic relationships in the S . apogon complex by root‐tip squashes to expand the sample of chromosome numbers, and by examining chloroplast and nuclear DNA gene regions ( trn L ‐trn F and ITS). Occurrence of 2 n = 8 is now known from Japan and Australia as well as New Zealand. Novel chromosome numbers recorded for Japanese samples, 2 n = 16 and 17, making an aneuploid series, and 2 n = 10 and 20 for Australian species indicate independent polypoid events. There is some evidence that the plesiomorphic chromosome number for the complex is 2 n = 10. Both gene regions recovered the S. apogon complex as monophyletic but relationships within the complex were largely unresolved. We found no support for recognition of S. caespitans and S. yarrabensis or several putative species as distinct from S. apogon . We suggest approaches for testing these results, aiming at a robust estimate of phylogeny for the complex.

A practical guide to investigating biomolecular condensates: a comment from the plant community - Jiaxuan Peng; Jaime Agudo-Canalejo; Monika Chodasiewicz; Daniël Van Damme; Vangelis Daskalakis; Manuel González-Fuente; Rui Gao; Emmanouela Filippidi; Hongwei Guo; Shengbo He; Kai Huang; Shuai Huang; et al. (Science China Life Sciences, 2026)
Biomolecular condensates formed through phase separation have emerged as a central principle of cellular organization, enabling the dynamic regulation of gene expression, signaling, metabolism, and stress responses. While early conceptual advances in condensate biology have largely originated from animal and in vitro systems, plant cells present a unique set of biological and technical challenges, including rigid cell walls, turgor pressure, plastid autofluorescence, complex endomembrane organization, and acute environmental responsiveness. These distinctive features impede the direct transfer of existing methodologies and drive the development of heterogeneous experimental practices. In this community comment, we present a comprehensive methodological framework for studying biomolecular condensates in plants, spanning in silico prediction, in vitro reconstitution, molecular dynamics simulations, live-cell and super-resolution imaging, material property measurements, membrane-associated condensates, and synthetic condensate engineering. We highlight best practices, common pitfalls, and plant-specific considerations, emphasizing the need for orthogonal validation, quantitative interpretation, and physiological relevance. By consolidating current methodologies and articulating shared principles, this review aims to establish a foundation for rigorous, reproducible, and conceptually coherent research in condensate biology of plants and beyond, with emerging implications for crop genetic improvement and synthetic biology applications.

A Dataset of Tropical Cyclones in the Western North Pacific from Chinese Fengyun Geostationary Meteorological Satellite Observations over the Past Two Decades - Xiaoqin Lu; Johnny C. L. Chan; Jie Tang; Hui Yu; Feng Lu; Yue Wang; Ming Ying; Runling Yu; Lan Wei; Longping Hu (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2026)
This paper introduces a comprehensive Tropical Cyclone (TC) dataset based on China’s FengYun (FY) series geostationary satellite observations in the Western North Pacific (WNP), designated as FYSATTY. This innovative dataset integrates high-resolution geostationary meteorological satellite observations with best-track data, providing a unique resource for TC monitoring and analysis in the WNP region. FYSATTY is derived from infrared, water vapor, and visible channel imagery captured by the FY-2 and FY-4 satellites, which is processed using an equal-interval latitude-longitude grid system within a 1500-km radius centered on each TC. The best-track data, sourced from the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), is interpolated into 3-h intervals to ensure temporal consistency with the satellite observations. This dataset consists of 99714 observations for 614 TCs from 2005 to 2024 and will be updated annually. It represents the most comprehensive collection of TC satellite imagery derived from the FY series of geostationary meteorological satellites of the National Satellite Meteorological Center (NSMC). It encompasses a synthesis of infrared, water vapor, and visible channel data from the FY-2 and FY-4 satellite series. The dataset has been meticulously cropped and georeferenced using the CMA best-track data, with fundamental geographic spatial calibration completed. Comparative analysis with analogous elements within other TC geostationary meteorological satellite datasets reveals a high degree of consistency. It is suitable for reanalyzing TC best-track data, assessing climatic characteristics of TC satellite observations, and enhancing forecasting capabilities. This dataset is particularly useful for TC research, forecasting, and machine learning, and is publicly available.

Clockwise or Counterclockwise: Hysteresis in the Response of Ecosystem Respiration to Temperature - Houkun Chu; Lìyǐn L. Liáng; Miko U. F. Kirschbaum; Jianyang Xia; Ashley Ballantyne; Kailiang Yu; Zheng Fu; Song Wang; Weinan Chen; Dashuan Tian; Qinyu Zheng; Jiaqiang Liao; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Ecosystem respiration (ER) often responds asymmetrically to seasonal warming and cooling, producing thermal hysteresis. Yet, its global patterns and drivers remain unknown. Here, we used daily ER data from 324 eddy‐covariance sites worldwide and revealed two contrasting hysteresis patterns in the temperature response of ER: clockwise hysteresis (ER is higher during the warming than cooling season) at 173 sites and counterclockwise hysteresis (ER is higher during the cooling than warming season) at 151 sites. The direction and magnitude of ER hysteresis were largely governed by the seasonal timing mismatch between precipitation and vegetation‐derived substrate availability. Higher substrate availability during the warming season enhanced ER and promoted clockwise hysteresis, whereas moisture limitation suppressed ER during the warming season and caused counterclockwise hysteresis. These findings provide robust evidence that ER is a complex process responding to the availability of carbon substrate and regulated differentially by seasonal temperature and precipitation. Our results highlight that the hysteresis of terrestrial carbon release is a key aspect of the global carbon cycle, with important implications for understanding and projecting land carbon‐climate feedbacks.

(The AAPS Journal, 2026)
Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a rapidly evolving therapeutic modality, combining the selective targeting of monoclonal antibodies with highly potent small molecule payloads. Their inherent structural complexity demands a sophisticated and multi-faceted bioanalytical approach spanning preclinical discovery through late-stage clinical development. This white paper, developed by the ADC Working Group of the AAPS bioanalytical community, comprising over 100 members from industry, contract research organizations (CROs), and regulatory agencies, provides updated recommendations for ADC bioanalysis. Building upon the foundational 2013 AAPS position paper and recent publications governing regulatory frameworks on PK considerations, this work addresses advances in bioanalytical quantitation strategies for total antibody (tAb), conjugated ADC, free (unconjugated) payload, and drug-to antibody ratio (DAR); novel immunogenicity assessment considerations; soluble target interference; critical reagent lifecycle management; payload-specific stability requirements; cross-validation strategies; and regulatory considerations. The recommendations presented herein reflect over a decade of scientific progress and are designed to serve as a comprehensive, empirically validated, and industry aligned bioanalytical framework for contemporary ADC drug development.

Land use influences dissolved organic matter composition in the U.S. Coastal Critical Zone Network - Aleksandar I. Goranov; Elizabeth V. Whitney; Brian R. Moyer; Katherine L. Tully; Patrick G. Hatcher; Yu-Ping Chin (Aquatic Sciences, 2026)
Coastal watersheds are highly productive biogeochemical systems supporting robust coastal fisheries and contributing significantly to the marine gross primary production flux. These ecosystems are comprised of civil infrastructure, farms, forests, and marshes, and their diversity is reflected in the quantity and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Here, we assess the role of farming in influencing DOM from surface waters of six coastal tidal creeks adjacent to forest and farm sites in the US Critical Zone Network. Molecular fingerprinting using electrospray ionization - Fourier transform - ion cyclotron resonance - mass spectrometry revealed that farm-influenced DOM was enriched in nitrogen-, sulfur-, and phosphorus-containing compounds. The concentration of ammonium [NH 4 + ] correlated significantly with nitrogen-containing formulas that could comprise NH 3 adducts, suggesting that NH 4 + (e.g., from fertilizer) can be incorporated into DOM through two-electron chemical reaction pathways such as the Michael addition, one-electron reactions such as Fenton oxidation, or biotic pathways. This suggests the use of [NH 4 + ] measurements as a potential approach to parameterize the impact of agriculture on coastal environments. Collectively, these results establish a foundation for future studies in the U.S. Critical Zone Network on how land and water interact. More broadly, our molecular fingerprinting of DOM corroborated with the global observations of elevated concentrations of nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus in farm-influenced freshwater DOM, showing that agricultural activities (e.g., annual fertilizer application) can also influence the DOM composition in coastal environments of high salinity and pH.

Theta-aurora dynamics: Ionospheric mapping of evolving magnetospheric plasma boundaries - Xin-Ming Chen; Zan-Yang Xing; Qing-He Zhang; Yong-Liang Zhang; Hui-Gen Yang; L. R. Lyons; K. Oksavik; S. E. Milan; Rui-Long Guo; Tong Xu; Bin-Bin Tang; Xiang-Yu Wang; et al. (Science China Earth Sciences, 2026)
The theta-aurora, an auroral feature bridging the nightside and dayside auroral oval under a northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), is closely linked to the energetic plasma evolving within the magnetosphere. While existing views emphasize that energetic plasma resides on closed field lines, the mechanism by which it is accelerated and precipitates on open field lines to form the theta aurora remains poorly understood. Here, we introduce a mechanism derived from multi-instrument observations of theta-aurora evolution in the Northern Hemisphere and simulations conducted using a global magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model. The observations and simulations exhibit excellent agreement, revealing that the theta-aurora represents ionospheric projections of boundaries between distinct magnetospheric plasma. These different magnetospheric plasma, an energetic structure originating from the plasma sheet and the preexisting cold lobe plasma, develop a boundary with contrasting physical properties that drive localized plasma instabilities. Particle precipitation occurs at plasma boundary, and controls both the formation and temporal evolution of theta-aurora. Our findings provide critical insights into the coupling between the ionosphere and magnetosphere under northward IMF.

Shift in Soil Fauna Feeding Mode With Litter Quality Across Forest Biomes - Sergey M. Tsurikov; Andrew D. Barnes; Ulrich Brose; Felicity V. Crotty; Anton A. Goncharov; Anastasia Yu. Gorbunova; Fujio Hyodo; Malte Jochum; Bernhard Klarner; Daniil I. Korobushkin; Zhipeng Li; Dana Liebke; et al. (Ecology Letters, 2026)
Soil fauna regulates litter decomposition and soil organic matter transformation, acting as both litter and microbial feeders. Whether these feeding modes shift along environmental gradients remains unclear. We tested if microbivory increases with decreasing litter quality and in colder climates, both factors limiting detritus digestion by fauna. Using stable isotope composition (δ 13 C, δ 15 N) of 7408 soil invertebrate samples from 228 forest sites across temperate to tropical biomes, we determined δ 15 N values are positively associated with litter C:N ratio and mean annual temperature, indicating a shift from detritivory toward microbivory under low litter quality with additional modulation by climate. In contrast, δ 13 C values showed no consistent association with litter C:N ratio or climate, reflecting context dependent microbial carbon routing. Our findings highlight litter quality as the primary driver of the detritivory‐to‐microbivory shift in soil fauna, with implications for predicting changes in climate and plant communities on carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems.

Native‐Alien Dichotomy in Pathogen Genomics: Host Specialization Versus Environmental Decoupling - Yongning Li; George L. W. Perry; Mahajabeen Padamsee; Shixiao Yu (Ecology Letters, 2026)
Genome size is a key genomic trait underpinning evolutionary potential and ecological adaptation in pathogens, yet its biogeographic patterns remain poorly understood. From New Zealand data, we quantify the influence of host traits versus environmental factors on biogeographic patterns of genome size in pathogenic fungi, and test whether these predictors differ between native and alien pathogens. Host plants were the strongest predictors of genome size, with effects particularly pronounced in Basidiomycota and biotrophic fungi. Within co‐origin host–pathogen pairs (native–native; alien–alien), conservative host traits were associated with smaller pathogen genomes overall, but with larger genomes in Basidiomycota. Host effects were stronger in native pathogens, while environmental filtering diverged, with climate dominating in native pathogens and terrain‐related factors in alien pathogens. Native pathogens exhibited pronounced geographic genomic differentiation, whereas alien pathogens showed spatial homogenization. These results reveal a hierarchical framework that enhances predictions of disease dynamics under global environmental change.

MT-ATP6 9035T>C Variant Causes Ataxia With Azoospermia and Apparent Anticipation in a Four-generation Kindred - Changrui Xiao; David Zhu; Jon Pryor; Sally A. Frutiger; H. Brent Clark; Hannah L. Casey; Matthew Bower; Guo-yun Yu; Xiaofei Du; Camilo Toro; Christopher M. Gomez (The Cerebellum, 2026)
Background The hereditary cerebellar ataxias are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by progressive cerebellar degeneration leading to incoordination of gait, speech, limb, and eye movements. Hundreds of genes encoding diverse proteins underlie this family of degenerative disorders that may exhibit autosomal dominant, recessive, mitochondrial, or X-linked inheritance. Variations in clinical presentation, such as age of onset and severity, are typical of these disorders and are attributed to other genetic effects, notably repeat expansion instability. Methods In this observational study, we evaluated 45 individuals in a 5-generation kindred exhibiting features of progressive ataxia and cognitive impairment with wide-ranging ages of onset, intergenerational anticipation, diverse clinical features, and male infertility. Results The variant (m.9035 T > C) in the gene MT-ATP6 was detected in all affected individuals, and the age of onset from early childhood to the 8th decade was inversely correlated with heteroplasmy levels. Neuropsychological evaluation of affected individuals demonstrated low average/borderline overall intellectual ability and weaknesses in working memory, executive function, memory, and fine motor skills. Affected males had testicular atrophy and azoospermia. Postmortem examination revealed widespread cerebellar Purkinje cell loss. Testicular biopsy from one sterile male demonstrated a complete absence of germ cells and progenitors. Discussion This study expands the phenotypic spectrum of MT-ATP6 to include azoospermia in affected males with cerebellar ataxia. Those with low levels of heteroplasmy had mild adult-onset ataxia reminiscent of many forms of SCA. Those with high levels of heteroplasmy had early onset and suffered from the full complement of ataxia, mild cognitive impairment, and in males’ azoospermia.

Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegeneration - Nikhil N. Chaudhari; Owen M. Vega; Phoebe Imms; Jaron M. Kawamura; Nahian F. Chowdhury; Tamara Jafar; Andrei Irimia; Michael Weiner; Paul Aisen; Ronald Petersen; Clifford R. Jack; William Jagust; et al. (GeroScience, 2026)
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can find aging-related structural alterations above and beyond cortical thickness and atrophy. Using a novel approach to DNN interpretability, we mapped brain aging progression in 25,539 cognitively normal UK Biobank adults aged 45–83 years. Cortical aging is found to involve anatomic features becoming prominent during the 50s within frontolateral, mesolimbic, cuneal, and occipitotemporal regions. From these foci, aging-related features propagate to adjacent areas at rates peaking in the 60s. Cortical thinning and atrophy do not trend closely with neurodegeneration, but important DNN-identifiable anatomic features have spatiotemporal dynamics that match those of amyloid or tau. Our results challenge the assumption that MRI cannot map anatomic features trending with neurodegeneration. Interpretable DNNs can empower MRI to quantify anatomic aging as a process of spatial feature expansion from focal regions into nearby structures in the sequence of neurodegenerative pathology. Traditional morphometrics explain only ∼1% of variance in DNN-identifiable features, which clarifies why the former are insensitive to anatomic changes involving neurodegeneration. Our results conceptualize brain aging in the context of spatial and temporal parallels between anatomic senescence and neuropathology. These findings may help to map cognitively normal adults’ neurodegenerative anatomy even without PET measurements. Graphical Abstract

This study aimed to assess the applicability of the Orbit ® Subretinal Delivery System [Orbit ® SDS, 2nd Generation, clinical-grade device] and prototypes for subretinal injection (SRI) in dogs of different ages. Following ex vivo and in vivo testing of the clinical grade Orbit ® SDS in 7 adult canine eyes, 8 normal dogs (13 eyes; age range: 10–72 weeks) were injected with an AAV2/5-CBA-tdTomato-WPRE vector using different Orbit ® SDS prototype devices. Dogs underwent non-invasive fundus photography regularly post-injection (PI). Retinal imaging including optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) and en face null OCT was performed in most dogs at 5- and 9-weeks PI. Following termination, eyes were examined histologically. Ex vivo and in vivo SRI could be performed in 7 adult eyes including in that of a dog with end stage retinal degeneration. SRI of AAV2/5-CBA-tdTomato-WPRE was also successful in all 13 eyes including those of juvenile animals, yet this frequently required multiple attempts and/or using custom-modified devices that were adjusted to the smaller curvature of the ocular globes. Localized tdTomato expression was found in 11/13 eyes along the cannula path in the suprachoroidal space (SCS) in the sclera and choroid. Clinical and cellular signs of inflammation were seen in 7/13 eyes. The Orbit ® SDS device allows for controlled subretinal injections via a posterior approach in adult and juvenile dogs. There was variable vector reflux from the subretinal bleb and/or leakage from the device into the SCS. A cellular immune reaction to the AAV capsid/transgene may have contributed to retinal and choroidal inflammation.

Realm Specific Adaptations Lead to Contrasting Global Patterns in Submerged and Emergent Aquatic Plant Height - Yang Liu; Lars L. Iversen; Janne Alahuhta; Kenneth Thorø Martinsen; Kevin Murphy; Wei Li; Yu Cao; Lars Baastrup‐Spohr (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2026)
Aim This study aims to evaluate whether the trait–environment relationships known for terrestrial plant height extend to freshwater macrophytes, and to identify the primary environmental factors influencing global height patterns in emergent and fully submerged aquatic plants. Location Global. Time Period Species occurrence records and height measurements compiled from 1931 to 2022. Major Taxa Studied Freshwater plant species. Methods We compiled a global dataset of maximum plant height records for 1735 aquatic plant species, categorised by life form (partially emergent vs. submerged). Using generalised additive models, we tested how plant height varied along latitudinal gradients and how it was related to environmental predictors including temperature, relative inorganic carbon supply, and water depth (indicated by habitat availability). We explicitly analysed whether these relationships differed between the two life forms and validated these patterns using site‐scale species and environmental data from northern temperate lakes and streams. Results Species with emergent growth increase in height with warmer temperature. On the contrary, fully submerged species exhibit increased height with higher inorganic carbon availability and colder climates. At the local scale, submerged plant height is positively associated with relative inorganic carbon supply in lakes and streams of the northern temperate zone. Main Conclusions The relationships between environmental variables and plant height differ between emergent to completely submerged life forms, consistent with realm‐specific patterns in trait‐environment correlations. These differing patterns highlight that trait‐environment coupling in freshwater systems may not parallel those in terrestrial ecosystems and suggest that life form mediates species' responses to environmental variation.

Microbial Responses to Warming Reduce Deep Blue Carbon Storage - Leilei Xiao; Jian Liu; Genevieve L. Noyce; Jaehyun Lee; Carlos M. Duarte; Meng Zhou; Min Luo; Ruifeng Sun; Run Dang; Lifeng Zhou; Lirong Zhang; Chuancheng Fu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Coastal wetlands are critical blue carbon reservoirs, yet the depth‐resolved impacts of warming on belowground carbon dynamics remain poorly understood. Over the course of an 8‐year in situ experiment, we investigated plant‐derived carbon inputs, soil carbon losses via respiration, and microbially mediated carbon fixation across a 60 cm soil profile under a projected 2°C atmospheric warming scenario. Plant carbon fixation (above‐ and belowground net primary productivity) and soil respiration exhibited synchronized responses to warming, with an initial increase, followed by a decline in the mid‐term, and no significant response in the later stages. Soil and microbial respiration stabilized after prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, as these processes were constrained by substrate availability. In contrast, phospholipid fatty acid profiling, amino sugar biomarkers, and metagenome‐assembled genomes consistently indicated a greater than one‐third reduction in microbial carbon fixation within subsoils (40–60 cm). Our fully factorial, depth‐stratified warming design reveals the particular vulnerability of deep soil microbial carbon retention to long‐term climate warming, independent of shifts in plant input or respiratory carbon loss. This work highlights underappreciated pathways influencing soil blue carbon dynamics in a changing world.

Warming Reduces the Positive Effect of Nitrogen Addition on Soil Organic Carbon in Grasslands - Ting‐Shuai Shi; Pablo García‐Palacios; Scott L. Collins; Josep Peñuelas; Jordi Sardans; Kailiang Yu; Wen‐Bin Ke; Caixia Zhang; Jian‐Sheng Ye (Ecology Letters, 2026)
Nitrogen (N) addition can increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in some grasslands, however, it is unknown whether N addition may enhance SOC in a warmer climate at broad spatial scales. We conduct a field experiment to test how N addition and warming interactively influence SOC in a temperate semiarid grassland. N addition significantly increases SOC by 14%, while simultaneous N addition and warming significantly decreases SOC by 25% relative to N‐only addition. This result is further supported by a global meta‐analysis, which shows that N addition (1 g N m −2 yr −1 ) increases SOC content by 0.2% relative to ambient conditions in grasslands, but the positive effect of N on SOC significantly declines at a rate of 0.06% per °C of increased mean annual temperature. Our field experiment and meta‐analysis suggest that warming may reduce or even eliminate the positive effect of N addition on SOC in grasslands.

Precipitation variability interacts with mean precipitation to restructure a semiarid grassland community - Jennifer A. Rudgers; Laureano A. Gherardi; Purbendra Yogi; Melissa Bacigalupa; Tom E. X. Miller; Jacob J. Blais; Lana Bolin; Scott L. Collins; Enqing Hou; Yiqi Luo; Javier O. Morales; William T. Pockman; et al. (Ecology, 2026)
Climate forecasts project change not only in the mean of climate variables but also in their variance. If these dual changes interact, then future ecological dynamics will be difficult to predict using current experimental approaches, which typically change the mean or impose a single extreme event, such as drought. We designed a new field experiment to factorially reduce mean precipitation and increase its interannual variability. Across 4 years, drier, more variable precipitation additively reduced aboveground primary productivity by 48%–69% and interactively reduced the dominant plant species, but had no effect on the plant species predicted to dominate in the future, which could lead to state transition. Drier, more variable precipitation also interactively reduced biodiversity more than either climate factor alone, with 37%–42% fewer plant species than under ambient conditions, a pattern that matched declining richness during the past 20 years of ongoing climate change. Drier, more variable precipitation restructured the composition and spatiotemporal variation of the plant community. Altered precipitation mean or variance affected 14% of plant species, with eight species sensitive to the mean × variance interaction. Results suggest that future forecasts of plant community structure may be inadequate if they fail to incorporate climate mean × variance interactions.

Sex and APOE genotype specific brain regional vulnerability to Alzheimer's Disease - Qi Zeng; Minghui Wang; Erming Wang; Xianxiao Zhou; Peng Xu; Vahram Haroutunian; Dongming Cai; Bin Zhang; Michael Weiner; Paul Aisen; Ronald Petersen; Clifford R. Jack; et al. (GeroScience, 2026)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI), and regional vulnerability was assessed with a composite vulnerability score (CVS) derived from associations between diffusion features and AD severity across clinical traits in each of the four sex-APOE groups (female or male, with or without APOE4). Brain parcellation with the Eve atlas revealed regions consistently affected across sex-APOE groups (e.g., parahippocampal and superior temporal gyri) and regions specific to individual groups (e.g., the cingulum in females with APOE4 and the middle frontal gyrus in males without APOE4). Gene co-expression network analysis of the matched blood expression data identified gene subnetworks linked to group-specific regional vulnerability, including a muscle tissue morphogenesis module regulated by NEURL1B and HIST1H2BN associated with middle frontal gyrus vulnerability. These findings demonstrate that sex and APOE genotype jointly shape region-specific WM vulnerability and its molecular signatures in AD. Understanding these interactions provides novel mechanistic insights and may inform precision approaches to drug development, biomarker discovery, and clinical trial design for AD.

Lentipes ptasan , a new species of sicydiine goby (Teleostei: Gobioidei) from the Western Pacific, with a redescription of L. mindanaoensis - Wei‐Cheng Jhuang; Cleto L. Nañola; Xiao Fei Li; Te‐Yu Liao (Journal of Fish Biology, 2026)
Lentipes ptasan sp. nov. is described based on specimens collected from Taiwan and Mindanao Island. It is a large‐sized Lentipes species distinguished by several male‐specific characteristics, including an upper lip protruding beyond snout obviously, fewer premaxillary tricuspid teeth, two black lines running from the front of the eye through the nostrils to the tip of the snout, a wide brown longitudinal band at the base of the anal fin, and the distinctive nuptial coloration featuring a brown vertical band extending from back to belly on the middle of the body. The complex distribution of Lentipes species and their genetic differentiation may be influenced by sexual selection, historical biogeographic events and contemporary ecological processes. However, due to the recent divergence of Lentipes species, 11 out of 14 species could not be distinguished by the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene. Furthermore, Lentipes mindanaoensis is redescribed, with L. adelphizonus treated as its junior synonym.

A global meta‐analysis of ecological functions and regulating ecosystem services of freshwater bivalves - Alexandra Zieritz; Joshua I. Brian; Ronaldo Sousa; David C. Aldridge; Carla L. Atkinson; Karel Douda; Caryn Vaughn; Yulia Bespalaya; Tabitha Richmond; Adam M. Ćmiel; Alma Crisp; Andreas H. Dobler; et al. (Limnology and Oceanography, 2025)
Freshwater bivalves are globally distributed, diverse, and common in benthic communities. Many taxa, particularly in the most species‐rich order, Unionida, are declining due to anthropogenic stressors, while a small number of non‐native species have become increasingly abundant and widespread, commonly replacing native bivalve assemblages. To understand how these global changes may impact ecosystems and people, we conducted a meta‐analysis of existing literature quantifying the ecological functions (= supporting or intermediate ecosystem services) and regulating ecosystem services of freshwater bivalves (hereafter “ecosystem services”). Random effects meta‐analysis modeling across 447 case studies revealed a positive effect on human health, safety, or comfort of freshwater bivalve ecosystem services overall and specifically, via effects on native macrofauna, microorganisms, wastes, and pollutants, and the physico‐chemical condition or quantity of sediments. Generally, effects of native species and species within the orders Unionida and Venerida were more significant and positive than those of other freshwater bivalves. No significant overall effect was found for ecosystem services related to zooplankton, algae, invasive species, and the physico‐chemical condition of ambient water. Moreover, a significant bias toward publication of positive results existed for studies quantifying ecosystem services related to algae. These findings illustrate the global importance of the ecosystem services of freshwater bivalves and highlight the need for large‐scale conservation and restoration efforts for their species and populations globally, including those of common species. Our findings also question common assumptions of strong and ubiquitous effects of freshwater bivalves on algae and water condition, cautioning against extrapolating observations across systems.

Innovation in apatite Lu-Hf geochronology opens new opportunity for copper systems in southern Australia during the Nuna destruction - Jie Yu; Martin Hand; Justin L. Payne; Laura J. Morrissey; Alexander Simpson; Stijn Glorie; Yan-Jing Chen (Mineralium Deposita, 2025)
Precambrian iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) systems have commonly experienced multiple mineralising and tectonothermal events and identifying their timing and geodynamic framework is challenging. World-class IOCG deposits in the Olympic Cu-Au Province, South Australia, are dominated by hematite and formed in the upper crust, while the magnetite-dominated Cu deposits hosted in granulite facies rocks are considered to represent the deeper expression of giant IOCG system. However, the application of novel in-situ Lu-Hf apatite geochronology reveals the magnetite-hosted Cu mineralisation is significantly younger and unrelated to the well-known ~ 1590 Ma Gawler Craton IOCG systems. Apatite Lu-Hf ages from the granulite that predates Cu mineralisation give ages of 1490 Ma. Infiltration of Cu-bearing fluids resulted in recrystallisation of apatite, LREE mobilisation and formation of secondary monazite. Lu-Hf ages for syn-mineralisation apatite give 1460 Ma, consistent with c. 1460 Ma U-Pb ages from secondary monazite. In contrast to the apatite in situ Lu-Hf ages, all apatite types produce a single U-Pb age of c. 1460 Ma, demonstrating the ability of Lu-Hf to preserve a more complete history of apatite formation than U-Pb in high- to medium-temperature rock systems. The timing of mineralisation coincides with the onset of Nuna fragmentation, representing a previously unrecognised driver for mineral system formation in southern Australia that installed Cu in crust previously dehydrated during a long history of granulite-grade tectonic events. The recognition of this Cu system in rocks generally considered unprospective shows that continental breakup can rejuvenate metallic systems in otherwise unprospective crust.

Extreme Drought Decreases the Stability of Above‐ but Not Below‐Ground Productivity Across Eurasian Steppes - Yingjie Yan; Chong Xu; Yann Hautier; Hongqiang Wang; Yuguang Ke; Honghui Wu; Jinsong Wang; Changjin Cheng; Xiaoan Zuo; Wentao Luo; Melinda D. Smith; Alan K. Knapp; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2025)
Ecological stability plays a crucial role in determining the sustainability of ecosystem functioning and nature's contribution to people. Although the disruptive effects of extreme drought on ecosystem structure and functions are widely recognized, their effect on the stability of above‐ and belowground productivity remains understudied. We assessed the effects of drought on ecosystem stability using a 3‐year drought experiment established in six Eurasian steppe grasslands. The treatments imposed included ambient precipitation, chronic drought (66% reduction in precipitation throughout the growing season), and intense drought (complete exclusion of precipitation for two months during the growing season). We found that drought, irrespective of how it was imposed, reduced the stability of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) but had little impact on belowground net primary productivity (BNPP) stability. Reduced ANPP stability under drought was primarily attributed to changes in subordinate species stability, with mean annual precipitation (MAP) and its variability, historical drought frequency, and the aridity index (AI) also influencing responses to extreme drought. In contrast, BNPP stability was not related to any community factor investigated, but it was influenced by MAP variability and AI. Our findings that above‐ and belowground productivity stability in grasslands are differentially sensitive to multi‐year extreme drought under both common (MAP and AI) as well as unique drivers (plant community changes) highlight the complexity of predicting carbon cycle dynamics as hydrological extremes become more severe.

Temporal trends and patterns for early- and late-onset adult liver cancer incidence vary by race/ethnicity, subsite, and histologic type in the United States from 2000 to 2019 - Mei-Chin Hsieh; Kendra L. Ratnapradipa; Laura Rozek; Shengdi Wen; Yu-Wen Chiu; Edward S. Peters (Cancer Causes & Control, 2025)
Purpose To examine incidence trends and patterns for early- and late-onset liver cancer. Methods Liver and intrahepatic bile duct (IBD) cancers diagnosed between 2000 and 2019 were acquired from 22 SEER registries. Variables included early-onset (20–49) vs. late-onset (50+), anatomic subsite, histologic type (hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC] and IBD cholangiocarcinoma [ICC]), sex, and race/ethnicity. Age-standardized incidence rates were calculated using SEER*Stat. Jointpoint regression analysis was employed to estimate the annual percent change (APC) and the average APC (AAPC) with pairwise comparisons for trend by sex and by race/ethnicity stratified by age and subsite. Results Liver cancer incidence decreased among early-onset (AAPC [95% CI] − 2.39 [− 2.74, − 2.07]) but increased among late-onset patients (2.85 [2.71, 3.01]), primarily driven by HCC (3.60 [3.50, 3.71]). IBD incidence increased for both ages with ICC incidence annually increasing 7.92% (6.84, 9.26) for early-onset and 6.32% (5.46, 8.86) for late-onset patients. Early-onset liver cancer displayed comparable trends across racial/ethnic groups; however, late-onset liver cancer showed more variation, particularly among American Indian/Alaska Native/Asian Pacific Islander (AI/AN/API) populations, which experienced a significant decrease in incidence, thereby narrowing the gap with other racial/ethnic groups. For IBD, an identical pattern of early-onset IBD among non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs) compared to Hispanics was showed with coincidence test p = 0.1522, and a parallel pattern was observed among late-onset patients for both sexes ( p = 0.5087). Conclusion Late-onset HCC continues to rise, except for NHB and AI/AN/API, where incidence rates have started to decrease over the past 4–5 years. Early and late-onset ICC incidence continues to increase across all racial/ethnic groups.

Systematics and evolutionary history of raft and nursery‐web spiders (Araneae: Dolomedidae and Pisauridae) - Kuang‐Ping Yu; Ren‐Chung Cheng; Charles R. Haddad; Akio Tanikawa; Brogan L. Pett; Luis N. Piacentini; Ho Yin Yip; Yuya Suzuki; Arnaud Henrard; Christina J. Painting; Cor J. Vink; Eileen A. Hebets; et al. (Zoologica Scripta, 2025)
Pisauridae are a global and heterogeneous assemblage of spider genera with diverse morphologies and lifestyles. So far, the monophyly of Pisauridae and the inclusion of fishing spiders ( Dolomedes ) in this family have not been thoroughly tested. Here, we amend the systematics and classification of these lineages within a UCE phylogenomic framework and through a detailed morphological reappraisal. For estimations of their evolutionary age, we perform and compare outcomes from two divergence estimation approaches, an a posteriori likelihood, and an a priori Bayesian. Phylogenies reject the monophyly of both Pisauridae and Dolomedes : (1) Focal Clade I groups true Pisauridae genera including Pisaura ; (2) Focal Clade II contains Blandinia and is sister to Trechaleidae and Lycosidae; (3) Focal Clade III groups Dolomedes , Megadolomedes , and Ornodolomedes , and is sister to Blandinia , Trechaleidae, and Lycosidae. We therefore propose to delimit Pisauridae by removing Dolomedidae rank resurrected (including Dolomedes , Bradystichus , Megadolomedes , Caledomedes , Mangromedes , Ornodolomedes , and Tasmomedes ) and Blandinia incertae sedis . Likelihood and Bayesian time calibration approaches yield comparable divergence estimations: Pisauridae origin is estimated at 29–40 Ma; Blandinia 21–34 Ma; Dolomedidae 10–17 Ma; Dolomedes 9–16 Ma. Reconstructions suggest that the evolution of terrestrial and web‐building lifestyles from semi‐aquatic ancestors in Pisauridae coincided with cooling and drying climates during the mid‐Miocene, but this was not the case in the few recent cases of terrestrialization in Dolomedes species. This historic reconstruction illustrates how climatic changes, or rapid radiation, can drive lifestyle diversification.

Predicting the progression of MCI and Alzheimer’s disease on structural brain integrity and other features with machine learning - Marthe Mieling; Mushfa Yousuf; Nico Bunzeck; Michael Weiner; Paul Aisen; Ronald Petersen; Clifford R. Jack; William Jagust; Susan Landau; Monica Rivera-Mindt; Leslie M. Shaw; Edward B. Lee; et al. (GeroScience, 2025)
Machine learning (ML) on structural MRI data shows high potential for classifying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression, but the specific contribution of brain regions, demographics, and proteinopathy remains unclear. Using Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) data, we applied an extreme gradient-boosting algorithm and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values to classify cognitively normal (CN) older adults, those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD dementia patients. Features included structural MRI, CSF status, demographics, and genetic data. Analyses comprised one cross-sectional multi-class classification (CN vs. MCI vs. AD dementia, n = 568) and two longitudinal binary-class classifications (CN-to-MCI converters vs. CN stable, n = 92; MCI-to-AD converters vs. MCI stable, n = 378). All classifications achieved 70–77% accuracy and 61–83% precision. Key features were CSF status, hippocampal volume, entorhinal thickness, and amygdala volume, with a clear dissociation: hippocampal properties contributed to the conversion to MCI, while the entorhinal cortex characterized the conversion to AD dementia. The findings highlight explainable, trajectory-specific insights into AD progression.

Compositional complexity of heterogeneous impact glasses in lunar soils: significance and pitfalls - Qian W. L. Zhang; Bin Su; Pierre Lanari; Jia-Hui Liu; Jia-Long Hao; Yu Liu; Liu-Yang Chen; Di Zhang; Jiang-Yan Yuan; Juan Wang; Xian-Hua Li; Qiu-Li Li (Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 2025)
Heterogeneous impact glass beads are abundant in lunar soils and have been extensively used to study the geological processes that shaped the Moon’s surface. In this study, we examine the compositional complexity of three heterogeneous glass beads containing undigested zirconolite and zircon, using EPMA, Nano-SIMS mapping, and SIMS U–Pb isotope analyses. The undigested zircon and zirconolite crystals document three key volcanic events in the lunar history: at ~ 4.31 Ga the formation of alkali-suite rocks from the highlands, and at ~ 3.92 Ga, and ~ 2.04 Ga mare basalts, indicating that the U–Pb system in these zirconium-bearing crystals remains undisturbed during the ultra-high-temperature, short-duration impact melting events. EPMA and Nano-SIMS mapping reveal significant compositional inhomogeneity in the glass matrices, which complicates accurate provenance determination based on in-situ analysis. Bulk composition calculated from quantitative maps, however, provides a more reliable reference for inferring the origins of these beads. The high proportions of common Pb in the heterogeneous glass matrices, originating from diffusion-controlled processes during partial melting of impact involved minerals, introduce substantial uncertainties in U–Pb dating, complicating the interpretation of impact event ages. These findings highlight the challenges of U–Pb dating in heterogeneous glass beads and provide new insights into the preservation of pristine age information in lunar impact materials.

SenSkin™: a human skin-specific cellular senescence gene set - Saranya P. Wyles; Grace T. Yu; Clarisse Ganier; Tamar Tchkonia; Magnus D. Lynch; George A. Kuchel; James L. Kirkland (GeroScience, 2025)
Cellular senescence gene sets have been leveraged to overcome the inadequate sensitivity or specificity of single markers. However, growing evidence of heterogeneity among tissues in senescent cell phenotypes and gene expression profiles has highlighted the need for tissue-specific gene sets. SenSkin™ was curated by an expert review of literature on cellular senescence in the skin and characterized with pathway analysis. To validate SenSkin™, it was evaluated for enrichment with chronological aging in a bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) dataset and a pseudobulk RNA-seq dataset. Further, changes to SenSkin™ in different skin cell types with photoaging were evaluated in two single-cell RNA-seq datasets. SenSkin™ predominantly included genes related to the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which were associated with metabolism and multiple aspects of immune responses. SenSkin™ was more enriched in chronologically aged skin than other commonly used cellular senescence and aging gene sets. In scRNA-seq, SenSkin™ displayed significant upregulation due to photoaging in ten skin cell types. In conclusion, SenSkin™ is a human skin-specific senescence gene set validated in chronological aging and photoaging, which may be more effective at detecting senescent cells in the skin than non-tissue-specific gene sets.

Grassland bud and shoot demographic responses to single and recurrent droughts vary across an aridity gradient - Niwu Te; Robert J. Griffin‐Nolan; Ingrid J.

Clonal demographic traits play important roles in regulating community dynamics. Yet, it remains unclear how the responses of these clonal traits to drought might depend on previous drought exposure, and how drought responses vary among grasslands. We conducted a repeated drought experiment across four grasslands along an aridity gradient in northern China. We assessed the effects of single (precipitation reduction in 2021–2022) versus recurrent (precipitation reduction in 2015–2018 and 2021–2022) drought on bud density, shoot density, and the ratio of bud to shoot density. Drought reduced bud density at all grasslands and shoot density at most grasslands. Drought reduced the ratio of bud‐to‐shoot density only in the most arid grasslands. Recurrent drought had larger negative effects than a single drought on bud density and composition of bud and shoot at only one of four grasslands, and on shoot density at two of four grasslands. Our results suggest that previous drought exposure can alter the response of plant clonal demographic traits to subsequent drought in some but not all grasslands, and that responses can vary with mean climate.

Adapting ChatGPT for Color Blindness in Medical Education - Jinge Wang; Thomas C. Yu; Michael S. Kolodney; Peter L. Perrotta; Gangqing Hu (Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2025)
Color vision deficiency (CVD) affects a significant portion of the population, yet its impact is often overlooked in medical education, especially in visually demanding specialties like dermatology, pathology, and radiology. In this study, we investigated the potential of ChatGPT to comprehend CVD-simulated images in image-based diagnostic tasks. Notably, the model successfully adapted its diagnostic reasoning to match CVD-modified color perception while preserving high prediction accuracy. These findings highlight the potential of using ChatGPT to foster more inclusive learning environments for individuals with CVD in visually intensive medical specialties.

Ages and Geochemistry of Igneous Rocks in the Northern Sierra Madre‐Caraballo Mountains, Philippines: Implications for Subduction Reconstruction Beneath Northern Luzon - Yikai Yang; Mengming Yu; Graciano P. Yumul; Karlo L. Queaño; Carla B. Dimalanta; Peijun Qiao; Lei Shao (Island Arc, 2025)
Subduction tectonics related to Late Paleogene island‐arc magmatism in Northern Luzon, the Philippines, has been debated for some time. New field data, combined with zircon U–Pb dating and Hf isotopic studies, whole‐rock element and Nd isotopic data from the Caraballo Formation in the Northern Sierra Madre reveal two suites of island‐arc magmatic rocks: (1) ~34 Ma igneous rocks characterized by low‐K 2 O (≤ 0.6 wt.%), low Nb/Yb (0.11–0.26), and high 143 Nd/ 144 Nd (εNd [t] = 9.5–9.9), and (2) ~31 Ma igneous rocks exhibiting progressive enrichments of K 2 O (~0.8 wt.%), Nb/Yb (0.37–0.76), and 143 Nd/ 144 Nd (εNd [t] = 8.2–9.1). These differences reflect a shift in subduction influences, transitioning from slab fluids of an old subducted slab to slab melts with adakitic characteristics of young subducted slab between 34 and 31 Ma. The ~46 Ma Dupax Batholith in the Caraballo Mountains shows similar geochemical and isotopic signatures as the ~34 Ma igneous rocks of the Caraballo Formation (K 2 O: ~0.7 wt.% vs. ≤ 0.6 wt.%; Nb/Yb: 0.24 vs. 0.11–0.26; zircon εHf [t] : 13.8–15.8 vs. 13.7–15.7). This suggests a similar mantle source and subduction influx in both cases. When considered in conjunction with available geochronological and geochemical data from the Northern Sierra Madre, the Caraballo Mountains, and the Central Cordillera, this suggests that arc growth of Northern Luzon may have started as early as the Middle Eocene. The eastern and western ranges of Northern Luzon comprised the Proto‐Luzon Arc before the intra‐arc rifting started in the Late Oligocene–Early Miocene. Unlike a Neogene cessation of island‐arc magmatism in the Northern Sierra Madre, there was a persistent arc growth in the Central Cordillera. It suggests that the Central Cordillera always situated in the frontal arc while the Northern Sierra Madre evolved from a Late Paleogene back arc to a Neogene remnant arc. This supports a continuously east‐dipping subduction along the western plate boundary of Northern Luzon. We conclude that the change of subduction influence in the Northern Luzon Arc during the Middle Eocene to Early Oligocene is linked to the migration of the subducted slab from the Mesozoic Eastern Neo‐Tethys to the Eocene Celebes at ~31 Ma.

Leaf Dry Matter Content Is Phylogenetically Conserved and Related to Environmental Conditions, Especially Wildfire Activity - Dachuan Dai; Dongli Yu; Wuchao Gao; George L. W. Perry; Adrian M.

Leaf dry matter content (LDMC) is an important determinant of plant flammability. Investigating global patterns of LDMC could provide insights into worldwide plant flammability patterns, informing wildfire management. We characterised global patterns of LDMC across 4074 species from 216 families, revealing that phylogenetic and environmental constraints influence LDMC. LDMC varied across growth forms and taxonomic groups, displaying phylogenetic niche conservatism. Temperature, precipitation, aridity index, soil total nitrogen content and wildfire activity affected LDMC, and the effect of wildfire activity was stronger than other environmental factors across species with postfire regeneration abilities. Such species had higher LDMC, and their LDMC was less phylogenetically conserved and more strongly associated with fire activity. Our results suggest that, although LDMC shows phylogenetic niche conservatism, LDMC is determined by environmental factors, especially wildfire activity. Wildfire has likely acted as a selective pressure towards high LDMC across species that persist through fire using postfire regeneration.

Coastal marine heatwaves in the Santa Barbara Channel: decadal trends and ecological implications - Kit Yu Karen Chan; Li Kui; Adriane M. McDonald; Amelia L. Ritger; Gretchen E. Hofmann (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2024)
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are of increasing concern due to the emerging ecological and socioeconomic impacts on coastal ecosystems. Leveraging the data of the Santa Barbara Coastal Long-Term Ecological Research project, we analyzed the MHW event metrics observed in the kelp forest ecosystem and across Santa Barbara Channel, CA, USA. Not only was there a significant positive trend in the number of MHWs recorded, their duration and intensity were also increasing over time. MHWs were detected year-round, suggesting that marine organisms have exposure risks regardless of their phenology. Exposure at one life history stage could have a legacy effect on the subsequent stages, implying little temporal refuge. In contrast, the coastal mooring data revealed that near-surface and bottom events were not necessarily coupled even at less than 15 m. Such spatial variation in MHWs might provide a temporary refuge for mobile species. These observations also highlight the importance of depth-stratified, long-term coastal monitoring to understand spatio-temporal variation in MHW stress on coastal communities.
