The interthalamic adhesion (IA) connects both thalami. Emerging research suggests it may support thalamo-cortical connectivity and could be involved in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric conditions. However, inconsistent MRI evaluation hinders progress on this subject. We developed SNAP-IA, a standardized anatomical imaging protocol for consistent IA identification and quantification. This work leveraged the expertise from seven research teams (Toulouse, Santiago, Southampton, Lausanne, Tübingen, and Bordeaux). SNAP-IA includes three steps: (1) determination of IA presence/absence on T1-weighted MRI; (2) classification of IA variants (simple, broad, double, bilobar, and filiform); (3) segmentation-based area assessment. It was tested on 500 controls (20–69 yo) and patients (stroke, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and ADHD) with 0.6–1 mm isotropic T1-weighted MRI (3T to 9.4T). SNAP-IA application achieved high inter-dataset agreement (mean Dice ≈ 0.92), with an average identification time of 35 s. The IA was absent in 22.8% of controls. Simple and broad variants constituted 95% of identified IA while some variants (double, filiform) were observed less frequently. At 3T, females had a higher presence rate (84.4%) than males (69.8%) and a larger IA area. ANCOVA indicated that both age and gender were highly predictive of IA area, decreasing by 0.25 mm²/year. At 9.4T, absence rates were significantly higher (34.6%) than at 3T (18.1%, p = 0.002). Mean IA area did not differ significantly between 3T and 9.4T. Patients with neurodevelopmental or neuropsychiatric disorders had two times less IA presence, with significantly smaller IA. SNAP-IA provides a reliable, reproducible framework for anatomical IA assessment across populations and MRI sequences, enabling future research into its structural and functional roles and supporting automated, large-scale AI studies.

Spatio-temporal analysis of rainfall extremes and drought variability in the Tel basin, Odisha, India, under changing climate - Pushpanjali Kumari; H. P. Singh; Pankaj Dangi; Anoop Kumar Shukla (Innovative Infrastructure Solutions, 2026)
Climate change has significantly influenced temperature and rainfall patterns, disrupting hydrological cycles and increasing extreme weather events. This study analyses spatial and temporal variations in rainfall trends and extreme climatic indices in the Tel Basin, Odisha, India, from 1981 to 2021. Rainfall trends were assessed using the Mann–Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator, while extreme climatic indices were evaluated using the Climpact tool. Drought variability was examined using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), accounting for the role of temperature in drought intensification. The results reveal pronounced spatial heterogeneity in rainfall trends. Monsoon rainfall shows increasing trends (up to 17.48 mm/decade), while pre-monsoon rainfall is declining (up to −2.64 mm/decade). Heavy rainfall events (R20mm, R30mm) are rising, whereas consecutive dry days (CDD) have increased by ~ 5 days/decade and consecutive wet days (CWD) have decreased by ~ 3 days/decade. Drought analysis shows that SPI-6 exhibits a weak increasing trend (Sen’s slope = 0.001), whereas SPEI-6 indicates a stronger drying pattern (Sen’s slope = − 0.005), highlighting the influence of rising temperatures. Temperature extremes, such as TXx (~ 0.02 °C year⁻ 1 ), along with an increase in tropical nights, indicate intensified warming, which enhances evapotranspiration and increases agricultural water stress. The results stress the urgent need for adaptive water resource management, climate-resilient agriculture, and improved irrigation planning in the Tel Basin to combat the growing climate-induced vulnerabilities.

Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile compounds produced by aromatic plants and widely used in personal care, food flavoring, and pharmaceutical industry due to their odor and therapeutic properties. As a high-value and low-volume organic product, optimizing plant yield and modifying composition by leveraging knowledge on chemical profiles of essential oils can lead to enhanced bioproducts. Additionally, overharvesting of wild medicinal plants, especially in India, threatens biodiversity. Essential oil profiles of such plants can help regulate their exploitation. Here, we present sCentInDB, a manually curated FAIR-compliant DataBase of Essential oil Chemical profiles of Medicinal plants of India, compiled from published literature. sCentInDB contains data on 554 Indian medicinal plants at the plant part level, encompassing 2170 essential oil profiles, 3420 chemicals, 471 plant-part-therapeutic use associations, 120 plant-part-odor associations, and 218 plant-part-color associations. sCentInDB also compiles metadata such as sample location, isolation, and analysis methods. Subsequently, an extensive analysis of the chemical space in sCentInDB was performed. By constructing a chemical similarity network, terpenoids were found to be distributed across the network, indicating greater structural diversity. Moreover, a comparison of the scaffold diversity of chemicals in sCentInDB was performed against three other aroma libraries using cyclic system retrieval curves. Altogether, sCentInDB will serve as a valuable resource for researchers working on plant volatiles and employing genetic engineering to enhance oil yield and composition. Further, sCentInDB will aid in the establishment of quality standards for essential oils and provide vital insights for therapeutic and perfumery applications. sCentInDB is accessible at https://cb.imsc.res.in/scentindb/ .

Assessing the Effect of Substitution of Arginine with Homoarginine in Two Antimicrobial Peptides - George Nkrumah Enninful; Rajesh Kuppusamy; Elvis Tiburu; Naresh Kumar; Mark D. P. Willcox (International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 2026)
Purpose Antimicrobial peptides show promise as broad-spectrum agents and are less likely to induce rapid resistance. However, protease sensitivity limits their potential as antibiotic alternatives. Non-canonical amino acid incorporation may enhance stability but could impact other properties. Methods The activities of four peptides (oligoarginine (PLR10), oligohomoarginine (PLHR10), Mel4, and Mel4HArg) were tested against strains of S. aureus , P. aeruginosa and E. coli. Circular dichroism (CD) was used to determine their secondary structure. Their MICs against E. coli and P. aeruginosa were re-examined after protease treatment. Cytotoxicities against L929 cell line were determined. Results MICs for the four AMPs ranged from 31.25 to > 500 µM. Total substitution of arginine with homoarginine had minimal effect on MICs of PLR10, but increased the MICs of Mel4, e.g., against S. aureus ATCC 6538 from 31.25 to > 250 µM. In 30 mM SDS, substitution with homoarginine resulted in the loss of α-helical structures. Trypsin reduced PLR10 activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa but had less effect on PLHR10. At 62.5 µM, PLR10 reduced E. coli growth by 20% compared to 90% for PLHR10. At 125 µM, PLR10 reduced P. aeruginosa growth by 22% compared to 70% for PLHR10. Mel4HArg retained activity against E. coli post-trypsin treatment but not against P. aeruginosa . The IC 50 for PLR10 and PLHR10 (15.625 µM) against L929 cell line was below their MIC (31.25 µM), indicating low therapeutic potential. In contrast, Mel4 and Mel4HArg had IC50 > 500 µM, exceeding Mel4’s MIC for S. aureus (31.25–62.5 µM) and E. coli (125 µM), though not for Mel4HArg’s MIC against P. aeruginosa . Conclusion The total arginine substitution with homoarginine in Mel4 and PLR10 resulted in improved stability but reduced activity in Mel4 and no improvement in cytotoxicity of PLR10, highlighting the need to find balance in optimizing AMP properties.

Global Molecular Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Biogeography of the Clam Genus Corbicula (Bivalvia: Cyrenidae) - Yulia V. Bespalaya; Alexander V. Kropotin; Olga V. Aksenova; Mikhail Yu.

(Zoologica Scripta, 2026)
The Corbicula clams (Bivalvia: Cyrenidae) are an ecologically significant and widespread group of fresh‐ and brackish‐water molluscs, playing a keystone role in aquatic ecosystems. Some species of this genus are subglobal invaders. The taxonomy of Corbicula remains very confusing, which hinders both fundamental and applied research on this genus. A comprehensive revision of the taxonomic structure of this group has been lacking so far. In this paper, we clarify the taxonomy, distribution, and evolutionary biogeography of the living representatives of the genus Corbicula , including species widely distributed in their non‐native ranges, on the basis of the largest dataset of DNA sequences ever analysed. Our data reveal that the genus Corbicula contains two subgenus‐level clades: Corbicula s.s. and Sphaerocorbicula Bolotov, Bespalaya & Aksenova subgen. nov. Our COI mtDNA and two‐locus phylogenies reveal that the genus Corbicula contains not Corbicula bilini Bespalaya, Kropotin, Kondakov, Konopleva & Bolotov sp. nov. (Bilin River, Myanmar) and C. lemroae Bespalaya, Kropotin, Kondakov, Konopleva & Bolotov sp. nov. (Lemro River, Myanmar). A new synonymy is established for five species of Corbicula and one is transferred from the family Sphaeriidae to Cyrenidae. Our fossil‐calibrated phylogeny and generalised biogeographic model indicate that the most recent common ancestor of the genus Corbicula could have originated somewhere within a broad area covering Asia near the upper boundary of the Middle Cretaceous.

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Significance of the Paleoproterozoic Ramgarh Mylonitic Granitoids in the Baijnath Klippe, Kumaun Himalaya: Evidence for Active Continental Margin During Columbia Supercontinent Assembly - Shubham Patel; Mallickarjun Joshi; Alok Kumar; Biraja P. Das; Aman Singh; Aditya Singh (Island Arc, 2026)
Paleoproterozoic granitoids are important rock types all along the Lesser Himalayan belt and provide key constraints for understanding the evolution of the northern Indian continental margin and its position within the Columbia supercontinent assembly. The Paleoproterozoic Ramgarh mylonitic granitoids of the Baijnath klippe in the Inner Kumaun Lesser Himalayan Sequence show pervasive mylonitization, with augen‐shaped porphyroclasts of feldspar and quartz, which characterize the Ramgarh mylonitic granitoids throughout the Lesser Himalaya. We present petrological and whole‐rock geochemical data from the Ramgarh mylonitic granitoids of the Baijnath klippe to evaluate their petrogenesis and geodynamic implications. These monzonitic granitoids are geochemically peraluminous with high K 2 O and MgO along with enrichment in LILE (Rb, K, Pb, and Th) and depletion in Ba, P, Nb, and Ti, along with moderately negative Eu anomalies. Geochemically, the Ramgarh granitoids are classified as I‐type (Igneous arc‐type) granite. Zircon U–Pb geochronology from the Kausani body yields a crystallization age of ~1866 Ma. The granitoids are interpreted to have formed by a high degree of partial melting of underplated lower‐crustal material during the early phase of slab rollback or break‐off of a subducting slab. This magmatic event likely preceded the emplacement of the post‐collisional extensional magmatism, suggesting an evolving subduction–accretion system. The geochemical and geochronological data support an active continental margin setting along the northern Indian plate margin at ~1.8 Ga. This suggests that these oldest granitoids represent a magmatic arc developed in a subduction zone setting during the assembly of the Columbia supercontinent. Later, during the Cenozoic Himalayan orogeny, the granitoids were thrust over the Lesser Himalayan Sequence as nappes and klippen.

Orchidaceae, one of the largest plant families, have been predicted in several analyses to be under a higher level of threat than angiosperms as a whole. Despite this, compared to many other major groups of animals and plants, orchids are under-represented on the Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Since 2000, concerted efforts have led to the number of orchids on the Global Red List increasing from eight to > 2,000 species, but many of these assessments are now outdated, and c. 28,000 species remain to be assessed for the first time. Here we review the current knowledge of the conservation status of orchids based on Red Listing and other methods, including machine learning and EDGE (Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered). At the geographical level, Sub-Saharan Africa is relatively well sampled for the Global Red List, whereas South and Central America and tropical Asia are poorly sampled. With the existing Red List assessments, levels of threat vary widely between tribes and subtribes. Tribes and subtribes with no or low sampling are identified. We discuss the main threats, and we identify climate change and fire as emerging threats, the former due to the potential for disruption of critical associations with pollinators and mycorrhizal fungi.

Cancer treatments are improving, and the population of cancer survivors is steadily increasing. However, many survivors experience long-term side effects, including chemobrain and other age-related geriatric disorders like cognitive impairment (CI), severely impacting their quality of life. Emerging studies suggest that the gut microbiome plays a central role in cognitive health. However, the long-term effects of cancer treatments on the microbiome, and how these changes impact cognitive health in survivors, remain largely unknown. Shotgun metagenomic data from 150 older adults (≥ 60 years old, including 49 cancer survivors and 101 controls) from the Microbiome in Aging Gut and Brain (MiaGB) consortium revealed that Tyzzerella , Eggerthella lenta , and Bacteroides vulgatus were specific markers of the cancer survivor gut and could differentiate cancer survivorship in this cohort. Microbiome signatures were distinct in cancer survivors with CI compared to those without and differed from those seen in non-cancer individuals with CI. Bacterial taxa including Streptococcus thermophilus and Firmicutes bacterium CAG 114 were significantly reduced in cancer survivors and strongly associated with CI. Importantly, metabolic pathway analysis revealed that microbial neurotransmitter synthesis was significantly depleted in the gut of cancer survivors, suggesting a mechanistic link to CI. Our results suggest that microbiome signatures predict cancer survivorship and the risk of CI in older adults, potentially by depleting neurotransmitter synthesis in the gut. These findings aid in establishing the role of the microbiome in predicting cancer survivorship and CI risk, which is valuable in the development of novel therapies to support the growing population of cancer survivors.

Hilsa is a vital transboundary fishery resource in the Bay of Bengal (BoB), holding commercial, ecological, and cultural importance. This study aims to develop a short‐term prediction of Hilsa catch in the northern BoB using a machine learning (ML) model. The prediction technique was developed considering the georeferenced Hilsa catch per unit effort (CPUE) as a function of environmental variables like surface salinity, sea surface temperature (SST), surface current speed, and direction. We employed two advanced ML algorithms, viz., random forest (RF) and 5. (XGBoost) to examine their efficacy in the short‐term prediction of Hilsa for the northern BoB and compared the model performance with a baseline information obtained through multiple linear regression (MLR). Our analysis showed significant improvement in the prediction accuracy using advanced ML techniques where XGBoost again outperformed RF. The root mean square error (RMSE) values between observed and predicted CPUE for RF and XGBoost models were 5.72 and 5.63 kg/h, respectively. The correlation coefficient (r) between the observed and predicted catch were 0.90 and 0.93 for RF and XGBoost, respectively. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis revealed the highest influence (58.38%) of surface current speed on the Hilsa CPUE. We generated the spatial prediction maps of Hilsa CPUE using the best performing (XGBoost) model with 85% prediction efficiency. This study showed the potential of the XGBoost model in developing a short‐term prediction for Hilsa in the northern BoB, towards developing Hilsa fishery advisory for sustainable management of these fishery resources.

The Southern Ocean (SO) is a critical driver of global wave dynamics, generating long-period swells that propagate vast distances and significantly impact far distant coastal regions, including the Indian coastal regions. Climate change has intensified westerly winds and altered storm tracks in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in higher wave heights and longer periods, which in turn increase the risk to coastal regions.​ However, the remote and harsh environment in the SO has historically limited in-situ wave observations, hindering a comprehensive understanding of the wave characteristics in the region. To bridge this gap, the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) launched the Indian Ocean Wave Drifter (IOWD) program in 2021 under the Deep Ocean Mission to address the in-situ data gap in the Southern Indian Ocean. Through the deployment of GPS-enabled directional wave spectra drifters, the program has enabled near-real-time observations of wave characteristics across the SO. This article highlights the early outcomes of the IOWD program, including wave model validation, Stokes drift estimation, and swell tracking. The study emphasizes the importance of sustained in-situ observations from remote oceans for improving wave forecasting, enhancing coastal preparedness, and advancing scientific understanding of wave–current interactions and climate variability in the Indian Ocean region.
