Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction? - Nick A. Cutler; Doreen Yu‐Tuan Huang; Richard T. Streeter; Andrew J. Dugmore (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2026)
Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts ( sed aDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sed aDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils. The study of soils from wet, temperate locations has been limited due to uncertainties surrounding the longevity and mobility of DNA in these environments. We addressed this knowledge gap with a novel field experiment that (i) tracked the movement and longevity of ‘exotic’ DNA applied to a wet, temperate soil and (ii) compared extant plant community structure with recent (decades old) environmental DNA (eDNA) data extracted from shallow ( sed aDNA would be suitable as a palaeo‐proxy for vegetation in similar settings, albeit restricted to the most abundant taxa. Further work in more taxonomically and structurally diverse settings, preferably with different soil types, would be required to establish the broader use of soil sed aDNA as a palaeoecological proxy in wet, temperate soils.

Fungal pathogens pose a serious threat to the cultivation of morels ( Morchella spp.), impacting both yield and quality and, consequently, the economic viability of morel farming. This review explores the diverse range of fungal pathogens affecting morels, including Albomorchellophila morchellae , Cladobotryum protrusum , Clonostachys aureofulvella , Clonostachys rosea , Cylindrodendrum alicantinum , Diploöspora longispora , Fusarium equiseti , Lecanicillium aphanocladii , Luteonectria nematophila , Pseudodiploöspora longispora , Purpureocillium lilacinum , and Trichothecium roseum , elucidating their life cycles and the damage they cause. The review also highlights existing management strategies, encompassing cultural practices, biological control, chemical control, and the cultivation of resistant varieties. Furthermore, it explores recent advancements in mycology, plant pathology, and biotechnology that offer promising avenues for improved disease management. These include improved diagnostics, precision agriculture, predictive modeling, genome editing, natural biocontrol agents, and organic fungicides. The review concludes with insights into future research directions aimed at combining and refining these strategies to ensure sustainable, profitable morel cultivation. While challenges such as technical requirements, ethical considerations, and acceptance by farmers and consumers remain, the potential benefits to the industry and global food security make this a pressing and rewarding field of study.

Transformative potential of digital systems for promoting human-wildlife coexistence: A systematic literature review - Bas S. H. T. Michielsen; Gerard Schouten; Joris P. G. Cromsigt; Remco C. Veltkamp; Irma Arts; Jitse Bijlmakers; Magali Frauendorf; Tim R. Hofmeester; Amy Newsom; Minh-Xuân A. Truong; Helen Verploegen; Els Weinans; et al. (Ambio, 2026)
Digital technology plays an increasingly important role in wildlife management and conservation, by enhancing monitoring capabilities and reshaping human-wildlife interactions. However, the transformative potential of these digital solutions for coexistence remains unclear. This paper presents a novel framework to assess the transformative potential of digital systems in wildlife management and conservation, focusing on two key factors: Digital Maturity, which evaluates technical sophistication of digital systems, and Systemic Depth, which measures their capacity for enabling lasting change. We used this framework to evaluate 524 studies in a systematic literature review in wildlife management and conservation, and found that although sometimes higher Digital Maturity or Systemic Depth was achieved, overall the transformative potential of applied digital systems was still low. Studies that scored high emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, adaptability, data sharing, and technologies such as machine learning. This research highlights achieving transformative potential requires a holistic approach integrating ecological, social, and technological perspectives.

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

Sex-specific associations of low-level urinary albumin-creatinine ratio with mortality and adverse cardiac events in older adults - Cammie Tran; Rowan G. Walker; Hans G. Schneider; Que T. Lam; Chenglong Yu; Zhen Zhou; Flavia Cicuttini; Sultana Monira Hussain; Paul Lacaze; John J. McNeil (GeroScience, 2026)
Albuminuria is traditionally defined using fixed urinary albumin–creatinine ratio (UACR) thresholds, although cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk has been reported to increase continuously across the UACR spectrum. Whether these associations are present in healthy older adults and differ by sex remains unclear. We examined sex-specific associations between low-level UACR, mortality, and cardiovascular outcomes in older adults with preserved kidney function. From the ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) study, we included 5396 males and 6305 females aged ≥ 70 years with baseline UACR and eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ). Sex-stratified Cox models examined associations between UACR quintiles (Q) and mortality, CVD, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and stroke, using Q1 as reference. Over a median follow-up of 8.3–8.6 years, increasing UACR was associated with progressively higher risk of all-cause mortality in both sexes, despite most values being below the guideline thresholds. Mortality risk reached statistical significance for males from Q4 (HR 1.45; 95% CI 1.18–1.77) and females from Q2 (HR 1.33; 95% CI 1.04–1.71). Males also had a statistically significant increase in CVD from Q4 (HR 1.32; 95% CI 1.03–1.70) and MACE and stroke in Q5 (HR 1.61; 95% CI 1.25–2.07 and HR 1.96; 95%CI 1.38–1.78). Despite an increasing trend in females, adverse cardiovascular outcomes did not reach significance. UACR levels below guideline thresholds were associated with all-cause mortality in both sexes, with increased cardiovascular disease predominately observed in men. These findings support a continuous relationship between UACR and risk and suggest that even low-level albuminuria may have prognostic significance in healthy older adults.

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.

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.

A novel approach to balancing stakeholder interests in construction waste landfill charges for advancing a circular economy - B. Yu; S. Zhang; Y. Yang; K. S. Woon; C. T. Lee; J. Wang; Y. Su; Z. Bao (International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2026)
Landfill charging schemes effectively reduce construction and demolition waste (C&DW) sent to landfills, advancing the global circular economy. Their success, however, depends on scientifically sound charging standards. Current methods for setting landfill charges largely rely on waste generators’ willingness to pay, with little consideration for landfill operators’ interests. To address this gap, this study proposes a novel, stakeholder-inclusive approach to develop waste landfill charging standards. Distinct from methods centered on willingness to pay, this approach integrates both generators’ cost considerations and operators’ revenue needs, alongside market realities (e.g., costs of alternative disposal facilities, transportation expenses). It comprises four progressive steps: (1) identifying the generation area and specific locations of the C&DW to be landfilled; (2) calculating the total disposal costs at alternative facilities; (3) estimating transportation costs from waste sources to the target landfill; (4) determining the final charging standard by balancing cost-efficiency for generators and operational sustainability for operators. Validated through a case study of the Litoushan Landfill in Shenzhen, China, the approach yielded an optimal charging standard ranging from CNY 106 to CNY 112/m 3 . This method provides a valuable, and actionable reference for policymakers worldwide to establish evidence-based C&DW landfill charging standards, strengthening waste management practices globally. Additionally, its adaptable framework can be extended to determine charging standards for other waste types (e.g., municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste), further supporting the global transition to a circular economy.

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.

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.

Whole Mitochondrial Genome Analysis of Killer Whales Reveals the Presence of Resident and Transient Ecotypes Around Hokkaido - Momoka Suzuki; Mami Kawai; Takashi Hayakawa; Yuki F. Kita; Yu Sato; Miho Inoue‐Murayama; Akira Shiozaki; Shin Nishida; Shimpei F. Hiruta; Hiroshi Ohizumi; Fumio Nakahara; Shigeo Saino; et al. (Marine Mammal Science, 2026)
In the North Pacific, there are at least three genetically different ecotypes of killer whales ( Orcinus orca ), referred to as resident, offshore, and transient. A previous study suggested that killer whales around Hokkaido belong to fish‐eating (resident and/or offshore ecotypes) and mammal‐eating (transient ecotype) groups. These results were supported by haplotypes based on the combination of 1193 bp of cytochrome b and 420 bp of the control region in mitochondrial genomes. However, this analysis was not sufficient to discriminate between resident and offshore ecotypes because of the short sequence lengths. In this study, we analyzed whole mitochondrial genomes of 25 killer whales sampled around Hokkaido to clarify the ecotypes and mitochondrial genome haplotypes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of resident and transient ecotypes around Hokkaido. The whales identified as residents shared an identical haplotype, which is the most common haplotype in the western North Pacific. In contrast, the transients around Hokkaido exhibited eight haplotypes, including seven novel ones among the 19 individuals, and their haplotype richness was the highest among the North Pacific populations. This result suggests that the Hokkaido coast served as a refugium for transient killer whales during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Revisiting the Anti-Drug Antibody Assay Drug Tolerance of a Commercial Biological Product - James Zanghi; Nancy Yu; Benjamin T. Andrews; Phyllis Chan; Maxime Usdin; Cecilia Chiu; WeiYu Lin; Alyse Lin; Yuan Song (The AAPS Journal, 2025)
Drug tolerance (DT) is a critical attribute of anti-drug antibody (ADA) assays for assessing clinical immunogenicity. We present a unique situation where a previously approved commercial product, atezolizumab, required re-assessment of the assay DT to meet an increased drug exposure demand arising from a new route of administration (subcutaneous) and align with updated health authority (HA) regulations. Rather than redevelop the existing ADA assay, which could disrupt ongoing clinical trials, we identified a new anti-idiotype (anti-ID) antibody surrogate that demonstrated that the assay maintained adequate DT for the new route of administration. This streamlined approach addressed concerns regarding higher serum trough concentrations with subcutaneous administration and stricter sensitivity expectations. We established a target DT concentration based on population pharmacokinetic modeling to ensure adequate ADA characterization at steady state. This case study highlights the value of having alternative surrogate ADAs and demonstrates that achieving stringent DT requirements can be accomplished without extensive method redevelopment. We also introduce the broader implications of surrogate ADA selection, binding kinetics, and the clinical relevance of achieving high DT in the context of atezolizumab's efficacy and safety profile. This work also emphasizes the importance of considering bioanalytical assay characteristics, such as DT, throughout a product’s lifecycle. Graphical Abstract

Evaluating the Impact of Oceanographic Field Variability on Atlantic Mackerel Distribution Within Russian Fishing Grounds in the Northern Norwegian Sea - M. A. Lebedeva; M. V. Budyansky; M. Yu. Uleysky; P. A. Fayman; A. A. Didov; T. V. Belonenko; D. N. Klochkov (Fisheries Oceanography, 2025)
Based on fishing records from 2015, 2016, and 2020, this study analyzes the dependence of Atlantic mackerel catch distribution by the Russian fleet on oceanographic conditions in the northern part of the Norwegian Sea (north of 68.5° N). Four types of parameters characterizing fronts and frontal zones are considered: the Lagrangian indicator S, describing water dynamics, along with temperature, salinity, and density in the upper ocean layers, which are traditionally used to identify thermohaline fronts. Gradients of these characteristics are calculated based on these parameters, and the distance from fishing locations to the nearest fronts is evaluated. A unified methodology is applied to automatically define frontal zones using a probability distribution function. To eliminate the dependence of statistical analysis results on limited sampling, a comparison with a random sample was conducted. Histogram analysis of actual catches shows that fishing zones are often located 10–15 km from fronts. It was found that the density of the upper ocean layers has the greatest influence on the distribution of Atlantic mackerel fishing aggregations, while temperature fronts also significantly impact the formation of fishing aggregations.

Y. Ma; et al. (Translational Stroke Research, 2025)
Background In patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS), recent evidence has suggested an association between artery-to-artery embolism (AAE) and cortical borderzone (CBZ) infarcts. Methods We recruited patients with 50–99% anterior-circulation sICAS in this cohort. Stroke mechanisms were categorized as isolated parent artery atherosclerosis occluding penetrating artery (PAO), isolated AAE, isolated hypoperfusion, and mixed mechanisms, using two classification systems. In Classification I, the probable stroke mechanisms of internal borderzone and CBZ infarcts were both hypoperfusion, which were respectively hypoperfusion and AAE in Classification II. Other classification criteria were the same. We investigated and compared the predictive values of the two systems in predicting 90-day and 1-year recurrent ischemic stroke in the same territory (SIT). Results Among 145 patients (median age 62 years), 101 (69.7%) were males. We found significant difference in the proportions of baseline stroke mechanisms between these two systems (p < 0.001). Eleven (7.6%) and 19 (13.1%) patients respectively had 90-day or 1-year recurrent SIT. Classification II better predicted the risk of 90-day recurrent SIT than Classification I, when patients were divided into 4 groups according to baseline stroke mechanisms (p = 0.029), or by the presence of hypoperfusion (p < 0.001). The two classification systems had comparable predictive values for 1-year recurrent SIT. Conclusions In medically treated sICAS patients, considering AAE rather than hypoperfusion as the stroke mechanism for CBZ infarcts could better predict early recurrent SITs.

Beyond FITT: addressing density in understanding the dose–response relationships of physical activity with health—an example based on brain health - Fabian Herold; Liye Zou; Paula Theobald; Patrick Manser; Ryan S. Falck; Qian Yu; Teresa Liu-Ambrose; Arthur F. Kramer; Kirk I. Erickson; Boris Cheval; Yanxia Chen; Matthew Heath; et al. (European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2025)
Research on physical activity (PA) and health has a fundamental concern with dose–response relationships. The variables of (1) Frequency, (2) Intensity, (3) Time, and (4) Type (i.e., the FITT principle) have traditionally been used to operationalize the dosage of PA. We consider some limitations of FITT and propose that it can be complemented by the additional variable density (from the German exercise and training variable Belastungsdichte), which can be defined as the timing of successive work bouts within a single PA bout as well as the timing between successive PA bouts within a specific time period; it does so by quantifying the temporal intervals between successive work or PA bouts (i.e., time spent at a lower PA intensity or resting such as in napping/sleeping or sedentary behaviors). Using the field of PA and brain health as an example, we discuss the opportunities and challenges for further research employing the variable density and consider its potential to improve the understanding of dose–response relationships between PA and health outcomes.

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.

Genomic highlights of the phylogenetically unique halophilic purple nonsulfur bacterium, Rhodothalassium salexigens - Michael T. Madigan; Kelly S. Bender; Mary N. Parenteau; Yukihiro Kimura; Zheng-Yu Wang-Otomo; W. Matthew Sattley (Extremophiles, 2025)
Rhodothalassium ( Rts. ) salexigens is a halophilic purple nonsulfur bacterium and the sole species in the genus Rhodothalassium , which is itself the sole genus in the family Rhodothalassiaceae and sole family in the order Rhodothalassiales (class Alphaproteobacteria ). The genome of this phylogenetically unique phototroph comprises 3.35 Mb and is highly chimeric, with nearly half of its genes originating from families other than the Rhodothalassiaceae , many of which lack phototrophic species. Photosynthesis genes in Rts. salexigens are not arranged in a typical photosynthesis gene cluster but are scattered across the genome, suggesting an origin from horizontal transfers. Despite an encoded RuBisCO, autotrophy has not been observed in Rts. salexigens , and enzymes that oxidize common inorganic electron donors are not encoded. Phospholipid biosynthesis in Rts. salexigens is restricted, and phosphoglycerolipids are the only phospholipids present in its intracytoplasmic membranes. Rts. salexigens fixes nitrogen using a Mo-containing nitrogenase and uses ammonia despite previous results that indicated it was a glutamate auxotroph. Glycine betaine is the sole osmolyte in Rts. salexigens , and enzymes are encoded that facilitate both its uptake and its biosynthesis from glycine. The genomic data also support chemotactic swimming motility, growth over a range of salinities, and the production of membrane-strengthening hopanoids.

Uncrewed surface vehicles in the Global Ocean Observing System: a new frontier for observing and monitoring at the air-sea interface - Ruth G. Patterson; Meghan F. Cronin; Sebastiaan Swart; Joana Beja; Johan M. Edholm; Jason McKenna; Jaime B. Palter; Alex Parker; Charles I. Addey; Wieter Boone; Paban Bhuyan; Justin J. H. Buck; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Observing air-sea interactions on a global scale is essential for improving Earth system forecasts. Yet these exchanges are challenging to quantify for a range of reasons, including extreme conditions, vast and remote under-sampled locations, requirements for a multitude of co-located variables, and the high variability of fluxes in space and time. Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs) present a novel solution for measuring these crucial air-sea interactions at a global scale. Powered by renewable energy (e.g., wind and waves for propulsion, solar power for electronics), USVs have provided navigable and persistent observing capabilities over the past decade and a half. In our review of 200 USV datasets and 96 studies, we found USVs have observed a total of 33 variables spanning physical, biogeochemical, biological and ecological processes at the air-sea transition zone. We present a map showing the global proliferation of USV adoption for scientific ocean observing. This review, carried out under the auspices of the ‘Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy’ (OASIS), makes the case for a permanent USV network to complement the mature and emerging networks within the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). The Observations Coordination Group (OCG) overseeing GOOS has identified ten attributes of an in-situ global network. Here, we discuss and evaluate the maturation of the USV network towards meeting these attributes. Our article forms the basis of a roadmap to formalise and guide the global USV community towards a novel and integrated ocean observing frontier.

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.

(Global Change Biology, 2025)
Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a critical strategy to restore ecosystems and enhance biodiversity on post‐agricultural landscapes. However, agricultural legacies, such as altered soil structure, nutrient imbalances, and depleted microbial diversity, can slow down forest establishment or cause ecosystems to deviate from expected successional trajectories. In this opinion paper, we explore the potential of soil inoculations as a tool to overcome these challenges by introducing beneficial microbial communities that can accelerate ecosystem recovery and forest development. Restoring soil biodiversity is a crucial aspect of this process that drives broader ecosystem functionality and resilience. We highlight the need to carefully consider the type and timing of inoculations and to ensure compatibility between the inoculum and recipient site characteristics to optimize the establishment of introduced species. While tree productivity is often a central focus of afforestation efforts, the restoration of soil biodiversity, which will also contribute to increased ecosystem‐level functions, should also be a priority for long‐term forest resilience. Agricultural legacies add complexities to the restoration process, creating unique challenges that need to be addressed in restoration planning. Thus, successful inoculation strategies require a thorough understanding of both donor and recipient site characteristics, also in relation to potential mismatches related to soil physiochemical properties to avoid unintended consequences such as the non‐establishment of introduced species. Additionally, we call for the re‐evaluation of afforestation targets and the development of standardized monitoring protocols that track the success of inoculation efforts, particularly regarding soil health, microbial community establishment, and biodiversity recovery. By integrating inoculation practices within a broader restoration framework, we can enhance the resilience, biodiversity, and ecosystem functionality of newly afforested landscapes. Ultimately, this approach may play a critical role in ensuring the success of large‐scale afforestation projects.

Background Contrast-induced neurotoxicity (CIN) is a recognised complication of endovascular procedures and has been increasingly observed in recent years. Amongst other clinical gaps, the precise incidence of CIN is unclear, particularly following intracranial interventional procedures. Methods A retrospective study of consecutive patients undergoing elective endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) was performed. Patients with previously ruptured aneurysms were excluded. The primary aim of this study was to determine the incidence of CIN following endovascular UIA treatment. Our secondary aim was to isolate potential predictive factors for developing CIN. Results From 2017 to 2023, a total of 158 patients underwent endovascular UIA treatment, with a median age of 64 years (IQR: 54–72), and 70.3% of female sex. Over the study period, the crude incidence of CIN was 2.5% (95% CI: 0.7 – 6.4%). The most common clinical manifestation of CIN was confusion (75%) and seizures (50%). Statistical analysis was conducted, and prolonged procedural duration was found be significantly associated with developing CIN (OR 12.55; p = 0.030). Conclusion Clinicians should be aware of the risk of CIN following endovascular neurointervention, particularly following technically challenging cases resulting in prolonged procedural time.

Differential endothelial cell cycle status in postnatal retinal vessels revealed using a novel PIP-FUCCI reporter and zonation analysis - Ziqing Liu; Natalie T. Tanke; Alexandra Neal; Tianji Yu; Tershona Branch; Arya Sharma; Jean G. Cook; Victoria L. Bautch (Angiogenesis, 2024)
Cell cycle regulation is critical to blood vessel formation and function, but how the endothelial cell cycle integrates with vascular regulation is not well-understood, and available dynamic cell cycle reporters do not precisely distinguish all cell cycle stage transitions in vivo. Here we characterized a recently developed improved cell cycle reporter (PIP-FUCCI) that precisely delineates S phase and the S/G2 transition. Live image analysis of primary endothelial cells revealed predicted temporal changes and well-defined stage transitions. A new inducible mouse cell cycle reporter allele was selectively expressed in postnatal retinal endothelial cells upon Cre-mediated activation and predicted endothelial cell cycle status. We developed a semi-automated zonation program to define endothelial cell cycle status in spatially defined and developmentally distinct retinal areas and found predicted cell cycle stage differences in arteries, veins, and remodeled and angiogenic capillaries. Surprisingly, the predicted dearth of S-phase proliferative tip cells relative to stalk cells at the vascular front was accompanied by an unexpected enrichment for endothelial tip and stalk cells in G2, suggesting G2 stalling as a contribution to tip-cell arrest and dynamics at the front. Thus, this improved reporter precisely defines endothelial cell cycle status in vivo and reveals novel G2 regulation that may contribute to unique aspects of blood vessel network expansion.

Predation on Live and Artificial Insect Prey Shows Different Global Latitudinal Patterns - Elena L. Zvereva; Benjamin Adroit; Tommi Andersson; Craig R. A. Barnett; Sofia Branco; Bastien Castagneyrol; Giancarlo Maria Chiarenza; Wesley Dáttilo; Ek del‐Val; Jan Filip; Jory Griffith; Anna L. Hargreaves; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2024)
Aim Long‐standing theory predicts that the intensity of biotic interactions increases from high to low latitudes. Studies addressing geographic variation in predation on insect prey have often relied on prey models, which lack many characteristics of live prey. Our goals were to explore global latitudinal patterns of predator attack rates on standardised live insect prey and to compare the patterns in predation on live insects with those on plasticine prey models. Location Global forested areas. Time Period 2021–2023. Major Taxa Arthropods, birds. Methods We measured predation rates in 43 forested locations distributed across five continents from 34.1° S to 69.5° N latitude. At each location, we exposed 20 sets of three bait types, one set per tree. Each set included three live fly larvae (maggots), three live fly puparia and three plasticine models of the puparia. We used glue rings to isolate half of the sets from non‐flying predators. Results Arthropod attack rates on plasticine prey decreased linearly from low to high latitudes, whereas attack rates on maggots had a U shaped distribution, with the lowest predation rates at temperate latitudes and the highest rates at tropical and boreal latitudes. This difference emerged from intensive predator attacks on live maggots, but not on plasticine models, in boreal sites. Site‐specific attack rates of arthropod predators on live and plasticine prey were not correlated. In contrast, bird attack rates on live maggots and plasticine models were positively correlated, but did not show significant latitudinal changes. Main Conclusions Latitudinal patterns in predation differ between major groups of predators and between types of prey. Poleward decreases in both arthropod and combined arthropod and bird predation on plasticine models do not mirror patterns of predation on our live prey, the latter likely reflecting real patterns of predation risk better than do patterns of attack on artificial prey.

Fungi are key decomposers of deadwood, but the impact of anthropogenic changes in nutrients and temperature on fungal community and its consequences for wood microbial respiration are not well understood. Here, we examined how nitrogen and phosphorus additions (field experiment) and warming (laboratory experiment) together influence fungal composition and microbial respiration from decomposing wood of angiosperms and gymnosperms in a subtropical forest. Nutrient additions significantly increased wood microbial respiration via fungal composition, but effects varied with nutrient types and taxonomic groups. Specifically, phosphorus addition significantly increased wood microbial respiration (65%) through decreased acid phosphatase activity and increased abundance of fast‐decaying fungi (e.g., white rot), while nitrogen addition marginally increased it (30%). Phosphorus addition caused a greater increase in microbial respiration in gymnosperms than in angiosperms (83.3% vs. 46.9%), which was associated with an increase in Basidiomycota:Ascomycota operational taxonomic unit abundance in gymnosperms but a decrease in angiosperms. The temperature dependencies of microbial respiration were remarkably constant across nutrient levels, consistent with metabolic scaling theory hypotheses. This is because there was no significant interaction between temperature and wood phosphorus availability or fungal composition, or the interaction among the three factors. Our results highlight the key role of tree identity in regulating nutrient response of wood microbial respiration through controlling fungal composition. Given that the range of angiosperm species may expand under climate warming and forest management, our data suggest that expansion will decrease nutrient effects on forest carbon cycling in forests previously dominated by gymnosperm species.
