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....

Ecological divergence due to habitat difference plays a prominent role in the formation of new species, but the genetic architecture during ecological speciation and the mechanism underlying phenotypic divergence remain less understood. Two wild ancestors of rice ( Oryza rufipogon and Oryza nivara ) are a progenitor‐derivative species pair with ecological divergence and provide a unique system for studying ecological adaptatio...
