Introduction Procambarus clarkii is an important economic aquatic species, and body color is an important economic trait. However, studies on the regulation of body color in crayfish remains limited. Methods We conducted an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic investigation of the hepatopancreas (H) and endothelia (P) of four color variations of crayfish (N = normal, W = white, R = red-orange, and B = blue) to clarify bod...

The source region of the Yellow River, accounting for over 38% of its total runoff, is a critical catchment area, primarily characterized by alpine grasslands. In 2005, the Maqu land surface processes observational site was established to monitor climate, land surface dynamics, and hydrological variability in this region. Over a 10-year period (2010–19), an extensive observational dataset was compiled, now available to the sci...
