Aim The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) harbours high levels of species diversity and endemism, and multiple out‐of‐QTP dispersal routes have been put forward. However, whether different dispersal directions out of the QTP resulted in contrasting evolutionary trajectories remains unknown. Here, we use the sister genera Calathodes and Trollius (Ranunculaceae) as an ideal model to investigate the out‐of‐QTP diversification patterns....

The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata , are economically vital in Asia, but little is known about their genetic origins and how the species will be affected by future...

Chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection continues to pose a major global health challenge, with an estimated 39.9 M cases and 1.3 M new infections per year. Up to 75%, of people with HIV (PWH) are currently being treated with antiretroviral therapy. The development of effective treatments for HIV requires a detailed understanding of the virus-host interaction. Often, mathematical models are used to inform this und...

Subclinical atrial fibrillation (SCAF), also known as atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs), refers to asymptomatic heart rate elevations associated with increased risks of atrial fibrillation and cardiovascular events. Although deep learning (DL) models leveraging echocardiographic images from ultrasound are widely used for cardiac function analysis, their application to AHRE prediction remains unexplored. This study introduces a...

Biotic interactions in marine ecosystems can create visible patterns on the benthos. An archetypal example of such a pattern is the conspicuous ‘halos’ (i.e., areas largely cleared of macrophytes) that surround many tropical reefs. While early ecological studies identified the role of herbivores and the predators that feed on them in the formation of halos on Caribbean reefs, recent evidence has highlighted the context-depende...
