Chromosome-level genome sequencing and assembly of the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina myrica by Zhi Dong, Zixuan Xu, Junwei Zhang, Yulong Guo, Qichao Zhang, Lan Pang, Ting Feng, Wenqi Shi, Yifeng Sheng, Jianhua Huang, Jiani Chen

“…By comparing the protein-coding genes of L. myrica with those of other Hymenoptera species, we gained insights into the evolutionary history of parasitoid wasps. This high-quality genome will provide a foundation for future research on the genetic and functional traits of parasitoid wasps, shedding light on the evolutionary dynamics of host-parasite interactions. …”

Increased birth rank of homosexual males: disentangling the older brother effect and sexual antagonism hypothesis by Raymond, Michel, Turek, Daniel, Durand, Valérie, Nila, Sarah, Suryobroto, Bambang, Vadez, Julien, Barthes, Julien, Apostolou, Menelaos, Crochet, Pierre-André

“…Male homosexual orientation remains a Darwinian paradox, as there is no consensus on its evolutionary (ultimate) determinants. One intriguing feature of homosexual men is their higher male birth rank compared to heterosexual men. …”

Revealing the biological features of the axolotl pancreas as a new research model by Hui Ma, Hui Ma, Hui Ma, Guangcong Peng, Yan Hu, Binbin Lu, Binbin Lu, Yiying Zheng, Yingxian Wu, Weimin Feng, Yu Shi, Xiangyu Pan, Li Song, Ina Stützer, Yanmei Liu, Jifeng Fei, Jifeng Fei, Jifeng Fei

“…Current animal models, primarily mice and zebrafish, have limited the exploration of pancreatic biology from an evolutionary-developmental perspective. Tetrapod vertebrate axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) serves as a valuable model in developmental, regenerative, and evolutionary biology. …”

Optimization and Rule Analysis of Drawdown Level before Flood Season of Longtan Hydropower Station by LIU Yongqi, HOU Guibing, GAO Weishan, LI Yuanyuan, WANG Baohua, LI Peng

“…Longtan Hydropower Station is the controlled reservoir of the Hongshui River.It is of significance for flood control,water supply,and power safety to study the optimal drawdown level before flood seasons in this station.Based on analyzing the drawdown level and operation requirements of Longtan Hydropower Station,this paper develops an operation model for the optimal drawdown of the station and solves the model efficiently by the evolutionary algorithm.Then,the optimization rule of the drawdown level in Longtan Hydropower Station is analyzed in depth and derived based on the multi-year optimal operation scheme set.The results show that the multi-year average power generation efficiency of cascade reservoirs can be significantly improved by optimizing the drawdown level process before flood seasons in Longtan Hydropower Station.Additionally,the derived operation rule can provide technical support for actual operations.…”

Ritual, teatro y performance en un culto al niño dios y al diablo. Las pastorelas de la región purépecha, Michoacán (México) by Elizabeth Araiza

“…Describing a specific case and putting various pastorelas staged by P’urhépechas into comparative perspective allows us to demonstrate that this event combines theater and ritual without one superimposing itself on the other or preceding it in an evolutionary sense (as in « from ritual to theater »). …”

The surplus approach to rent by Franklin Obeng-Odoom

“…However, whether neoclassical, Marxist, or Proudhonist, they tend to neglect evolutionary institutionalist theorising. Increasingly dominated by the income approach, rent theories need to be expanded, partly to correct existing work, partly to break persistent intellectual monopoly and oligopoly, and particularly to develop institutional theories of rent. …”

Natural and artificial interaction. Symbiotic processes between science, art and design by Federica Dal Falco, Rosanna Veneziano, Michela Carlomagno

“… The contribution will focus on how the concept of ‘living’ in the contemporary vision of design, with regard to vegetation, influences design culture, a concept constantly faced with the environmental context through practices of imitation of the logic of natural world interpretation of its evolutionary dynamics, the transformation of its elements and, more recently, with activities that investigate the fragile relationship and coexistence with man, to raise awareness of conscious behaviour. …”
