Cryptic species and hybridisation in corals: challenges and opportunities for conservation and restoration by Riginos, Cynthia, Popovic, Iva, Meziere, Zoe, Garcia, Vhon, Byrne, Ilha, Howitt, Samantha M., Ishida, Hisatake, Bairos-Novak, Kevin, Humanes, Adriana, Scharfenstein, Hugo, Richards, Thomas, Briggs, Ethan, Clark, Vanessa, Lei, Chuan, Khan, Mariam, Prata, Katharine E.

“…Here, we investigate the prevalence of cryptic coral groups and assess evidence for their permeability to gene flow (hybridisation) via a structured literature review of genomic studies. Using reproducible criteria to detect distinct genetic groups that are sympatric, we find that 68% of nominal species represented in population genomic studies show evidence for comprising partially reproductively isolated groups and that these distinct groups are often linked by gene flow. …”

A UV to X-Ray View of Soft Excess in Type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei. I. Sample Selection and Spectral Profile by Shi-Jiang Chen, Jun-Xian Wang, Jia-Lai Kang, Wen-Yong Kang, Hao Sou, Teng Liu, Zhen-Yi Cai, Zhen-Bo Su

“…Remarkably, we show with simulations that a toy hybrid scenario, where both ionized disk reflection ( relxilllp , with all reflection parameters fixed at default values except for ionization of the disk) and warm corona ( compTT , with temperature fixed at 1 keV) contribute to the observed soft excess, can successfully reproduce the observed correlation. This highlights the ubiquitous hybrid nature of the SE in AGNs, and underscores the importance of considering both components while fitting the spectra of soft excess.…”

Interior and Gravity Field Models for Uranus Suggest a Mixed-composition Interior: Implications for the Uranus Orbiter and Probe by Zifan Lin, Sara Seager, Benjamin P. Weiss

“…Empirical models, which have smooth density profiles that require extensive mixing, can reproduce the Voyager 2 measurements. Distinct-layer models with mantles composed of H _2 O–H/He or H _2 O–CH _4 –NH _3 mixtures are consistent with the Voyager 2 measurements if the heavy element mass fraction, Z , in the mantle ≲85%, or if atmospheric Z ≳ 25%. …”
