Integrating morphology, phylogeny, substrate, and distribution: clarifying the major phylogenetic framework of Pluteus sect. Hispidoderma (Agaricales, Pluteaceae) and describing 18... by Zheng-Xiang Qi, Li-Bo Wang, Ke-Qing Qian, Li-Li Shi, Jia-Jun Hu, Yong-Lan Tuo, Gu Rao, Muharagi Samwel Jacob, Rui-Peng Liu, Ming-Hao Liu, Di-Zhe Guo, Ya-Jie Liu, Bo Zhang, Xiao Li, Yu Li

“…We subsequently identified several important morphological features and correlated them with phylogenetic relationships to reveal shared characteristics among species within each evolutionary clade. Building on this framework, we constructed phylogenetic trees using three datasets (ITS, tef1 and a combined ITS+tef1) to analyze the phylogenetic structure and species relationships within each clade and lineage. …”

A segmented differential evolution with enhanced diversity and semi-adaptive parameter control by Huarong Xu, Zhiyu Zhang, Qianwei Deng, Shengke Lin

“…This paper introduces a novel multi-stage semi-adaptive DE algorithm with enhanced diversity (MSA-DE), offering several key contributions: first, the algorithm is structured into three distinct stages, each employing a unique new mutation strategy and designed a new evolutionary scheme based on this segmentation, to better balance exploration and development at all stages of the process. …”

Neurobiological emergentism: sentience as an emergent process and the experiential gap by Todd E. Feinberg

“…I propose a model in which the emergence of sentience occurs roughly in three stages: Emergent Stage 1 (ES1) single-celled sensing organisms without neurons or nervous systems that appeared approximately 3.5–3.4 billion years ago and are non-sentient; Emergent Stage 2 (ES2) presentient animals that appeared approximately 570 million years ago (mya) that have neurons and simple nervous systems and fall between ES1 and ES3 animals; and Emergent stage 3 (ES3) sentient animals that emerged along diverse evolutionary lines during the Cambrian period approximately 560–520 mya, a group that includes all vertebrates (fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals), arthropods (insects and crabs), onychophorans (velvet worms) and cephalopods such as the octopus and squid that possess neurobiologically complex central nervous systems. …”

Evolution of an agriculture-associated disease causing Campylobacter coli clade: evidence from national surveillance data in Scotland. by Samuel K Sheppard, John F Dallas, Daniel J Wilson, Norval J C Strachan, Noel D McCarthy, Keith A Jolley, Frances M Colles, Ovidiu Rotariu, Iain D Ogden, Ken J Forbes, Martin C J Maiden

“…Using multilocus sequence type (MLST) data of 7 housekeeping genes from a national survey of Campylobacter in Scotland (2005/6), and a combined population genetic-phylogenetics approach, we investigated the evolutionary history of C. coli. Genealogical reconstruction of isolates from clinical infection, farm animals and the environment, revealed a three-clade genetic structure. …”

Buzzing towards Resilience: Investigating the Spatial Alignment of the Desert Pallid Bee, <i>Centris pallida</i>, and Its Host Plants in Response to Climate Change by Terese Maxine P. Cruz, Stephen L. Buchmann, Kathleen L. Prudic

“…Here, we used MaxEnt to estimate the current and forecasted overlapping geographically suitable habitat of <i>C. pallida</i> with all three host plants. We forecasted potential environmentally suitable areas for each species to the year 2040 using the current distribution model and climate projections with moderate CO₂ levels. …”

Genetic and codon usage analyses reveal the evolution of the seoul virus by Yamei Wei, Yamei Wei, Yanan Cai, Yanan Cai, Xu Han, Zhanying Han, Yanbo Zhang, Yonggang Xu, Caixiao Jiang, Qi Li, Qi Li

“…Recombination events were identified during evolution, alongside purifying and positive selection on specific sites (e.g., codon 259 in the S segment and codon 11 in the M segment). The three viral segments (L, M, and S) exhibited weak codon usage bias, predominantly driven by natural selection, with host adaptation significantly influencing evolutionary trajectories. …”
