Reduction in thermal plasticity of life history traits in response to cold selection: an experimental evolution study using Drosophila melanogaster by Rishav Roy, Rishav Roy, Aradhya Chattopadhyay, Sreebes Deb Sharma, Aharna Mondal, Payel Biswas, Payel Biswas, Shampa M. Ghosh

“…IntroductionHow selection influences phenotypic plasticity is an important question in evolutionary biology. We report an experimental evolution study that examined how prolonged selection at cold vs. warm temperature impacts the thermal plasticity of traits like reproductive output, body size, and body water content in Drosophila melanogaster.MethodsWe conducted the study on two sets of large, outbred fly populations: one maintained at the standard fly rearing temperature, i.e., 25°C, and another selected at cold temperature, i.e., 17°C, for 3.5 years. …”

Spatiotemporal evolution and trend prediction of coupled coordination between digital technology and manufacturing green transformation from provinces in China by Xin Huang, Xin Huang, Hongbing Deng, Hongbing Deng

“…Based on this, this paper adopts the coupling coordination model, kernel density estimation, Dagum Gini coefficient decomposition, and spatial autocorrelation to conduct a spatiotemporal evolution analysis of the coupling coordination degree (the D‐G system) of digital technology and MGT in 30 provinces (municipalities, autonomous regions) of mainland China from 2011 to 2020, and adopting the spatial Markov chain to predict its evolutionary trend. The key findings of the study are as follows: (1) Digital technology and MGT have been progressing steadily in China, with continuous improvements in the level of development; (2) The degree of coupling coordination has shown consistent growth over the years, yet the distribution remains relatively uneven, exhibiting a “trapezoidal” spatial pattern with higher values in the eastern regions and lower values in the western regions; (3) Regional differences play a crucial role in the overall differences of the D-G system; and (4) The traditional Markov chain results show that the probability of the D‐G system maintaining the original state stage in the future is greater than 88.67%. …”
