Mechanisms of climate-induced lake dynamics in the Source Region of Three Rivers, Tibetan Plateau by Xiankun Zheng, Sihai Liang, Dezhao Yan, Xingxing Kuang, Li Wan

“…Incorporating precipitation, evapotranspiration, and other factors, we further classified these changes into eight expansion patterns (involving 198 lakes) and four shrinkage patterns (involving 4 lakes), highlighting the diverse response mechanisms of lakes. Additionally, a three-phase evolutionary trend in the spatiotemporal dynamics of lakes was identified, providing a scientific basis for precise water resource regulation and lake ecosystem protection under different future scenarios in the SRTR.…”

Diet-microbiome covariation across three giraffe species in a close-contact zone by Elin Videvall, Brian A. Gill, Michael B. Brown, Hannah K. Hoff, Bethan L. Littleford-Colquhoun, Peter Lokeny, Paul M. Musili, Tyler R. Kartzinel

“…Therefore, we used DNA metabarcoding to compare the diets and gut microbiomes of giraffes, the world’s largest ruminant. We focused on three giraffe species—reticulated, northern, and Masai—that occur along a near-contact zone in equatorial Kenya. …”

Comparative Genomics and Pathogenicity Analysis of Three Fungal Isolates Causing Barnyard Grass Blast by Na Zhang, Xinyang Li, Liangping Ming, Wenda Sun, Xiaofang Xie, Cailing Zhi, Xiaofan Zhou, Yanhua Wen, Zhibin Liang, Yizhen Deng

“…Furthermore, the whole-genome sequence analysis helped to reveal the genetic variations and potential virulence factors relating to the host specificity of these three fungal pathogens. Based on the evolutionary analysis of single-copy orthologous proteins, we found that the genes encoding glycoside hydrolases, carbohydrate esterases, oxidoreductase, and multidrug transporters in SCAU-1 and SCAU-6 were expanded, while expansion in SCAU-2 was mainly related to carbohydrate esterases. …”

Probable developmental, neurological and evolutionary trend in complex morphological structures: foramen magnum outlines analytic comparisons in four orders; Chiroptera: (Eidolon h... by Oluwale Michael Samuel, Olumayowa Olawumi Igado

“…Fit index of original vs reconstructed values with 92%, 96%, 96%, 97% and 98% accuracies confirmed existing evolutionary order. Irrespective of species, the 3rd harmonic demonstrated maximum values of descriptors but the first yielded highest in elliptical magnitude; E. helvum and T. brachyptera were exceptionally erratic revealing FM architectural complexities in them. …”

Analysing protein complexes in plant science: insights and limitation with AlphaFold 3 by Pei-Yu Lin, Shiang-Chin Huang, Kuan-Lin Chen, Yu-Chun Huang, Chia-Yu Liao, Guan-Jun Lin, HueyTyng Lee, Pao-Yang Chen

“…However, limitations persist, including challenges in modelling large complexes, protein dynamics, and structures from underrepresented plant proteins with limited evolutionary data. Additionally, AF3 encounters difficulties in predicting mutation effects on protein interactions and DNA binding, which can be improved with molecular dynamics and experimental validation. …”

Structural Analysis of Inhibitor Binding to Enterovirus-D68 3C Protease by Vincent N. Azzolino, Ala M. Shaqra, Akbar Ali, Nese Kurt Yilmaz, Celia A. Schiffer

“…For other antivirals where resistance has been a challenge, we have demonstrated that the likelihood of resistance can be minimized by designing inhibitors that leverage the evolutionary constraints of the target. Here, we characterize a series of 3C inhibitors against EV68-3C protease through enzyme inhibition, protein crystallography, and structural analysis. …”

Unusual Sperm Morphology in Two Sedentary Songbird Species by Emily R. A. Cramer, Gaute Grønstøl, Phred M. Benham, Carla Cicero, Rauri C. K. Bowie, Daniel J. Tobiansky, Jan T. Lifjeld

“…Within songbirds, the typical filiform sperm has a slender, corkscrew‐shaped head and an elongated midpiece coiled around the flagellum. However, three songbird species are known to have an unusual tadpole‐like sperm morphology with a round or ellipsoid head and short, uncoiled midpiece, which may arise developmentally via neoteny. …”
