    miR-252 targeting temperature receptor CcTRPM to mediate the transition from summer-form to winter-form of Cacopsylla chinensis

    Songdou Zhang, Jianying Li ... Xiaoxia Liu
    The first comprehensive study on the regulation mechanism of miR-252 and temperature receptor CcTRPM on insect seasonal polyphenism will also conducive to designing a new method for pest control.

    Delayed postglacial colonization of Betula in Iceland and the circum North Atlantic

    David J Harning, Samuel Sacco ... Gifford H Miller
    Following the last deglaciation in the North Atlantic, DNA evidence shows Betulaceae colonization was consistently delayed compared to Salicaceae, which may serve as an analog for modern global warming.

    100 years of anthropogenic impact causes changes in freshwater functional biodiversity

    Niamh Eastwood, Jiarui Zhou ... Luisa Orsini
    High-throughput systemic approaches on long-term trends identify the environmental factors that cause loss of biodiversity and disrupt ecosystem functions.

    Meta-analysis reveals glucocorticoid levels reflect variation in metabolic rate, not ‘stress’

    Blanca Jimeno, Simon Verhulst
    Glucocorticoids are assumed to reflect 'stress,' but they increase proportionally to the increase in metabolic rate induced by stressors, leading us to propose that glucocorticoids reflect metabolic rate, not stress.

    Adulis and the transshipment of baboons during classical antiquity

    Franziska Grathwol, Christian Roos ... Gisela H Kopp
    The first sequenced mitogenome of a mummified non-human primate connects an Egyptian baboon dated to ca. 800–540 BCE to modern baboon populations in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and eastern Sudan, providing evidence for Egyptian–Adulite trade centuries earlier than current archaeological evidence.

    Drivers of species knowledge across the tree of life

    Stefano Mammola, Martino Adamo ... Ricardo A Correia
    Different species-level characteristics and sociocultural factors influence scientific and societal interest in biodiversity, with important implications for species-level conservation and dissemination.

    Wandering albatrosses exert high take-off effort only when both wind and waves are gentle

    Leo Uesaka, Yusuke Goto ... Kentaro Q Sakamoto
    Wind and ocean wave conditions experienced by albatrosses were estimated using an animal-borne recorder and revealed that take-off was easier under higher wave conditions.
