Highlights

We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.

    Asymmetric introgression and thermal advantage jointly drive climate-mediated lineage turnover in a mixed-ploidy reed

    Lele Liu, Wenyi Sheng ... Weihua Guo
    Climate warming can silently replace cold-adapted native lineages with warm-adapted ones through asymmetric introgression and physiological advantages, a process overlooked by species-level forecasts.

    Enhanced tactile coding in rat neocortex under darkness

    Kotaro Yamashiro, Shiyori Tanaka ... Yuji Ikegaya
    Temporary darkness enhances the neural separability of tactile textures in the rat somatosensory cortex, revealing how sensory coding rapidly adapts to the absence of vision.
