摘要:Time averaging (TA), the mixing of noncontemporaneous organisms in fossil assemblages, governs the resolution of paleontological data and determines which biological and environmental processes are recorded in the geological record. To assess variation in TA and its dependence on external drivers, we used amino acid and radiocarbon methods to individually date 7,593 specimens across 384 samples from late Quaternary marine assemblages of calcifying organisms. Bivalve mollusks dominated the data...

摘要:Sighted people rely on vision to recognize and navigate the local environment. By adulthood, human cortex contains at least three regions that respond selectively to visual scene information, but it remains unknown when or how these regions develop. One hypothesis is that development of scene selectivity depends on passive exposure to the low-level visual statistics of scenes. Another hypothesis is that development depends on active experience using scene information to plan and guide navigati...

摘要:The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling pathway is essential for cellular adaptation to low oxygen. Although the canonical PHD-pVHL pathway that mediates HIF-alpha degradation under normoxia is well established, alternative regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we identify Microrchidia family CW-type zinc-finger 2 (MORC2) as a negative regulator of HIF-alpha. In zebrafish, CRISPR/Cas9-generated morc2 mutants developed polycythemia, systemic hypoxia, and constitutive activa...

摘要:Membrane pearling, the transformation of a smooth tubule into a chain of bead-like swellings connected by narrow membrane tethers, is a widely observed shape change. While it has been well studied for synthetic lipid and unilamellar intracellular membranes, the mechanism underlying the pearling of the peculiar double-membrane architecture of tubular mitochondria remained elusive. Here, we addressed the role of the strongly convoluted inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) in pearling driven by str...

摘要:Vegetables are a critical component of diets, with inadequate intake of this essential food group leading to poor dietary quality and malnutrition. Food system assessments identify insufficient production, comparatively high prices, and sociocultural barriers as key constraints to vegetable consumption. We argue that vegetable biodiversity, spanning vegetable species and their varieties, as well as their wild relative species, is a central yet underutilized lever for enhancing vegetable consum...

摘要:Mercury (Hg) is a toxic pollutant of global concern that threatens ecosystem and human health. Its cycle is being jointly reshaped by anthropogenic emissions and polar warming, yet the response of the Antarctic system remains poorly constrained. Here, we reconstruct the past 200 y of Hg source-sink dynamics in the Antarctic Peninsula (AP), Antarctica's fastest-warming region with the most pronounced glacier melting, by combining geochemical and isotopic records from 16 sediment cores collected...

摘要:Ubiquitination is an essential posttranslational modification in eukaryotes, which plays a fundamental role in numerous important biological functions. However, the role of ubiquitination in the evolution of adaptive traits in insects remains poorly understood. Here, we reveal the role of ubiquitination in insecticide resistance and its associated fitness cost in the whitefly pest, Bemisia tabaci. We identify the RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM37 in B. tabaci and show its promotion of ubiqu...

摘要:Organizations devote substantial resources to coordination, yet which tasks actually require it for correctness remains unclear. The problem is acute in multiagent AI systems, where coordination cost is directly measurable and can exceed the cost of the work itself. Distributed systems theory provides a precise criterion: Coordination is required when a task specification is nonmonotonic, meaning that as histories grow, new information can invalidate prior conclusions. Here we show that Thomps...
