摘要：The movement of large amounts of nutrients by migrating animals has ecological benefits for recipient food webs(1,2) that may be offset by co-transported contaminants(3,4). Salmon spawning migrations are archetypal of this process, carrying marine-derived materials to inland ecosystems where they stimulate local productivity but also enhance contaminant exposure(5-7). Pacific salmon abundance and biomass are higher now than in the last century, reflecting substantial shifts in community struct...

摘要：Islands are renowned as evolutionary laboratories and support many species that are not found elsewhere1,2. Islands are also of great conservation concern, with many of their endemic species currently threatened or extinct3. Here we present a standardized checklist of all known vascular plants that occur on islands and document their geographical and phylogenetic distribution and conservation risk. Our analyses of 304,103 plant species reveal that 94,052 species (31%) are native to islands, wh...

摘要：Migrating animals can bring food and contaminants to their destination. An assessment of Pacific salmon migrations from 1976 to 2015 reveals changes in the scale of this coupled transport and potential effects for consumers.

摘要：Animals such as raccoon dogs, mink and muskrats are farmed for fur and are sometimes used as food or medicinal products1,2, yet they are also potential reservoirs of emerging pathogens3. Here we performed single-sample metatranscriptomic sequencing of internal tissues from 461 individual fur animals that were found dead due to disease. We characterized 125 virus species, including 36 that were novel and 39 at potentially high risk of cross-species transmission, including zoonotic spillover. No...

摘要：Females exhibit complex, dynamic behaviours during mating with variable sexual receptivity depending on hormonal status1-4. However, how their brains encode the dynamics of mating and receptivity remains largely unknown. The ventromedial hypothalamus, ventrolateral subdivision contains oestrogen receptor type 1-positive neurons that control mating receptivity in female mice5,6. Here, unsupervised dynamical system analysis of calcium imaging data from these neurons during mating uncovered a dim...

摘要：In 2004, physicists reported something remarkable: they had isolated ultrathin films of carbon atoms using sticky tape alone, and found that the films had astounding properties. The finding would forever change condensed-matter physics.

摘要：DNA storage has shown potential to transcend current silicon-based data storage technologies in storage density, longevity and energy consumption1-3. However, writing large-scale data directly into DNA sequences by de novo synthesis remains uneconomical in time and cost4. We present an alternative, parallel strategy that enables the writing of arbitrary data on DNA using premade nucleic acids. Through self-assembly guided enzymatic methylation, epigenetic modifications, as information bits, ca...
