摘要：Desert ants are known to rely heavily on vision while venturing for food and returning to the nest. During these foraging trips, ants memorize and recognize their visual surroundings, which enables them to recapitulate individually learned routes in a fast and effective manner. The compound eyes are crucial for such visual navigation; however, it remains unclear how information from both eyes are integrated and how ants cope with visual impairment. Here, we manipulated the ants' visual system ...

摘要：Accurate estimation of the dispersal velocity or speed of evolving organisms is no mean feat. In fact, existing probabilistic models in phylogeography or spatial population genetics generally do not provide an adequate framework to define velocity in a relevant manner. For instance, the very concept of instantaneous speed simply does not exist under one of the most popular approaches that models the evolution of spatial coordinates as Brownian trajectories running along a phylogeny. Here, we i...

摘要：The extraordinary chemistry of microdroplets has reshaped how we as a community think about reactivity near multiphase boundaries. Even though interesting physico- chemical properties of microdroplets have been reported, sessile droplets' inherent mobility, which has been implicated as a driving force for curious chemistry, has not been well established. This paper seeks to answer the question: Can adsorbed microdroplets be mobile at the nanoscale? This is a tantalizing question, as almost no ...

摘要：Human evolution is intricately linked with culture, which permeates almost all facets Nevertheless, our understanding of the ways in which stably transmitted, evolutionarily relevant human cultural traits might interact with the human genome is incomplete, and methods to detect such interactions are limited. Here, we describe some rules of cultural transmission which could pertain to both humans and cultural nonhuman animals that could lead to the formation and maintenance of stable associatio...

摘要：Skeletal muscle actin (ACTA1) mutations are a prevalent cause of skeletal myopathies consistent with ACTA1's high expression in skeletal muscle. Rare de novo mutations in ACTA1 associated with combined cardiac and skeletal myopathies have been reported, but ACTA1 represents only similar to 20% of the total actin pool in cardiomyocytes, making its role in cardiomyopathy controversial. Here we demonstrate how a mutation in an actin isoform expressed at low levels in cardiomyocytes can cause card...

摘要：Establishment of root nodule symbiosis is initiated by the perception of bacterial Nod factor ligands by the plant LysM receptor kinases NFR1 and NFR5. Receptor signaling initiating the symbiotic pathway depends on the kinase activity of NFR1, while the signaling mechanism of the catalytically inactive NFR5 pseudokinase is unknown. Here, we present the crystal structure of the signaling- competent Lotus japonicus NFR5 intracellular domain, comprising the juxtamembrane region and pseudokinase d...

摘要：A faster cruising speed increases drag and thereby the thrust (T) needed to fly, while weight and lift (L) requirement remains constant. Birds can adjust their wingbeat in multiple ways to accommodate this change in aerodynamic force, but the relative costs of different strategies remain largely unknown. To evaluate the efficiency of several kinematic strategies, I used a robotic wing [E. Ajanic, A. Paolini, C. Coster, D. Floreano, C. Johansson, Adv. Intell. Syst. 5 , 2200148 (2023)] and quant...

摘要：The maturation and installation of the active site metal cluster (FeMo-co, Fe7S9CMo-R-homocitrate) in Mo-dependent nitrogenase requires the protein product of the nifB gene for production of the FeS cluster precursor (NifB-co, [Fe8S9C]) and the action of the maturase complex composed of the protein products from the nifE and nifN genes. However, some putative diazotrophic bacteria, like Roseiflexus sp. RS-1, lack the nifEN genes, suggesting an alternative pathway for maturation of FeMo-co that...
