摘要：Can insects weighing mere grams challenge our current understanding of fluid dynamics in urination, jetting fluids like their larger mammalian counterparts? Current fluid urination models, predominantly formulated for mammals, suggest that jetting is confined to animals over 3 kg, owing to viscous and surface tension constraints at microscales. Our findings defy this paradigm by demonstrating that cicadas-weighing just 2 g-possess the capability for jetting fluids through remarkably small orif...

摘要：Mating type (sex) plays a crucial role in regulating sexual reproduction in most extant eukaryotes. One of the functions of mating types is ensuring self- incompatibility to some extent, thereby promoting genetic diversity. However, heterothallic mating is not always the best mating strategy. For example, in low- density populations or specific environments, such as parasitic ones, species may need to increase the ratio of potential mating partners. Consequently, many species allow homothallic...

摘要：All biological hydroxylation reactions are thought to derive the oxygen atom from one of three inorganic oxygen donors, O2, H2O2, or H2O. Here, we have identified the organic compound prephenate as the oxygen donor for the three hydroxylation steps of the O2 - independent biosynthetic pathway of ubiquinone, a widely distributed lipid coenzyme. Prephenate is an intermediate in the aromatic amino acid pathway and genetic experiments showed that it is essential for ubiquinone biosynthesis in Esch...

摘要：With -14,000 extant species, ants are ubiquitous and of tremendous ecological importance. They have undergone remarkable diversification throughout their evolutionary history. However, the drivers of their diversity dynamics are not well quantified or understood. Previous phylogenetic analyses have suggested patterns of diversity dynamics associated with the Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution (ATR), but these studies have overlooked valuable information from the fossil record. To address this g...

摘要：Orphan solute carrier (SLC) represents a group of membrane transporters whose exact functions and substrate specificities are not known. Elucidating the function and regulation of orphan SLC transporters is not only crucial for advancing our knowledge of cellular and molecular biology but can potentially lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies. Here, we provide evidence for the biological function of a ubiquitous orphan lysosomal SLC, the Major Facilitator Superfamily Domain- con...

摘要：Microbiota comprise the bulk of life's diversity, yet we know little about how populations of microbes accumulate adaptive diversity across natural landscapes. Adaptation to stressful soil conditions in plants provides seminal examples of adaptation in response to natural selection via allelic substitution. For microbes symbiotic with plants however, horizontal gene transfer allows for adaptation via gene gain and loss, which could generate fundamentally different evolutionary dynamics. We use...

摘要：In this study, we model and predict rice yields by integrating molecular marker variation, varietal productivity, and climate, focusing on the Southern U.S. ricegrowing region. This region spans the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Missouri and accounts for 85% of total U.S. rice production. By digitizing and combining four decades of county -level variety acreage data (1970 to 2015) with varietal information from genotyping-by-sequencing data, we estimate annual historic...
