Transposons as Tools for Future Genome Engineering in Yeasts and Filamentous Fungi

Yeast, EarlyView.
Applications of transposon‐based tools for genome engineering in fungi include transposon‐mediated mutagenesis and targeted genomic integration. ABSTRACT Transposons are fundamental genetic elements that have profoundly shaped the architecture of eukaryotic genomes.

Contrasting associations between parental coordination and breeding success in albatrosses across differing environmental contexts

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates that the benefits of parental coordination in albatrosses are context‐dependent rather than universal. Coordinated parental care enhanced reproductive success in stable environments, but had little effect in variable environments, where individual flexibility may be more valuable.

Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, 1959-60 [cartographic material]

, 1960
Map, extracted from a larger unidentified publication, of sites established along the coastline of the Australian Antarctic Territory by ANARE expeditions in the period of 1959-1960. The use of K17 Trimetrogon photography and radar altimeter heighting is

Disentangling Regional Drivers of Top Antarctic Snowfall Days With a Convolutional Neural Network

Geophysical Research Letters
Snowfall is the primary contributor to Antarctic surface mass balance. Identifying regional‐scale mechanisms that drive heavy snowfall provides context for changes in Antarctic surface mass balance in a warmer climate.

Polar Summer Snow and Ice Albedo Feedbacks Assessed by Satellite Observations and Radiative Kernels

Remote Sensing
Snow and ice albedo feedback (SIAF) is a key process linking cryospheric changes to global warming. Satellite radiative kernels provide another choice for estimating radiative feedbacks, bypassing the complexity of climate model radiative transfer ...

The Arctic and Antarctic Sea-Ice Area Index Records versus Measured and Modeled Temperature Data

Advances in Meteorology, 2015
Here we study the Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice area records provided by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). These records reveal an opposite climatic behavior: since 1978 the Arctic sea-ice area index decreased, that is, the region has warmed,

Humble beginnings of the Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus): A century‐old mystery solved

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus) feeds within the galls of scale insects (Apiomorpha) before transitioning into its wood‐boring eucalypt larval phase. This transitionary phase may be key to its multi‐year development, at the end of which it can produce over 100 000 eggs.

An improved retrieval method for liquid water content of the Antarctic ice sheet using SMOS data

Geocarto International
With global climate warming, Antarctic ice sheet melting has garnered increasing attention, as changes in liquid water content (LWC) significantly affect sea level rise and regional climate.

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Antarctic Snowfall Patterns and Trends: A Regional Analysis Across Multiple Data Sets

Earth and Space Science
Snowfall is the dominant positive component of the Antarctic surface mass balance (SMB) and a key factor regulating global sea level. However, substantial uncertainty remains in its spatial distribution and long‐term variability due to sparse in situ ...
