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.

Monospecific cover crops perpetuate soil biotic homogenization in croplands across diverse soils
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Croplands are known to support significant soil biotic homogenization. Cover crops are commonly used as a sustainable agriculture practice; however, many times these cover crops are composed of single‐species.

Satellite‐Derived Volume Budget of Antarctic Sea Ice
Earth and Space ScienceIn recent years, the Antarctic has seen a notable shift in sea ice trends: Where sea ice extent and volume were increasing on average, they have shown an unprecedented decline since 2016.

The long-term sea-level commitment from Antarctica [PDF]
The CryosphereThe evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is of vital importance given the coastal and societal implications of ice loss, with a potential to raise sea level by up to 58 m if it melts entirely.

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.

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

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives

The Importance of Sea Ice to Antarctic Ice Shelves
Frontiers for Young MindsIce shelves are important because they act as a dam that regulates the amount of land ice that flows into the ocean. This means if Antarctica’s ice shelves were to break up, more ice would be melted into the ocean and global sea level would rise at a much faster rate.
