Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

From glacial echoes to timber pathways: Climatic–historical drivers and timber‐trade influence on the phylogeography of Ips sexdentatus in the Basque Country

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ips sexdentatus is expanding across southern Europe, attacking multiple Pinus species and showing the ability to colonize trees at early stages of decline. Genetic analysis of 668 individuals revealed 106 haplotypes, with Iberian populations as diversity hotspots, reflecting long‐term refugial persistence alongside more recent demographic expansion ...

Patient‐reported outcomes and visual function after four refractive strategies in cataract surgery: A randomized controlled trial

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) and visual function across four groups of public cataract patients: emmetropia, mini‐monovision, monovision with partial‐range of field (RoF) narrow intraocular lenses (IOLs) and patients implanted with partial‐RoF extended IOLs.

A Melanoma Transplanted in Nude Mice Has Both Host‐ and Tumor‐Derived Blood Vessel‐ and Nerve‐Like Structures

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Nestin‐driven green fluorescent protein (ND‐GFP) expressing peripheral blood vessels and nerves in the subcutaneous tissue of the ND‐GFP mice extended into the transplanted melanoma such that ND‐GFP was enhanced at the margin of the melanoma compared to the tumor‐free side.

3D Character Reconstruction from Hand‐drawn Model Sheets

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Hand‐drawn model sheets are widely used in character design to define 3D shape and appearance through sparse multi‐view drawings. Reconstructing 3D characters from such sparse inputs has traditionally been challenging due to insufficient visual information.

KPI‐NeRF: Hyperspectral Neural Radiance Fields from a Single Kaleidoscopic Plenoptic Image

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
KPI‐NeRF reconstructs hyperspectral light field images from a single kaleidoscopic plenoptic image. By leveraging neural radiance fields, it enables high‐quality spectral and angular de‐multiplexing for dynamic scene capture. Abstract Plenoptic imaging has excessive sampling requirements associated with the high dimensionality of the desired data.

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Powdered hibiscus anthocyanin‐nanofibril complexes as natural colourants: Stability and application in yoghurt and soft candy

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The instability of anthocyanins limits their application as natural food colorants. This study aimed to enhance the stability of anthocyanins extracted from Hibiscus sabdariffa through copigmentation with protein nanofibrils produced from pea, rice, gluten and whey isolates. Linear and curly nanofibril structures were prepared and incorporated
