Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.The proposed hybrid osprey‐salp swarm optimization algorithm addresses optimal power flow (OPF) problems in smart grids incorporating solar, hydro, and thermal generators. The algorithm is validated on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 30‐, 57‐, and 118‐bus test systems across five single and multiobjective OPF scenarios.

Space weathering on the lunar nearside and farside constrained from Si isotopes
Nature CommunicationsOver long timescales, space weathering processes can modify the compositions of surface materials on the Moon. To assess the effects of space weathering of lunar soils, we study Si isotopes of Chang’E-5 (CE-5) and Chang’E-6 (CE-6) returned samples, and ...

Trapped in the web: network architectures spread coevolution and shape adaptation
Oikos, EarlyView.Adaptation is critical for biodiversity to persist under global change. Within ecological communities, species often face tradeoffs between adapting to shifting abiotic conditions and navigating the complex selective pressures imposed by interaction networks.

Morphological anisotropy of shear failure surfaces of granite rock bridges
Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-ResourcesRock bridges are critical for the stability of rock masses and often experience shear failure under natural conditions. As a manifestation of the failure mechanisms of rock bridges, we investigate the morphology of failure surfaces created by direct ...

A protein coevolution method uncovers critical features of the Hepatitis C Virus fusion mechanism. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Amino-acid coevolution can be referred to mutational compensatory patterns preserving the function of a protein. Viral envelope glycoproteins, which mediate entry of enveloped viruses into their host cells, are shaped by coevolution signals that confer ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.

Cospeciation of coronavirus and paramyxovirus with their bat hosts in the same geographical areas
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background Bat-borne viruses are relatively host specific. We hypothesize that this host specificity is due to coevolution of the viruses with their hosts.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.
