The afterlife of a horizontally transferred gene: Expansion and functional diversification of a C1A peptidase in wild Hordeum species. [PDF]
Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can accelerate plant adaptation, but the evolutionary fate of newly acquired nuclear genes is often unclear. Here, we analyzed a papain‐like cysteine peptidase horizontally transferred from Panicoideae to wild Hordeum (Poaceae). Using chromosome‐level assemblies of 21 diploid Hordeum species, we assessed presence/

Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring data. [PDF]
Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...

Bank Income Smoothing, Societal Patriarchy and Policy Uncertainty
ABSTRACT Using a sample of 745 banks from 26 OECD countries over the period 1997–2023, we investigate the moderating effects of societal patriarchy on bank income smoothing (IS), amidst policy uncertainty (PU). Results indicate that in periods of high PU, banks operating in highly patriarchal societies tend to curtail the use of loan loss provisions ...

Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Gender Justice in the Triple Planetary Crisis: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Aim To identify and report how gender justice is conceptualised and discussed in contemporary health literature in relation to the Triple Planetary Crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss, with a particular focus on the experiences of women and gender‐diverse populations, and the representation of nurses and other healthcare ...

Durum Wheat cv. Svevo Reference Genome Rel.2.0: A Comprehensive Tool for Wheat Genomics
ABSTRACT Advancements in plant genome sequencing and assembly have enabled the production of increasingly accurate and contiguous genome sequences. Here, we present the chromosome‐level assembly of the durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum, cv. Svevo) reference genome produced using accurate long‐reads, optical mapping and Hi‐C. The new assembly

Abstract The United Nations and European Union have set ambitious conservation goals to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity by protecting 30% of land and sea areas by 2030. Effective conservation planning requires evidence‐based spatial prioritization to maximize the coverage of species within designated protected areas.

Ultrafast oscillations in the human brain and their functional significance
Abstract Objective The upper frequency limit of human brain activity remains unknown. Using ultrahigh sampling rate (≥20 kHz) intracranial microelectroencephalography, this study aimed to systematically explore and quantitatively characterize brain field oscillations beyond the established high‐frequency oscillation range (>2 kHz), and to determine ...
