ECHIDNA: Extreme Climate Historical and Future Indices Data under Numerous Approaches across Major Chinese River Basins Based on CMIP6 Multi-Model Ensemble [PDF]

Scientific Data
Climate extremes are intensifying under global warming, posing unprecedented challenges to ecosystems, water resources, and human societies. However, high-resolution, basin-specific extreme climate datasets remain scarce, particularly in climatically ...

Comparative analysis of complete mitochondrial genomes of fourteen moray eels (Anguilliformes: Muraenidae) and primary exploration of their phylogenetic relationship and temperature adaptation [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Moray eels (Anguilliformes: Muraenidae) are commonly found in subtropical and tropical waters, where they favor sheltered habitats and occasionally exhibit aggressive behavior.

AMHY and sex determination in egg-laying mammals [PDF]

Genome Biology
Background Egg-laying mammals (monotremes) evolved multiple sex chromosomes independently of therian mammals and lack the sex-determining gene SRY. The Y-localized anti-Müllerian hormone gene (AMHY) is the candidate sex-determination gene in monotremes ...

Attenborough’s echidna rediscovered by combining Indigenous knowledge with camera-trapping [PDF]

npj Biodiversity
We confirm the ‘rediscovery’ of Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus attenboroughi), one of only five modern egg-laying mammals and, until now, one of the planet’s most enigmatic ‘lost species’.

A laser capture microdissection‐based transcriptome analysis on salt glands highlights salt secretion mechanism in mangrove plant Avicennia marina [PDF]

The Plant Journal, Volume 128, Issue 1, October 2026.
SUMMARY Salt glands, developed in the epidermis of salt‐secreting mangrove plant Avicennia marina leaves and specialized in salt secretion, are critical for improving the survival under high saline habitats. However, the salt secretion mechanism in A. marina remains poorly understood. In this study, laser capture microdissection was employed to isolate

The role of clathrin in post‐Golgi secretion in plant cells [PDF]

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3401-3417, September 2026.
Morphology of Arabidopsis thaliana XVE»amiCHC seedlings. Summary Within the plant endomembrane system, the vesicle coat protein clathrin localizes to the plasma membrane (PM) and the trans‐Golgi Network/early endosome (TGN/EE). While the role of clathrin in endocytosis at the PM is well established, its function at TGN/EE, presumably in late secretion (

Pseudogenization of NK3 homeobox 2 (Nkx3.2) in monotremes provides insight into unique gastric anatomy and physiology [PDF]

Open Biology
The enzymatic breakdown and regulation of food passage through the vertebrate antral stomach and pyloric sphincter (antropyloric region) is a trait conserved over 450 million years.

Color vision evolution in egg-laying mammals: insights from visual photoreceptors and daily activities of Australian echidnas [PDF]

Zoological Letters
Egg-laying mammals (monotremes) are considered “primitive” due to traits such as oviparity, cloaca, and incomplete homeothermy, all of which they share with reptiles.

Refining Accelerometer‐Based Animal Behaviour Classifications With Sequence‐Informed Post‐Processing [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Machine learning can be used to detect fine‐scale animal behaviours from accelerometer data but even the best model will make prediction errors. Logic‐based post‐processing techniques can be used to correct for those errors, with no additional data or computation.

Comparative genomics of monotremes provides insights into the early evolution of mammalian epidermal differentiation genes [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The function of the skin as a barrier against the environment depends on the differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes into highly resilient corneocytes that form the outermost skin layer.
