Genome size and extinction risk in vertebrates [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004 The hypothesis of 'selfish DNA' is tested for the case of animals using the relation between genome size and conservation status of a given species. In contrast to plants, where the larger genome was previously shown to increase the likelihood of extinction, the picture is more complicated in animals.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 1, Page 5-28, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Antlers are the most conspicuous trait of cervids and have been used in the past to establish a classification of their fossil and living representatives. Since the availability of molecular data, morphological characters have generally become less important for phylogenetic reconstructions.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The interlocking electrode–electrolyte (IEE) system addresses the challenges of quasi‐solid‐state electrolyte systems, such as void formation and increased interfacial resistance, in silicon microparticle anodes and Ni‐rich layered cathodes. By preserving a stable electrode–electrolyte interface, the IEE system mitigates mechanical degradation and ...

Adverse maternal environment alters Oprl1 variant expression in mouse hippocampus
The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 1, Page 162-175, January 2023., 2023 Abstract An adverse maternal environment (AME) and Western diet (WD) in early life predispose offspring toward cognitive impairment in humans and mice. Cognitive impairment associates with hippocampal dysfunction. An important regulator of hippocampal function is the hippocampal Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) system. Previous studies find links between

Extinction Risks from AI: Invisible to Science? [PDF]
arXivIn an effort to inform the discussion surrounding existential risks from AI, we formulate Extinction-level Goodhart's Law as "Virtually any goal specification, pursued to the extreme, will result in the extinction of humanity", and we aim to understand which formal models are suitable for investigating this hypothesis.

Unprecedented Ultra‐High Expansion Ratio Foam for Innovative Architecture
Advanced Science, EarlyView.PMMA/PVDF foams with ultra‐high expansion ratios are achieved through a microwave‐enhanced foaming process. The unique combination of matrix material properties and cell structure confers these foams with exceptional radiative cooling efficiency and thermal insulation performance, making them promising candidates for next‐generation passive radiative ...
