Circadian clock disruption promotes retinal photoreceptor degeneration
Mice carrying a knock‐in of the P23H mutation of the rhodopsin gene are a well‐characterized model of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a hereditary retinal degeneration affecting primarily rods. Here, by combining the P23H Rho mutation with the rod‐specific invalidation of the Bmal1 clock gene and by performing functional, structural, and molecular analyses,

The feeding patterns of invasive populations of C. zillii in different habitats and seasons within a large‐scale geographic area (spanning 9.86° latitude and 10.47° longitude) in China were directly compared. ABSTRACT The redbelly tilapia (Coptodon zillii) is one of the most dangerous invasive alien fishes in the world.

This study explores the phylogeny and mitochondrial genomics of Ovulidae, a family of marine gastropods related to Cypraeidae, by analyzing mitochondrial genomes from 14 of 15 species collected off China's coast. Key findings include the reclassification of genera Naviculavolva and Contrasimnia to the subfamily Prionovolvinae, evidence against the ...

Mitochondrial Genomes of Three Melampus Species (Ellobiidae; Gastropoda)
The mitochondrial genomes of three gastropod species from the family Ellobiidae—Melampus bidentatus, Melampus jaumei, and Melampus gundlachi—were assembled and annotated and found to have a gene order that diverges from the conserved gene order that is recovered in most genera within Ellobiidae and—more generally—within Euthyneura.

Ionospheric D Region: Characteristics Near Dawn and Dusk
Abstract The characteristics of very low frequency (VLF) radio wave propagation in the Earth‐ionosphere waveguide are determined particularly through dawn and dusk using phase and amplitude measurements of man‐made signals propagating below the ionospheric D region. For the first time variations of “Wait” height and sharpness parameters, H' and β, have

The Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere‐Ground Responses to the May 2024 Super Solar Storm
Abstract Earth suffered the attack of the strongest geomagnetic storm in the last 20 years (Kp = 9, Dst∼ ${\sim} $ −400 nT) occurred on 11 May 2024. Taking advantage of the LEO multi‐parameter CSES satellite (launched in 2018) with a large inclination angle 97° $97{}^{\circ}$, with the joint observations of NOAA and GOES, we present a comprehensive ...

Multi‐Source Forecast of Solar Cycle Flare Activity Using the Novel Informer‐Based Models
Abstract Solar flares, the significant indicators of solar activity, have an impact on Earth's satellites and communication systems. Accurate prediction of solar flare events is crucial for mitigating these effects. In this work, we use multiple data sources, including Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites soft X‐ray flare flux and the ...

Nowcasting Solar Energetic Particle Events for Mars Missions
Abstract In addition to the omnipresent Galactic Cosmic Rays, sudden Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events present considerable health hazards for manned space missions. These events not only contribute to an increased long‐term cancer risk, but can, in extreme cases, cause acute radiation syndromes.

Global warming and obesity: External heat exposure as a modulator of energy balance
Core body temperature regulation can significantly influence metabolic processes to maintain energy balance. For example, geographic and environmental factors (global warming) can affect obesity rates and can be tracked along latitudinal boundaries.
