On Our Cosmic (In)significance
ABSTRACT This article discusses three interpretations of cosmic significance, all of which reveal something important about the notion of significance. Along the way, it proposes a unified view of significance by combining elements of each of the views.

The decline of seagrass meadows is a continuing global concern, and seed‐based restoration provides a scalable approach to recovering lost and degraded meadows. Such approaches require large quantities of seed to be collected, processed, and often stored for months until deployment.

Abstract Fruit size, shape, color, and percent fruit rot are important quality traits for breeding cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.). Image analysis can be used to measure these traits, but affordable hardware for standardized image capture and integrated user‐friendly software pipelines are lacking.

Reduction of the Bar Fraction in Paired Galaxies in the SDSS
We investigate the bar fraction in galaxy pairs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to assess how galaxy interactions affect bar structures. Compared to isolated galaxies, close pairs exhibit a significantly reduced bar fraction at projected separations ...

Genome evolution of Mediterranean olives following DNA repeats diversification
Abstract The olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea) is one of the most representative perennial crops of the Mediterranean Basin, yet the genomic processes underlying its domestication and diversification remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated repeatome variation across 20 accessions, including 11 wild oleasters and nine cultivated ...

Kinematic Characteristics of Galaxy Mergers in FIRE
Galaxy mergers are believed to play a fundamental role in triggering starburts (Sanders & Mirabel 1996) and active galactic nuclei (Canalizo & Stockton 2000).

Ragnarok: A flexible and RApid GeNe annotation (ROcKs) pipeline deployed through Nextflow
Abstract High‐quality genome assemblies and pan‐genomes are increasingly achievable and accessible due to advances in third‐generation sequencing and assembly algorithms, but genome annotation remains a critical bottleneck. Existing gene annotation pipelines often require complex installations, multiple steps, and long runtimes and produce variable ...

The Origins of Gas Accreted by Supermassive Black Holes: The Importance of Recycled Gas
We investigate the fueling mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by analyzing 10 zoom-in cosmological simulations of massive galaxies, with stellar masses 10 ^11–12 M _⊙ and SMBH masses 10 ^8.9–9.7 M _⊙ at z = 0, featuring various major and ...

The signature of major mergers on the hydrostatic mass bias of galaxy clusters
Context. While the masses and abundances of galaxy clusters are key observables for Cosmology, mass determinations based on intra-cluster medium observations often rely on the hydrostatic equilibrium assumption.
