Basis Networks: Learning basis functions for free‐form triangulations
Abstract We present a framework for learning compactly supported basis functions that define tangent continuous surfaces based on coarse irregular triangle meshes. The basis functions are represented as MLPs. Smoothness of the basis functions is achieved by using the values of Loop basis functions as the parameterization of the surface.

Methodology to identify ecologically matching areas and its applications in conservation planning
Abstract Identifying ecologically matching areas is both challenging and critical for understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity and advancing conservation planning. However, existing approaches often lack spatial flexibility, overlook shape and size constraints, or rely on limited environmental parameters, reducing their effectiveness in real ...

Phylogenetic Reconstruction of Lung Evolution in Extant Squamata
The Squamata group exhibits remarkable diversity in lung structure. However, a comprehensive understanding of how this variation evolved within the clade is still lacking. To reconstruct the evolutionary history of lungs of living squamates, we conducted comparative phylogenetic analyses using categorized lung traits, such as lung type, respiratory ...

Balancing Risk and Reward: Red Fox Exploitation of Kill Sites in a Wolf‐Occupied Landscape
Wolves are recolonising the European Alps, and the carcasses they leave behind are a valuable food source for smaller carnivores. Using camera traps at 26 wolf‐killed red deer carcasses in Stelvio National Park, we found that red foxes visited every carcass and timed their visits according to how much meat was left, rather than to whether wolves were ...

Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes
Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...

Using high‐quality population genomic data, Soni, Versoza and colleagues infer the rates and landscapes of mutation and recombination in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)—two fundamental processes dictating the levels and patterns of genetic variability—within the context of two biological peculiarities related to the reproductive mode of the ...

ABSTRACT Spatial heterogeneity in the colorectal cancer (CRC) tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely related to stromal organization and may influence treatment‐related features. In this study, we integrated single‐cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic data from CRC tissues to examine cancer‐associated fibroblast (CAF)‐dominant spatial ...
