Evidence that genetic drift not adaptation drives fast‐Z and large‐Z effects in Ficedula flycatchers
Abstract The sex chromosomes have been hypothesized to play a key role in driving adaptation and speciation across many taxa. The reason for this is thought to be the hemizygosity of the heteromorphic part of sex chromosomes in the heterogametic sex, which exposes recessive mutations to natural and sexual selection. The exposure of recessive beneficial

The Distribution and Dispersal of Large Haploblocks in a Superspecies
ABSTRACT Haploblocks are regions of the genome that coalesce to an ancestor as a single unit. Differentiated haplotypes in these regions can result from the accumulation of mutational differences in low‐recombination chromosomal regions, especially when selective sweeps occur within geographically structured populations.

Reconstruction at the meso level: Rebuilding everyday life in post‐conflict Malakand, Pakistan
Abstract Meso‐level institutions are integral to everyday life but are often overlooked in post‐civil war rebuilding efforts. This study, based on a qualitative dataset of 27 interviews and 11 focus groups conducted in Malakand Division, Pakistan, reveals that many of the institutions that are vital to local stakeholders have been neglected in the ...

Analysing Temporal Variations in Radon Concentrations: Identifying Trends and Changes
ABSTRACT Radon is a well‐known precursor for geodynamic events such as earthquakes and volcanic tremors. Radon concentration variations in soil gas have been monitored worldwide, and extreme radon values have been identified as radon anomalies associated with geodynamic events.

Born high, born fast: Does highland birth confer a pulmonary advantage for sea level endurance?
Abstract Less than 7% of the world's population live at an altitude above 1500 m. Yet, as many as 67% of medalists in the 2020 men's and women's Olympic marathon, and 100% of medalists in the 2020 men's and women's Olympic 5000 m track race may have been born or raised above this otherwise rare threshold.

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer‐related death worldwide. Contemporary advances in systemic and locoregional therapies have led to changes in peer‐reviewed guidelines regarding systemic therapy as well as the possibility of downstaging disease that may enable some patients

What's new? Hyperprogressive disease (HPD) is defined by unusually rapid tumor growth following treatment initiation. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), HPD is suspected of occurring more commonly with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), particularly when used as monotherapy, than with other treatment strategies.

Summary Climate warming stimulates growth and reproduction in cold‐adapted plants but also leads to extreme weather events that may hinder their performance. We examined these predictions in the cold‐arid Himalayan subnival zone at 5900 m, where unprecedented warming and extreme snowfalls occurred over the past three decades.

Phylogenomic data illuminate the evolutionary history of the ant tribe Camponotini and its obligate bacterial endosymbiont, Blochmannia, and suggest a Paleotropical Eocene origin of the association. We discover three novel lineages of camponotine ants, previously misidentified as members of the large cosmopolitan genus Camponotus.

Abstract Anthropogenic heat is a strong point source in urban areas, increasing temperature and exacerbating heat‐related health risks. While its impact on urban climate has been widely studied, a simple expression for quickly estimating temperature changes due to anthropogenic heat remains lacking.
