Alternating Spatial‐Temporal Optimization for Continuous Collision Detection of Signed Distance Fields

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a fast, robust method for continuous collision detection (CCD) directly between pairs of complex signed distance fields (SDFs). By casting CCD as an alternating spatio‐temporal optimization and driving a small set of smartly sampled surface points along SDF tangent spaces, our approach avoids dense sampling or triangle meshes ...

Budding speciation, mitochondrial capture and introgression between surface and cave lineages in the Asellus aquaticus species complex

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Evolutionary framework and tribal circumscription of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto based on a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolutionary history of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto (s.s.) has been shaped by multiple whole‐genome duplications and rapid radiations, producing an ecologically diverse lineage whose internal relationships have long remained unresolved.

GSK3α‐mediated regulation of the RNA demethylase fat mass and obesity‐associated protein (FTO) during murine spermatogenesis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
FTO regulates mRNA stability and translational efficiency through its m6A‐demethylation activity. GSK3 functions as an upstream regulator of FTO, leading to its inhibition via phosphorylation. In male germ cells, FTO activity is kept in check by GSK3α.

Transcriptomic and proteomic signatures underlying nymphal adaptation and foam production in the forage pest Mahanarva spectabilis

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...

The Many Shades of Clouds: How Law Fails (Us) in Seeing Power in the Digital Economy

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cloud infrastructures form the backbone of our contemporary (digital) production environment. Despite their centrality, legal and scholarly practice have not been treating cloud infrastructures as single objects of/for study. In other words, we have laws for regulating services and products that flow from (within) cloud infrastructures, but we

Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Striking Suture Zone Mismatch Between Nuclear and Mitochondrial Markers in North African Chalcides ocellatus (Squamata: Scincidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Linnaean and Wallacean shortfalls remain pervasive even among common and widespread Mediterranean taxa, limiting our understanding of evolutionary history and species boundaries. The Ocellated Skink Chalcides ocellatus complex illustrates this issue, with disputed subspecific taxonomy and deep mitochondrial divergences across North Africa and ...
