Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Addressing complexity in the study of life sciences through Systems Biology and Systems Medicine has been transformative, making Systems Pharmacology the next logical step. In this review, we focus on physical stimuli, whose potential in pharmacology has been neglected, despite demonstrated therapeutic properties.

New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods
ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

The \(\pi\)-weights and \(\pi\)-characters of hyperspaces with the hit-and-miss topologies
For a topological space \(X\), let \(2^X\) be the set of all closed subsets of \(A\) and \(\text{CL}(X)=2^X-\{\emptyset\}\). \(\Delta\) denotes a subset of \(\text{CL}(X)\) satisfying the following properties: (a) \(\Delta\) is closed with respect to the finite unions; (b) the intersection of every finite subset of \(\Delta\) belongs to \(\Delta\) if ...

UBVH: Unified Bounding Volume and Scene Geometry Representation for Ray Tracing
Abstract Bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) are currently the most common data structure used to accelerate ray tracing. The existing BVH methods distinguish between the bounding volume representation associated with the interior BVH nodes and the scene geometry representation associated with leaf nodes.

FluidMap: Proportional and Spatially Consistent Layout Enrichments in Multidimensional Projections
FluidMap faithfully represents the frequency of an attribute and preserves spatial consistency. Current space‐filling methods over‐ or under‐represent attribute categories (i.e., all Voronoi‐based methods), sacrifice spatial consistency (i.e., Nmap) or both (i.e., Voronoi‐MWα).

In this study, we confirm that PlqH is the hydroxylase operating in plastoquinone biosynthesis in photosynthetic cyanobacteria (Cyanobacteriia). Our phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that cyanobacterial PlqH homologues originated from hydroxylases involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis in bacteria. Plastoquinone production in Escherichia coli was achieved

High‐quality genomes of four wild raspberry species, analysis of their genetic relationships, identification of centromeres as markers for tracing their hybrid origins, exploration of fruit quality regulation, and discovery of a gene blocking anthocyanin transport and thus causing yellow fruits provides valuable resources for raspberry breeding ...

Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Transposable Element‐Mediated Structural Variation Drives Flower Colour Diversification in Camellia
ABSTRACT The role of transposable elements (TEs) in genome evolution and phenotypic diversification in Camellia remains poorly understood. Here, we present an integrated analysis of genome resequencing data from 237 Camellia accessions and 11 de novo genome assemblies representing all major floral colour types.
