Interacting galaxies and mergers
Nature Astronomy, 2019 Two landmark papers in the 1970s contributed strongly to establishing the importance of galaxy interactions and mergers in the formation and evolution of galaxies, using only gravity, and the ensuing dynamical friction.

Form flows function: Learner‐centered game Re‐design in a STEM classroom
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Re‐designing games facilitates interest‐driven learning and immerses learners in systems thinking. However, there are limited studies exploring how the form and function of tabletop games influence learners' design decisions and learning experiences. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed‐methods study in a STEM classroom in western Canada.

Harnessing the Hubble Space Telescope Archives: A Catalog of 21,926 Interacting Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Mergers play a complex role in galaxy formation and evolution. Continuing to improve our understanding of these systems requires ever larger samples, which can be difficult (even impossible) to select from individual surveys.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

High-redshift Merger-induced Bar-like Galaxies in IllustrisTNG
The Astrophysical Journal LettersRecent discoveries made with JWST observations include a significant number of barred galaxies at high redshift. Their origin remains unclear, and their presence seems difficult to reproduce in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation and evolution ...

THE METALLICITY EVOLUTION OF INTERACTING GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 Nuclear inflows of metal-poor interstellar gas triggered by galaxy interactions can account for the systematically lower central oxygen abundances observed in local interacting galaxies. Here, we investigate the metallicity evolution of a large set of simulations of colliding galaxies.

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Paradigm shift: PCR‐free methods reveal 6–15‐fold higher arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal abundance than metabarcoding, exposing systematic underestimation across decades of research. Predictive power: AM fungal abundance serves as a community‐level trait that predicts crop yield under drought conditions.

Discovery of a Rare Group of Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Universe
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe report the discovery of a rare isolated group of five dwarf galaxies located at z = 0.0086 ( D = 36 Mpc). All member galaxies are star forming, blue, and gas rich, with g − r indices ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 mag, and two of them show signs of ongoing ...

A spectroscopic study of the merging dwarf galaxy PGC 007782
BibechanaWe did a detailed spectroscopic study of PGC 007782, an interacting emission type dwarf galaxy. This study utilized the optical spectrum of emission lines to explore the system of interacting dwarf galaxies.
