Robustness of life histories to environmental variability in complex versus simple life cycles
Most animal species have a complex life cycle (CLC) with metamorphosis. It is thus of interest to examine possible benefits of such life histories. The prevailing view is that CLC represents an adaptation for genetic decoupling of juvenile and adult ...

Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

Generation of traveling surface plasmon waves by free-electron impact
The injection of a beam of free 50 keV electrons into an unstructured gold surface creates a highly localized source of traveling surface plasmons with spectrum centered around 1.8 eV. The plasmons were detected by a controlled decoupling into light with

ABSTRACT Fish stocking is a common management practice used to mitigate the effects of overfishing and other threats to wild fish populations. It is mainly employed in freshwater ecosystems with complex and variable strategies (different timings, fish lengths and origins), making its effectiveness challenging to assess.

ABSTRACT Yeast sugar transporters have highly evolved for preferential glucose transport, a significant roadblock for utilizing non‐glucose sugars in renewable feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass. To enable simultaneous transport of multiple sugars, native hexose transporters were replaced by SWEET7p from Arabidopsis thaliana in engineered ...

A new coastline formed during the 2021 eruption of La Palma quickly eroded, becoming crenellated and with pocket beaches, then retreated more gradually as resistant interiors of the lava were exposed. In contrast, a second thicker lava delta changed more gradually, highlighting the importance of lithology to coastal erosion.

This study first demonstrates that in CKM syndrome patients, a higher dietary index for gut microbiota (DI‐GM) is associated with lower all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality. Each 1‐point increase in DI‐GM reduces all‐cause mortality risk by 10% and cardiovascular mortality by 12%.
