This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)
Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives

ggNetView: An R package for reproducible biological network analysis and visualization
Abstract Biological network analysis has become an important approach for investigating interactions among microorganisms, genes, proteins, and environmental variables across ecology, microbiology, and molecular biology. In practice, however, turning an inferred network into a clear figure and a full set of downstream topology and module analyses ...
