SwarmGenomics: A Unified Pipeline for Individual-Based Whole-Genome Analyses. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Advances in sequencing technologies have made whole‐genome data widely accessible, enabling research in population genetics, evolutionary biology, and conservation. However, analysing whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data remains challenging, often requiring multiple specialised tools and substantial bioinformatics expertise.

Breaking the Exponential: Decoherence‐Driven Power‐Law Spontaneous Emission in Waveguide Quantum Electrodynamics

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Introducing dynamical dephasing into the photon modes of a waveguide causes spontaneous emission to switch from conventional exponential decay to a robust power‐law behavior visible at short times. The power law arises from photon diffusion in a dynamically disordered environment, uncovering a previously unexplored, decoherence‐induced pathway to ...

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Do We Really Know Why Carbon Nanotubes Grow?

Small, EarlyView.
The CNT growth mechanism is still debated. We propose a heterogeneous (2D) classical nucleation framework comparing pathways for graphenic patches, caps, and full CNTs. Despite its simplicity, it rationalizes key trends, including the correlation between catalyst particle size and CNT diameter.

Progressive Colour Equalisation and Detail Refinement for Underwater Image Enhancement

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater image enhancement remains a critical challenge in computational vision due to complex distortions caused by wavelength‐dependent light absorption and scattering. This paper introduces CEDFNet, a novel two‐stage framework that leverages advanced computational intelligence techniques for robust and high‐fidelity underwater image ...

Museomics Deciphers the Phylogeographic Differentiation and Conservation Status of a Montane Pheasant

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Many dictatorships end up with a series of disastrous decisions such as Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union or Saddam Hussein's aggression against Kuwait. Even if a certain policy choice is not ultimately fatal for the regime, such as Mao's Big Leap Forward or the Pol Pot's collectivization drive, they typically involve both a miscalculation ...

Identification and Estimation of Large Network Games with Private Link Information

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the identification and estimation of large network games in which individuals choose continuous actions while holding private information about their links and payoffs. Extending the framework of Galeotti et al., we build a tractable empirical model of such network games and show that the parameters in individual payoffs are ...

Medical Knowledge Integration Into Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Dynamic Treatment Regimes

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The goal of precision medicine is to provide individualised treatment at each stage of chronic diseases, a concept formalised by dynamic treatment regimes (DTR). These regimes adapt treatment strategies based on decision rules learned from clinical data to enhance therapeutic effectiveness.

Estimation of Genetic Variance and Breeding Values for Infectious Disease Susceptibility From Simulated Longitudinal Data Using Generalized Linear Mixed Models Based on Transmission Dynamics

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent theoretical work shows that the potential of genetic selection to reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases is much larger than expected from classical quantitative genetic theory, due to indirect genetic effects that arise in the transmission process. However, to fully benefit from these indirect effects, we need to estimate genetic
