Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis
Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.

Data‐driven discovery of mechanistic ecosystem models with LLMs
Abstract Ecosystem models are essential for ecosystem management, but their development traditionally requires significant time and expertise, creating bottlenecks in addressing urgent environmental challenges. We present LEMMA (LLM Enabled Mechanistic Modelling for ecosystem Assessment), a framework that programmatically generates and iteratively ...

This paper develops a framework for understanding how key audit matters (KAMs) can be factored into investors’ risk assessments. Detailed interviews with seasoned investors representing international and regional asset managers and owners confirm that the number and type of reported KAMs are not ‘priced’ directly.
