Identification of Ecological Corridors for Semi‐Aquatic Vertebrates: A Case of the Eurasian Otter in Northeast China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study employed species distribution models and corridor construction models to predict the distribution range of suitable habitats and identify the ecological corridors and key points for the Eurasian otter in Northeast China. There were 39 core habitats, 42 ecological corridors, 78 pinch points and 19 barrier points identified. Among these, 11.92%

Exceptional Visual‐Opsin Coexpression and Phenotypic Diversity in Outer‐Retinal Photoreceptors of Caenophidian Snakes

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 10, October 2025.
In snakes, profound differences in retinal architecture are observed between diurnal and nocturnal species. Additionally, in the rod‐dominated retinas of nocturnal snakes, coexpression of the cone opsins SWS1 and LWS in individual cones is common, while rhodopsin (RH1) is restricted to typical rods.

Predicting equilibrium scour depth around non-circular bridge piers with shallow foundations using hybrid explainable machine learning methods

Results in Engineering
Scouring around bridge piers is a critical concern, as the risk of bridge failures poses significant economic and safety threats to the public. Traditional models often struggle to accurately estimate the equilibrium scour depth (deq) at bridge piers due
