Plastome Evolution and Codon Usage Dynamics in <i>Argentina</i> (Rosaceae): Phylogenomic Resolution and Adaptive Signatures. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study assembled chloroplast genomes for three Argentina species and compared them with 15 others to resolve long‐standing taxonomic issues. Phylogenomic analyses strongly supported the monophyly of Argentina and identified five major clades, while analyses of codon usage revealed that natural selection is the predominant force shaping codon ...

Whole-Genome Sequencing Pilot of the Central Asian Genomic Diversity Project Reveals Distinct Histories, Adaptation, and Introgression. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)As a pilot phase of the Central Asian Genomic Diversity Project, whole‐genome sequencing of 166 individuals from 20 Central Asian and Afghan Hazara populations reveals fine‐scale substructure shaped by repeated trans‐Eurasian migration and admixture. Integrated analyses uncover post‐admixture adaptation, archaic introgression, and medically relevant ...

Cross-Cultural Variation in the Noun Bias in Early Vocabulary Development: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
Cogn SciAbstract Children's early vocabularies have been observed to be predominated by nouns, particularly concrete and animate nouns. This phenomenon, known as the “noun bias,” is argued to reflect a universal conceptual advantage for concrete objects in early word learning, because such referents are perceived as bounded, individualized concepts that are ...

Sympatric Speciation of Tibetan Loaches (<i>Triplophysa</i>) Driven by Dietary Niche Specialization. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe sympatric speciation of Tibetan loaches in a semi‐enclosed postglacial lake on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, which is driven by the synergistic mechanism of the gut microbiomes and dietary specialization. ABSTRACT The Qinghai‐Tibeta Plateau is a hotspot for endemic fish biodiversity.

Asymmetry of carbon sequestrations by plant and soil after forestation regulated by soil nitrogen
Nature Communications, 2023 Forestation is regarded as an effective strategy for increasing terrestrial carbon sequestration. However, its carbon sink potential remains uncertain due to the scarcity of large-scale sampling data and limited knowledge of the linkage between plant and
