Unraveling the Lhasa‐Qiangtang Collision in Western Tibet: Insights From Geochronological and Paleomagnetic Analyses

Geophysical Research Letters
The Lhasa‐Qiangtang collision closed the Meso‐Tethys Ocean, but the exact timing of this event remains hotly debated. Here, we present geochronological and paleomagnetic analyses conducted on Cretaceous volcanics from western Qiangtang to constrain the ...

Comparative Genomics and Functional Evidence for Convergent Adaptation to Hypoxia in Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reveals convergent selection in mammals adapted to hypoxia. Functional assays demonstrate that amino acid mutations reduce oxidative stress, attenuate hypoxia‐induced injury, and modulate the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor (HIF)‐driven hypoxic response.

Juxtaposed slab dehydration, decarbonation and seismotectonic variation beneath the Philippine subduction zone based on 3-D modeling

Scientific Reports
Largescale volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are occurring frequently in the Philippines, and research has shown that slab metamorphism and diversity alter the impacts of subducted oceanic plates by changing water‒carbon productivity and interplate ...

Lodge moraines: a common yet underreported end‐moraine type—a review

Boreas, EarlyView.
Lodge moraines are a distinct genetic type of end moraine formed by submarginal accretion of subglacial till; they are some of the largest end moraines in the world. Although underreported in the literature, they are of equal importance to push, dump and hummocky end moraines. End moraines are formed at glacier ice margins and show the extent of former

Divergent mountain runoff dynamics but declining per capita freshwater availability across the Third Pole by mid-21st century

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
The mountainous Third Pole is a critical source of freshwater for water resource management across Asia, yet the historical and future dynamics of per-capita freshwater supply in this region remain poorly constrained by observations from a coherent, pan ...

Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Evaluation of atmospheric moisture transport to the Tibetan Plateau from 33 CMIP6 models

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Atmospheric moisture transport is pivotal in regulating water resources over the Tibetan Plateau (TP). With the growing concerns about climate change, understanding the evolution of atmospheric moisture transport over the TP has become increasingly ...

Climate‐driven niche filtering limits post‐dispersal establishment and genomic introgression in a riverine shrub

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrated biogeographic analysis and macroecological insights reveal that habitat differences drive genetic differentiation Debregeasia orientalis C. J. Chen, a dominant riparian shrub distributed across multiple biodiversity hotspots, and different lineages vary greatly in adaptability to future climate.

Differential Effects of Age, Linguistic Distance, Gender, and Education on English Proficiency: A Comparative Crosslinguistic Study of Immersion and Nonimmersion Learners

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Do immersion and nonimmersion learners’ English grammaticality judgment test (GJT) scores reflect the same underlying processes in language learning? Drawing on data from Chen and Hartshorne's (2021) study, we argue that they do not. Using generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), we found that age of onset was the strongest predictor of GJT ...
