Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

Biodiversity shapes tree species aggregations in tropical forests [PDF]

, 2008
Spatial patterns of conspecific trees are considered as the consequences of biological interactions and environmental influences. They also reflect species interactions in plant communities.

Nitrogen‐Site Isomerism Unlocks Exciton Dissociation in Vinylene‐Linked COF‐Based Photocatalysts

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Two regioisomeric vinylene‐linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs) constructed from diazine units with different nitrogen positions are developed for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Although structurally similar, the isomeric COFs exhibit distinct electron distribution and charge‐separation behaviors, leading to a more than twofold ...

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Estuarine benthic diversity declines with temperature across a tropical–temperate gradient

Ecography, EarlyView.
Estuarine benthic sediments are important habitats that support ecosystem health and productivity, but the drivers of large‐scale patterns in benthic diversity are not well documented. Using 18S amplicon sequencing of 425 sediment DNA samples from estuaries spanning 20° of latitude along Australia's east coast, we assessed tropical–temperate patterns ...

Global distribution of avian plumage coloration and patterning: the relative influence of climate, ecology, and sexual selection

Ecography, EarlyView.
Animal coloration exhibits substantial biogeographic variation, reflecting complex adaptations to both abiotic and biotic environments. Although the evolutionary mechanisms underlying avian plumage coloration have been widely studied, geographic variation in plumage patterning has received far less attention.

Thermal niche breadth shapes regional elevational range sizes of tropical‐like mountain stream insects: evidence for Janzen's tropical mountain passes hypothesis

Ecography, EarlyView.
The core of Janzen's tropical mountain passes hypothesis is that relatively stable annual temperature variation limits species' thermal tolerances breadth, which, in combination with steep elevational temperature gradients, constrains the elevational distributions of these species. In addition to thermal niche breadth, elevational ranges were shaped by

Impact of Sahelian Climate Variables on Solar Photovoltaic Output

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is a critical pathway for advancing the energy transition in the Sahel. However, PV module performance in this region is strongly constrained by extreme climatic conditions. This study investigates the effects of (1) wind speed, (2) relative humidity, (3) temperature, (4) dust deposition, and (5) solar irradiance
