Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables with Binary-driven Mass Loss during Nova Eruptions

The Astrophysical Journal
The discrepancies between observations and theoretical predictions of cataclysmic variables (CVs) suggest that there exists unknown angular-momentum-loss mechanism(s) besides magnetic braking and gravitational radiation.

Matching habitat choice could be brightness‐based instead of hue‐based in green‐brown polymorphic grasshoppers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

Seasonality of fruiting phenology, hunting behaviour and taste preferences in Madagascar's Makira Protected Area

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract For many people around the world, especially in Indigenous communities, seasonal changes affect the availability and desirability of different types of food. Assessing the relationship between seasonality, sociocultural preferences and hunting patterns is vital for understanding how these populations harness seasonal food production dynamics ...

The Expanding Role of Gene Sequencing in Shaping Fetal Therapies: Clinical and Ethical Considerations

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In utero interventions are transformative in addressing genetic and anatomic conditions during fetal development. Next generation sequencing enables early genetic testing, playing a pivotal role in prenatal decision‐making by supporting risk stratification, precise and timely diagnosis, which directly informs eligibility for fetal surgical and

The Evolution of Hypervelocity Supernova Survivors and the Outcomes of Interacting Double White Dwarf Binaries

The Astrophysical Journal
The recent prediction and discovery of hypervelocity supernova survivors has provided strong evidence that the “dynamically driven double-degenerate double-detonation” (D ^6 ) Type Ia supernova scenario occurs in nature.

Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Asteroseismology of white dwarf stars

, 2014
Most of low- and intermediate-mass stars that populate the Universe will end their lives as white dwarf stars. These ancient stellar remnants have encrypted inside a precious record of the evolutionary history of the progenitor stars, providing a wealth of information about the evolution of stars, star formation, and the age of a variety of stellar ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Predicted incidence of Jupiter-like planets around white dwarfs

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Gas-giant planets and brown dwarfs have been discovered in large numbers around main-sequence stars and even evolved stars. In contrast, and despite ongoing imaging surveys using state-of-the-art facilities, only a handful of substellar ...

Loss Behavior in Supervised Learning With Entangled States

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
Entanglement in training samples supports quantum supervised learning algorithm in obtaining solutions of low generalization error. Using analytical as well as numerical methods, this work shows that the positive effect of entanglement on model after training has negative consequences for the trainability of the model itself, while showing the ...
