Methanomethylovorans are the dominant dimethylsulfide-degrading methanogens in gravel and sandy river sediment microcosms
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024-07-20)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>Rivers and streams are important components of the global carbon cycle and methane budget. However, our understanding of the microbial ... -
Estimation of maximum body size in fossil species: A case study using Tyrannosaurus rex
(Wiley, 2024-07-24)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Among extant species, the ability to sample the extremes of body size—one of the most useful predictors of an individual's ecology—is highly unlikely. This improbability is further ... -
Intraspecific variation in the pterosaur Rhamphorhynchus muensteri—implications for flight and socio-sexual signaling
(PeerJ, 2024-07-18)Pterosaurs were the first powered flying vertebrates, with a fossil record that stretches back to about 230 million years before present. Most species are only known from one to three specimens, which are most often ... -
The Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics Project: probing the evolution of symbiosis across the Tree of Life
(F1000Research, 2024-06-10)We present the Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics Project, a global collaboration to generate high quality genome sequences for a wide range of eukaryotes and their microbial symbionts. Launched under the Symbiosis in Aquatic ... -
Behaviour of honeybees integrated into bumblebee nests and the responses of their hosts
(Springer Nature, 2024-07-09)Social interactions with heterospecifics can yield important insights into the flexibility of behaviour and the role of learning in communication. Recently, the honeybee dance, a unique symbolic communication system to ... -
Idiosyncratic and shared contributions shape impressions from voices and faces
(Elsevier, 2024-07-18)Voices elicit rich first impressions of what the person we are hearing might be like. Research stresses that these impressions from voices are shared across different listeners, such that people on average agree which ... -
Thresholds for adding degraded tropical forest to the conservation estate
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024-07-17)Logged and disturbed forests are often viewed as degraded and depauperate environments compared with primary forest. However, they are dynamic ecosystems1 that provide refugia for large amounts of biodiversity2,3, so we ... -

Updating Prospective Self-Efficacy Beliefs About Cardiac Interoception in Anorexia Nervosa: An Experimental and Computational Study.
(2024)Patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) typically hold altered beliefs about their body that they struggle to update, including global, prospective beliefs about their ability to know and regulate their body and particularly ... -
DNA methylation enables recurrent endogenization of giant viruses in an animal relative.
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2024-07-12)5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is a widespread silencing mechanism that controls genomic parasites. In eukaryotes, 5mC has gained complex roles in gene regulation beyond parasite control, yet 5mC has also been lost in many lineages. ... -
Reciprocal developmental pathways between future-related thinking and symptoms of adolescent depression and anxiety: A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies.
(2024-07-08)Adolescence is a time when important decisions about the future are made and vulnerability to mental health problems increases. We reviewed longitudinal studies examining the reciprocal pathways between future-related ... -
A simple optical flow model explains why certain object viewpoints are special
(The Royal Society, 2024-07-10)<jats:p>A core challenge in perception is recognizing objects across the highly variable retinal input that occurs when objects are viewed from different directions (e.g. front versus side views). It has long been known ... -
Mid‐childhood autism sibling recurrence in infants with a family history of autism
(Wiley, 2024-07-08)Autism sibling recurrence in prospective infant family history studies is ~20% at 3 years but systematic follow-up to mid-childhood is rare. In population and clinical cohorts autism is not recognized in some children until ... -
Selectivity filter mutations shift ion permeation mechanism in potassium channels
(Oxford University Press, 2024)Potassium (K+) channels combine high conductance with high ion selectivity. To explain this efficiency, two molecular mechanisms have been proposed. The ‘direct knock-on’ mechanism is defined by water-free K+ permeation ... -
