Ecological multifunctionality of watersheds increases with tree species richness
Abstract Watersheds are natural units and meta-ecosystems of the earth’s land surface providing multiple ecological functions. However, little is known about the biodiversity-ecological multifunctionality relationships of watersheds, particularly regarding how these relationships scale to large and complex landscapes.

Advancing the quantification of land-use intensity in forests: the ForMIX index combining tree species composition, tree removal, deadwood availability, and stand maturity
Abstract Many forests have a long history of human land use, which relates to species communities and ecosystem processes, making robust and quantitative measures of land-use intensity in forests desirable. We here introduce the ForMIX (Forest Management IndeX), a compound index combining altered tree species composition, tree removal, deadwood availability and stand maturity, which are each calculated as the deviation from expectations in a natural old-growth forest reference.

Integrative genotyping and analysis of canine structural variation using long-read and short-read data
Abstract Structural variation makes an important contribution to canine evolution and phenotypic differences. Although recent advances in long-read sequencing have enabled the generation of multiple canine genome assemblies, most prior analyses of structural variation have relied on short-read sequencing.

Characterization of nuclear mitochondrial insertions in canine genome assemblies
Abstract Background: The presence of mitochondrial sequences in the nuclear genome (Numts) confounds analyses of mitochondrial sequence variation and is a potential source of false positives in disease studies. To improve the analysis of mitochondrial variation in canines, we completed a systematic assessment of Numt content across genome assemblies, canine populations and the carnivore lineage.
One to rule them all? Assessing the performance of sustainable forest management indicators against multitaxonomic data for biodiversity conservation
Abstract Several regional initiatives and reporting efforts assess the state of forest biodiversity through broad-scale indicators based on data from national forest inventories. Although valuable, these indicators are essentially indirect and evaluate habitat quantity and quality rather than biodiversity per se. Besides, most of these indicators are applicable at regional or national scales, while their use at a more local level is difficult.
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in plasmon lattice lasers
Abstract Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is key for our understanding of phase transitions and the spontaneous emergence of order. In this work, we report that, for a two-dimensional (2D) periodic metasurface with gain, SSB occurs in the lasing transition. We study diffractive hexagonal plasmon nanoparticle lattices, where the K-points in momentum space provide two modes that are degenerate in frequency and identically distributed in space.
A map of canine sequence variation relative to a Greenland wolf outgroup
Abstract For over 15 years, canine genetics research relied on a reference assembly from a Boxer breed dog named Tasha (i.e., canFam3.1). Recent advances in long-read sequencing and genome assembly have led to the development of numerous high-quality assemblies from diverse canines. These assemblies represent notable improvements in completeness, contiguity, and the representation of gene promoters and gene models.

The global biogeography of tree leaf form and habit - Nature Plants
|
Abstract Understanding what controls global leaf type variation in trees is crucial for comprehending their role in terrestrial ecosystems, including carbon, water and nutrient dynamics. Yet our understanding of the factors influencing forest leaf types remains incomplete, leaving us uncertain about the global proportions of needle-leaved, broadleaved, evergreen and deciduous trees.

Predictive modeling of oocyte maternal mRNA features of five mammalian species reveals potential shared and species-restricted regulators during maturation | Physiological Genomics
Oocyte maturation is accompanied by changes in abundances of thousands of mRNAs, many degraded and many preferentially stabilized.
Soft matter in the loop - Nature Physics
Currently, a general framework explaining the fundamental dynamic transitions from solid to fluid of mechanically probed soft materials is lacking. Now, a unifying van der Waals-like model is proposed that describes the dynamic solid–liquid transition in the rheology of these materials. Soft materials can be both solid and liquid; think of shaving foam that you can gently drape on your hand like a solid but rub on your skin like a liquid by pushing just a bit harder.

Phases of surface-confined trivalent colloidal particles
Phases of surface-confined trivalent colloidal particles† Piet J. M. Swinkels, a Zhe Gong, b Stefano Sacanna, b Eva G. Noya c and Peter Schall *d Abstract Patchy colloids promise the design and modelling of complex materials, but the realization of equilibrium patchy particle structures remains challenging. Here, we assemble pseudo-trivalent particles and elucidate their phase behaviour when confined to a plane.
Insect decline in forests depends on species’ traits and may be mitigated by management - Communications Biology
Abstract Insects are declining, but the underlying drivers and differences in responses between species are still largely unclear. Despite the importance of forests, insect trends therein have received little attention. Using 10 years of standardized data (120,996 individuals; 1,805 species) from 140 sites in Germany, we show that declines occurred in most sites and species across trophic groups.
Landscape management strategies for multifunctionality and social equity - Nature Sustainability

Co-limitation towards lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients - Nature Ecology & Evolution
|
Abstract The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most recognized global patterns of species richness exhibited across a wide range of taxa. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed in the past two centuries to explain LDG, but rigorous tests of the drivers of LDGs have been limited by a lack of high-quality global species richness data.

Comment on “Forest microclimate dynamics drive plant responses to warming”
Abstract Zellweger et al. (Reports, 15 May 2020, p. 772) claimed that a microclimatic debt, mainly controlled by canopy buffering, evolved in European forest understories. However, their analysis is based on circularity, as they explained the sum of three components by one of these components. The response of the understory to the thermal environment is generally weak. In their recent paper, Zellweger et al.
Emergence of new materials for exploiting highly efficient carrier multiplication in photovoltaics
Pump-probe transient optical absorption (TA) spectroscopy is the most widely used technique to characterize CM. In TA experiments, the sample is excited by a pump laser pulse creating electron-hole pairs (excitons or free charge carriers), which are probed by a time-delayed optical probe pulse to obtain the differential absorption (Δ, where A is the absorbance) as a function of time.

Targeting MEK in a translational model of histiocytic sarcoma
AbstractHistiocytic sarcoma in humans is an aggressive orphan disease with a poor prognosis as treatment options are limited. Dogs are the only species that spontaneously develops histiocytic sarcoma with an appreciable frequency, and may have value as a translational model system. In the current study, high throughput drug screening utilizing histiocytic sarcoma cells isolated from canine neoplasms identified these cells as particularly sensitive to a MEK inhibitor, trametinib.
Angewandte Chemie International Edition
Solar devices based on semiconductor nanoparticles require the use of conductive ligands; however, replacing the native, insulating ligands with conductive metal chalcogenide complexes introduces structural defects within the crystalline nanostructure that act as traps for charge carriers.
