Geomagnetic intensity variation and deprivation elicit distinct transcriptomic responses in a migratory insect

Abstract Geomagnetic field intensity varies along migratory routes; however, whether migratory insects respond similarly to intensity shifts and geomagnetic deprivation remains unclear. We compared transcriptomes of brown planthoppers, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), reared under ~45...

Mammalian turnover across the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition: New evidence from the ∼3.0 Ma Dongyancun Fauna, North China

The latest Pliocene (∼3.0–2.5 Ma) large mammals were poorly documented in China. Here we report the Dongyancun Fauna from the Sanmenxia Basin, North China, which provides crucial fossil evidence for this interval. We describe new proboscidean and artiodactyl remains, including St...
