Dawn of the dinosaurs demonstrates early diversification bursts and a potential role for neutral dynamics during major evolutionary radiations

Abstract Major radiations have given rise to huge swathes of life on Earth, and understanding their dynamics reveals the process of biodiversity generation itself. The rise of dinosaurs and other archosaurs during the Triassic was a spectacular example of such a radiation; it set...

TaxoFlow: a step-by-step tutorial to build a nextflow pipeline for metagenomics taxonomic classification

Reproducibility challenges scientific reporting, including metagenomics, where increasingly complex bioinformatics pipelines hinder transparency, comparability, and customization for life science students globally. To address this demanding task, we built an open, interactive and...

3A Cyanide‐Bridged Ru–Fe Supramolecular Photocatalyst for Efficient CO 2 Reduction

Supramolecular control over electron transfer is a key challenge in artificial photosynthesis. Here, we report a cyano‐bridged Ru–Fe supramolecular photocatalyst that self‐assembles in solution through spontaneous coordination. This preorganized architecture enables ultrafast exc...

LOCAL TRADITION IN EARLY GREEK HEXAMETER

Abstract This article discusses local tradition and Panhellenism in early epos. Examination of three characters (Nestor, Iris and Sarpedon) challenges the popular model of isolated local traditions undergoing a Panhellenic synthesis around the eighth century. Instead, it is argue...

Association of body mass index categories with healthcare use and health expenditures in Switzerland: a cross-sectional, community-based study

BACKGROUND: Increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with increased medical costs, but no information is available for Switzerland. We investigated the association of individual BMI categories with healthcare use and healthcare expenditures. METHODS: Data from an ongoing pro...
