Plant CSR strategies and community assembly differ across water- and energy-limited alpine ecosystems

Understanding plant strategies is critical for predicting biodiversity responses to global change. Here we show Grime’s Competitor, Stress-tolerator, and Ruderal (CSR) strategies and assemblages at 543 plots in 246 sites across alpine ecosystems on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, by...

HiFi-Det: Collaborative Multi-Scale Frequency-Domain Feature Optimization for Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Detection in Complex Underwater Environments

Outbreaks of the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (COTS, Acanthaster spp.) are a leading biological driver of coral cover loss, making timely and accurate population monitoring essential for reef management. Conventional diver-based surveys are labor-intensive and prone to missed detecti...

An impaired excitatory-inhibitory balance in the right inferior temporal gyrus of patients with Alzheimer's disease correlated with executive function

Preliminary research indicates that an imbalance between excitation and inhibition may be an early pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease. However, the relevant brain networks, neurotransmitters and genetic mechanisms are still unclear. This study enrolled 27 patients with A...

Contrasting seasonal roles of external forcing and internal variability in East Asian temperature

How to reliably separate external forcing (EXF) and internal variability (IV) components of regional temperature variation is of critical importance in East Asia. We implement here an EOF-based semi-empirical framework to avoid spurious teleconnections often present with conventi...

A Mitogenome-Based Phylogenetic Framework for Mantidae (Mantodea: Mantoidea): Systematic Implications and Spatio-Temporal Dynamics

Mantidae exhibits the most extensive adaptive radiation within the order Mantodea; however, studies elucidating their internal phylogenetic relationships and spatio-temporal diversification patterns remain scarce. This study aims to resolve the long-standing taxonomic uncertainti...

CNN-GRU-KAN: A Novel Multi-Branch Framework for Parkinson’s Disease Detection Based on Gait Classification

Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis and severity assessment increasingly rely on gait analysis. To capture complex gait dynamics from limited sensor data, we propose a novel multi-branch framework integrating a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), a bidirectional...

Youth migration crisis of the 21st century: a comprehensive moderated mediation analysis

The 21st century has witnessed a profound youth migration crisis, particularly in developing countries, where brain drain disrupts all sectors of society. This study examines the factors influencing youth migration, focusing on the mediating role of political factors and the mode...

Regulating Uniform Zinc Deposition via Covalently Tethered Imidazolium Cations in Polyacrylamide Hydrogel Electrolytes for Stable Aqueous Zinc Batteries

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising candidates for next‐generation energy storage due to their intrinsic safety and low cost. However, the uncontrollable zinc dendrite growth and interfacial side reactions limit their cycling stability and practical applicat...

External‐Field‐Enhanced Helmholtz‐Layer Local Charge Density Enables C─C Coupling in Pure‐H 2 O‐Fed CO 2 Electroreduction To C 2+ Products

ABSTRACT Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (ECO 2 R) is a promising decarbonization technology but is limited by the trade‐off between catalytic performance and system stability. Here, we present an external‐field‐assisted strategy to enhance the local charge density of the Helmholt...

DFT Study on EfficientElectrocatalytic Nitric OxideReduction to Hydroxylamine over TM/Ti3C2O2 in Aqueous Solution

Abstract Electrocatalytic selective reduction of nitric oxide (NORR) provides a feasible pathway for the green synthesis of hydroxylamine (NH2OH) under mild conditions. Maintaining N–O bond integrity is critical for NH2OH selectivity, as it prevents the formation of ammonia. Sing...
