A systematic review of laboratory investigations into the pathogenesis of avian influenza viruses in wild avifauna of North America

This study reviews laboratory studies on avian influenza virus infection in wild North American birds to assess susceptibility and transmission parameters.

High-efficiency base editing for Stargardt disease in mice, non-human primates, and human retina tissue

This study develops a base-editing strategy to correct the ABCA4 mutation in mice, non-human primates, and human retinal tissue, achieving high editing rates in vivo.

Structural insights into TRPV4-Rho GTPase signaling complex function and disease

The paper presents cryo-EM structures of TRPV4-RhoA complexes in different states, revealing how their interaction regulates TRPV4 function and contributes to neuromuscular disease.

Genomic resolution of cryptic species diversity in chipmunks

The paper uses genomic data to identify cryptic species within western chipmunks, revealing two new lineages and a distinct species previously unrecognized as a separate entity.

Insights into the diversity and survival strategies of soil bacterial isolates from the Atacama Desert

This study isolates and characterizes 74 bacterial strains from Atacama Desert soil, revealing their pigmentation, biofilm formation, antibiotic production, and resistance, highlighting survival strategies in extreme environments.

Calories delivered by nonhuman primate foraging enrichment: Data and methods to inform decisions concerning the dietary consequences of enrichment

The paper assesses caloric content and cost of foraging puzzles for nonhuman primates to inform dietary management decisions.

Impending regeneration failure of the IUCN Vulnerable Borneo ironwood (Eusideroxylon zwageri)

The study shows declining regeneration of Borneo ironwood due to seedling herbivory and aggregation, highlighting conservation needs.

The choice of tree prior and molecular clock does not substantially affect phylogenetic inferences of diversification rates

This study evaluates how tree priors and molecular clocks affect diversification rate estimates in Bayesian phylogenetics, finding minimal impact when data are informative and substitution rates are low-to-moderate.
