This study investigates birthdate patterns in a context of well-established civil registers and intensive migration inflows. Leveraging extensive Spanish microdata on residential variation flows and the Spanish Municipality Register, this research reveals new facets of the distributions of immigrants' birthdates across days of the month that differ significantly from those of non-migrants. The registered days of the month for birthdates are categorized into six distinct types based on the assumption that the anomalous distributions of birthdates will display rounding or simplifying patterns (digit preferences).

- A study comparing laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) and perineal stapler resection (PSR) in elderly patients with external full-thickness rectal prolapse showed that LVMR resulted in significantly fewer complications and lower recurrence rates.
- LVMR was linked to better postoperative outcomes, including less incontinence, less constipation, and higher patient satisfaction compared to PSR.
- Key predictors for prolapse recurrence included the surgical method used (LVMR associated with a 93% reduction in risk), the duration of symptoms, and the length of the prolapse.
Article Synopsis
- - The European green woodpecker (Picus viridis) has a newly assembled genome that is 1.28 billion base pairs long, created using advanced sequencing techniques.
- - This genome assembly captures 89.4% of known bird genes, containing 15,805 genes and around 30.1% repetitive elements, offering a detailed genetic profile of the species.
- - Comparisons with the chicken genome reveal the fragmented structure of the woodpecker's genome, and additional resequencing of historical and contemporary samples aims to enhance understanding of the species' population history.
Article Synopsis
- The big data revolution allows for the collection and analysis of massive datasets, but data protection laws pose challenges to this potential.
- A new database called DEMOSPA0521 was created by processing over 868 million demographic records from Spain spanning 17 years (2005-2021).
- This database consists of 15 files with various datasets related to population statistics, along with R-Code files for summarizing the data, enabling both validation of previous findings and exploration of new research questions.
The genomic processes enabling speciation and species coexistence in sympatry are still largely unknown. Here we describe the whole-genome sequencing and assembly of 3 closely related species from the butterfly genus Morpho: Morpho achilles (Linnaeus, 1758), Morpho helenor (Cramer, 1776), and Morpho deidamia (Höbner, 1819). These large blue butterflies are emblematic species of the Amazonian rainforest.
