Divergence time and environmental similarity predict the strength of morphological convergence in stick and leaf insects.

Independent evolution of similar traits in lineages inhabiting similar environments (convergent or repeated evolution) is often taken as evidence for adaptation by natural selection, and used to illustrate the predictability of evolution. Yet convergence is rarely perfect for two reasons. First, environments may not be as similar as they appear.

Article Synopsis
- A serological and coproscopic survey was conducted on Polish goats to investigate the prevalence of the common liver fluke, focusing on 33 randomly selected herds between 2014 and 2022.
- Results showed that 33.3% of herds had at least one seropositive goat, but the overall rate of infected goats was only 1.2%, indicating low infection rates.
- The study concluded that liver fluke infection in goats is sporadic and less common compared to its prevalence in cattle and sheep, suggesting minimal treatment or prevention measures are necessary for goats.
Intensifying droughts render more Sahel drylands unsuitable for cultivation.

Two-fifth of the world's population will be confronted by dire land and water shortage for food production by 2050. Here we provide nuanced insights into the Sahel dryland dynamics and rationale behind its underperforming croplands amid climate extremes. We develop a gridded multi-criteria drought index for the growing season (June-October) and analyse its spatial and temporal degree of uniformity to designate the drought, climate and cultivable zones.

Although members of the genus share specific morphological, metabolic, and genomic traits, the diversity of niches and lifestyles adopted by the family members is vast. One species of the group, thrives as a colonizer of plant roots and frequently inhabits soils polluted with various types of chemical waste. Owing to a combination of historical contingencies and inherent qualities, a particular strain, KT2440, emerged time ago as an archetype of an environmental microorganism amenable to recombinant DNA technologies, which was also capable of catabolizing chemical pollutants.

Lung cancer, the leading cause of malignancy-related deaths worldwide, demands proactive measures to mitigate its impact. Low-dose computer tomography (LDCT) has emerged as a promising tool for secondary prevention through lung cancer screening (LCS). The HUNCHEST study, inspired by the success of international trials, including the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial and the Dutch NELSON study, embarked on the first LDCT-based LCS program in Hungary.
