While many species are active during specific time periods throughout the day, there is significant variation across species in preferred daily temporal niche. A new study investigates the molecular changes that occurred in a mammal that has evolved diurnality.

It is consensus that clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes have their origin in environmental bacteria, including the large pool of primarily benign species. Yet, for the vast majority of acquired antibiotic resistance genes, the original environmental host(s) has not been identified to date. Closing this knowledge gap could improve our understanding of how antimicrobial resistance proliferates in the bacterial domain and shed light on the crucial step of initial resistance gene mobilization in particular.

It remains unknown how species' populations across their geographic range are constrained by multiple coincident natural and anthropogenic environmental gradients. Conservation actions are likely undermined without this knowledge because the relative importance of the multiple anthropogenic threats is not set within the context of the natural determinants of species' distributions. We introduce the concept of a species 'shadow distribution' to address this knowledge gap, using explainable artificial intelligence to deconstruct the environmental building blocks of current species distributions.

Background: Plastids originated from an ancient endosymbiotic event and evolved into the photosynthetic organelles in plant cells. They absorb light energy and carbon dioxide, converting them into chemical energy and oxygen, which are crucial for plant development and adaptation. However, little is known about the plastid genome to light adaptation.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on using a morphological approach to measure how quickly facetted crystals grow in a solution, specifically looking at the β-form of l-glutamic acid.
- The growth rates of various faces of the crystal were determined through image processing and were found to align with previous research using different methods.
- The research also recorded a transformation in crystal shape from a needle-like appearance to a more tabular form, while providing a new method to estimate changes in solution supersaturation during the growth process.
