The Francois' langur () is a rare primate species indicated as endangered and distributed in karst areas in northern Vietnam and southwestern China. However, research limited to specific nature reserves or sites has hampered holistic conservation management. A comprehensive map of the potential distribution for the Francois' langur is essential to advance conservation efforts and ensure coordinated management across regions.

The Bower's Berylmys () is one of the largest rodent species with a wide distribution range in southern China and the Indochinese Peninsula. The taxonomy and evolutionary history of the is still controversial and confusing. In this study, we used two mitochondrial ( and ) and three nuclear (, , and ) genes to estimate the phylogeny, divergence times, and biogeographic history of .

Article Synopsis
- Global climate change poses a significant threat to crop production and food security, making it essential to understand the genetic adaptation of wild relatives for climate-smart breeding.
- Researchers sequenced the genomes of 185 wild soybean accessions from different ecological zones in China, revealing distinct genetic structures influenced by environmental factors and a divergence timeline of about 1 million years.
- The study identified key genes related to local adaptation, including those affecting flowering time and temperature, highlighting a genetically beneficial locus on chromosome 19 that supports adaptability to high-latitude environments, which could aid in developing climate-resilient soybean varieties.
