A generalist vector-transmitted parasite exhibits population genetic structure among host genera by Vincenzo A. Ellis, Mélanie Duc, Arif Ciloglu, Olof Hellgren, Staffan Bensch

“…However, it is unclear if parasite transmission among host species precludes the establishment of host-specific adaptations and population genetic structure. We assessed the population genetic structure of the vector-transmitted avian haemosporidian parasite Haemoproteus majoris (lineage WW2; n = 34 infections) in a single site in southern Sweden among 10 of its host species. …”

Disturbance intensity drives structural, compositional and diversity attributes in tropical dry forests of Central India by Satendra Kumar Rathaude, Shairq Irtiqa, P.P. Abdul Rahim, Zishan Ahmad Wani, Subashree Kothandaraman, Javid Ahmad Dar

“…A total of 202 species (120 genera, 45 families) of adult trees (≥10 diameter at breast height (DBH)) were recorded across the disturbance intensity gradient, with highest species richness in UDF (175 species) and the lowest in HDF (145 species). A significant variation in the stand structure, species composition, richness and tree diversity (Shannon (H′) and Simpson (D) index) has been found across the disturbance intensity gradients. …”

Extrusion of Heterogeneous Filament‐like Structures: A New Paradigm in Fabricating Soft Mechanical Gradient with Long Span by Akanksha Pragya, Tushar K. Ghosh

“…Soft‐to‐hard material interfaces found in multimaterial systems, such as microelectronics, prosthetics, body armor, and soft robotics, often suffer from mechanical mismatches that compromise their structural integrity overtime. These mismatches occur due to significant differences in mechanical properties, such as stiffness, between soft materials (e.g., polymers and biological tissues) and hard materials (e.g., metals and ceramics). …”
