Mountain guides facing the effects of climate change. What perceptions and adaptation strategies at the foot of Mont Blanc? by Emmanuel Salim, Jacques Mourey, Ludovic Ravanel, Pietro Picco, Christophe Gauchon

“…As a result, they are probably the most impacted professionals but, at the same time, they are also those who can produce a lot of adaptation strategies. The aim of this paper is therefore to identify how mountain guides from Chamonix and Courmayeur are impacted and the different adaptation strategies they developed to face climate change. …”

Urban flood mapping by fully mining and adaptive fusion of the polarimetric and spatial information of Sentinel-1 images by Qi Zhang, Xiangyun Hu

“…Then, an ML-based unsupervised classification model assisted by uncertainty analysis based on the Gaussian mixture model is designed and implemented for flood mapping at different segmentation scales. Finally, guided by the minimum uncertainty, an adaptive fusion strategy of multi-scale information is proposed to integrate the flood mapping results at different scales for producing the final flood map. …”

Characterization of two novel species of the genus Flagellimonas reveals the key role of vertical inheritance in the evolution of alginate utilization loci by Juan Yu, Jia-Wei Gao, Ke Cao, Dong-Yan He, Lin Xu, Ge-Yi Fu, Cong Sun

“…This study highlights the important role of vertical inheritance in the evolution of AULs and proves that the discrepancy in AUL structure can arouse phenotypic differences, providing a new perspective on the evolution of AUL and the niche adaptation mechanism of Flavobacteriaceae strains.IMPORTANCEFlavobacteriaceae play an important role in the marine carbon cycle with their noteworthy ability in algal polysaccharides degradation, which is primarily reliant on diverse polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). …”

Functional validation of hydrophobic adaptation to physiological temperature in the small heat shock protein αA-crystallin. by Mason Posner, Andor J Kiss, Jackie Skiba, Amy Drossman, Monika B Dolinska, J Fielding Hejtmancik, Yuri V Sergeev

“…Using sequence and structural modeling analysis we identified specific amino acid differences between the warm adapted zebrafish and cold adapted Antarctic toothfish that could contribute to these correlations and validated the functional consequences of three specific hydrophobicity-altering amino acid substitutions in αA-crystallin. …”

Gibberellic acid-mediated transcriptional divergence underlies cold stress adaptation in two diploid cotton species by Dong Wang, Juyun Zheng, Ke Liu, Yanchao Xu, Dingsha Jin

“…Conclusion These findings indicate that expression divergence in GA-mediated pathways between sister species has driven adaptive evolution in cold stress tolerance. This study not only advances our understanding of cold adaptation mechanisms in cotton but also provides genetic insights for improving cold tolerance in cultivated varieties through targeted breeding and genetic engineering.…”

Genotypic and functional impact of HIV-1 adaptation to its host population during the North American epidemic. by Laura A Cotton, Xiaomei T Kuang, Anh Q Le, Jonathan M Carlson, Benjamin Chan, Denis R Chopera, Chanson J Brumme, Tristan J Markle, Eric Martin, Aniqa Shahid, Gursev Anmole, Philip Mwimanzi, Pauline Nassab, Kali A Penney, Manal A Rahman, M-J Milloy, Martin T Schechter, Martin Markowitz, Mary Carrington, Bruce D Walker, Theresa Wagner, Susan Buchbinder, Jonathan Fuchs, Beryl Koblin, Kenneth H Mayer, P Richard Harrigan, Mark A Brockman, Art F Y Poon, Zabrina L Brumme

“…Furthermore, HLA-associated polymorphisms identified in historic HIV sequences were consistent with those detectable today, with none identified that could explain the few HIV codons where the inferred epidemic ancestor differed from the modern consensus. Results are therefore consistent with slow HIV adaptation to HLA, but at a rate unlikely to yield imminent negative implications for cellular immunity, at least in North America. …”

Tracing the path from conservation to expansion evolutionary insights into NLR genes in oleaceae by Saba Parvez, Maryam Asif, Alizay Ahmad, Iqra Javaid, Muhammad Zaman Rasheed, Romana Iftikhar, Nada H. Aljarba, Rabia Zafar, Aqsa sarwar, Rao Sohail Ahmed Khan, Saad Serfraz

“…In contrast, the genus Olea (olives) has undergone extensive gene expansion driven by recent duplications and significant birth of novel NLR gene families. These differences in NLR gene evolution likely enhance Olea's ability to recognize diverse pathogens through recent expansions, while Fraxinus maintains specialized immune responses through conserved genes, with potential trade-offs in pathogen adaptation and energy efficiency. …”
