Correlated responses to selection across diverse environments during experimental evolution of Tetrahymena thermophila by Jason Tarkington, Rebecca A. Zufall

“…Abstract Correlated responses to selection have long been observed and studied; however, it remains unclear when they will arise, and in what direction. To contribute to a growing understanding of correlated responses to selection, we used experimental evolution of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila to study direct and correlated responses in a variety of different environmental conditions. …”

Functional contrast across the gray-white matter boundary by Muwei Li, Lyuan Xu, Soyoung Choi, Yuanyuan Qin, Fei Gao, Kurt G. Schilling, Yurui Gao, Zhongliang Zu, Adam W. Anderson, Zhaohua Ding, John C. Gore

“…This study introduces two metrics: gray-white matter functional connectivity, which captures temporal synchrony across the boundary, and gray-white blood oxygenation-level dependent power ratio, which reflects differences in signal amplitude. Gray-white matter functional connectivity aligns with patterns of myelination, long-range connectivity, and sensorimotor organization, suggesting efficient signal transmission. …”

Determining optimum plant density and nitrogen rate using field experiment and model simulation by Bizuwork Tafes Desta, Sisay Eshetu Tesema, Gebrekidan Feleke Mekuria, Almaz Meseret Gezahegn, Alemayehu Zemede Lemma

“…The model was further evaluated with the experimental data conducted during the 2020 cropping season under four plant densities and four nitrogen fertilizer rates. Because of differences in temperature and rainfall patterns during the potential growing season, seasonal analysis was used to determine the optimum plant density and N rate using 37 years (1985–2022) of historical weather data. …”
