Empirical evidence for a process-based model of health-related quality of life using network analysis by Nicolette Stogios, Nicolette Stogios, Troy Francis, Troy Francis, Rachel G. Peiris, Aleksandra Stanimirovic, Aleksandra Stanimirovic, Valeria Rac, Valeria Rac, Robert P. Nolan, Robert P. Nolan

“…In support of this approach, we developed a novel HRQL assessment tool called the EUROIA: EvalUation of goal-diRected activities to prOmote wellbeIng and heAlth, which uses self-report data to assess the frequency with which individuals engage in a sample of goal-directed activities in pursuit of living well.MethodsWe conducted a network analysis to evaluate the hypothesis that the EUROIA subscales would demonstrate a meaningful pattern of associations with an established HRQL measure and associated indices of psychosocial functioning and efficacy in self-managing a chronic medical condition.ResultsThe EUROIA is associated with established indices of HRQL in a manner that is theoretically consistent with our process-based model. …”

Genomic evolution and ecotype divergence in thraustochytrids: insights from comparative genomics and phylogenomics by Yingying Wen, Xingyu Zhu, Jiaqian Li, Xiuping Liu, Qixuan Li, Guangyi Wang, Guangyi Wang

“…Understanding the mechanisms underlying their metabolic ecotype evolution is pivotal for revealing how these organisms drive the marine carbon cycle and adapt to diverse environments.MethodsIn this study, we report a high-quality genome of Aurantiochytrium sp. TWZ-97 and conduct a comparative genomics analysis of thraustochytrid strains to investigate ecotype-specific differences in genome structure, evolutionary-developmental relationships, and core functional genes.ResultsComparative genomics revealed that “anabolic” strains (TWZ-97, Mn4, SW8) possess larger genomes with lower gene density, whereas “catabolic” strains (S-28, S-429) have smaller, gene-rich genomes with stable repetitive elements. …”

Microbes Under Climate Refugia: Equable Subcommunity Rank Dynamics in Large‐River Deltaic Estuaries by Huaiqiang Liu, Zhenghua Zhong, Juan Xu, Liping Qu, Haijun Liu, Fengfeng Zheng, Chuanlun Zhang, Wei Xie

“…Our results suggest that the microbial subcommunity rank structure in LDEs is persistent, aligning with classic patterns of species abundance distributions. This study emphasizes that, despite differences in their roles, the stable functioning of microbial rank systems is also fundamental to the refugial capacity of ecosystems and should be given equal importance.…”
