title: Quantum mechanical double slit for molecular scattering

description: Interference observed in a double-slit experiment most conclusively
 demonstrates the wave properties of particles. We construct a quantum
 mechanical double-slit interferometer by rovibrationally exciting D2 (v=2,
 j=2) molecules in a biaxial state using Stark-induced adiabatic Raman
 passage. In D2(v=2, j=2)→D2(v=2, j'=0) rotational relaxation via a
 cold collision with ground state He, the entangled bond axis orientations
 in the biaxial state act as two slits generating two indistinguishable
 quantum mechanical pathways connecting initial and final states of the
 colliding system. The interference disappears when we decouple the two
 orientations of the bond axis by separately constructing the uniaxial
 states of D2, unequivocally establishing the double-slit action of the
 biaxial state. This double slit opens new possibilities in the coherent
 control of molecular collisions.

title: Data for influence of avocado orchard landscapes on amphibians and reptiles in the trans-Mexican volcanic belt

description: This database was used to evaluate the response of the local
 herpetofauna to conversion of POF to avocado orchards (AO) in the
 trans-Mexican volcanic belt in Western Mexico (Michoacán state). We also
 explored the effects of forest cover on species that differ in their
 levels of habitat specialization. In the avocado belt in Michoacan, we
 sampled 12 sites representing a gradient of AO embedded in native POF to
 evaluate the variation in structure of local assemblages of amphibians and
 reptiles. Reduction of POF cover negatively affected specialist frog and
 snake species, but this relationship varied among buffers around sampling
 sites. Generalist species of amphibians and lizards showed increased
 abundances and richness in sites with low POF cover, whereas snake
 richness and abundance were higher in sites with high POF cover. Our study
 suggests that POF conversion to AO is a driver favoring the persistence
 and success of generalist but not specialist herpetofauna species.
 Therefore, to conserve the diversity of amphibians and reptiles in these
 agroecosystems, it is important to ensure high proportion of POF patches.

title: Cascading impacts of earthquakes and extreme heatwaves have destroyed populations of an iconic marine foundation species

description: Aim: Ecologists traditionally study how contemporary local
 processes, such as biological interactions and physical stressors, affect
 the distribution and abundance of organisms. By comparison, biogeographers
 study the distribution of the same organisms, but focus on historic,
 larger-scale processes that can cause mass mortalities, such as
 earthquakes. Here we document cascading effects of rare biogeographical
 (seismic) and more common ecological (temperature-related) processes on
 the distribution and abundances of coastal foundation species. Location:
 Intertidal wave-exposed rocky reefs around Kaikōura, New Zealand,
 dominated by large, long-lived, and iconic southern bull kelps (Durvillaea
 antarctica and Durvillaea willana). Methods: In November 2016, a
 7.8 Mw earthquake uplifted the coastline around Kaikōura by up to 2 m, and
 a year later the region experienced the hottest summer on record.
 Extensive sampling of intertidal communities over 15 km coastline were
 done shortly after the earthquake and heatwaves and 4 years after the
 earthquake. Results: Durvillaea lost 75% of its canopy to uplift
 and the heatwaves reduced canopies that had survived the uplift by an
 additional 35%. The survey done four years after the earthquake showed
 that Durvillaea had not recovered, and that the intertidal zone in many
 places now was dominated by small turfs and foliose seaweed. Main
 conclusions: Cascading impacts from seismic uplift and heatwaves
 have destroyed populations of Durvillaea around Kaikōura. Surviving
 smaller and sparser Durvillaea patches will likely compromise capacity for
 self-replacement and lower resilience to future stressors. These results
 are discussed in a global biogeographical-ecological context of seismic
 activity and extreme heatwaves, and highlight that these events, which are
 not particularly rare in a geological context, may have common
 long-lasting ecological legacies.

title: Bimodal activity of diurnal flower visitation at high elevation

description: Successful pollination in animal-pollinated plants depends on the temporal
 overlap between flower presentation and pollinator foraging activity.
 Variation in the temporal dimension of plant-pollinator networks has been
 investigated intensely across flowering seasons. However, over the course
 of a day, the dynamics of plant-pollinator interactions may vary strongly
 due environmental fluctuations. It is usually assumed there is a unimodal,
 diurnal, activity pattern, while alternative multi-modal types of activity
 patterns are often neglected and deserve greater investigation. Here, we
 quantified the daily activity pattern of flower visitors in two different
 habitats contrasting high elevation meadows versus forests in Southwest
 China to investigate the role of abiotic conditions in the temporal
 dynamics of plant-pollinator interactions. We examined diurnal activity
 patterns for the entire pollinator community. Pollinator groups may differ
 in their ability to adapt to habitats and abiotic conditions, which might
 be displayed in their patterns of activity. We hypothesized, that 1)
 pollinator communities show multi-modal activity patterns, 2) patterns
 differ between pollinator groups and habitat types, and 3) abiotic
 conditions explain observed activity patterns. In total, we collected 4988
 flower visitors belonging to six functional groups. There was a bimodal
 activity pattern when looking at the entire pollinator community, and in
 five out of six flower visitor groups (exempting solitary bees).
 Bumblebees, honeybees, dipterans, lepidopterans, and other insects showed
 activity peaks in the morning and afternoon, whereas solitary bees were
 most active at midday. Activity of all six pollinator groups increased as
 solar radiation increased and then decreased after reaching a certain
 threshold. Our findings suggest that in habitats at higher elevations, a
 bimodal activity pattern of flower visitation is commonly employed across
 most pollinator groups that are diurnal foragers. This pattern may be
 caused by insects avoiding overheating due to elevated temperatures when
 exposed to high solar radiation at midday.

title: Reassessment of the proteomic composition and function of extracellular vesicles in the seminal plasma

description: Seminal plasma contains a high concentration of extracellular vesicles
 (EVs). The heterogeneity of small EVs or the presence of non-vesicular
 extracellular matter（NV） pose major obstacles in understanding the
 composition and function of seminal EVs. In this study, we employed
 high-resolution density gradient fractionation to accurately characterize
 the composition and function of seminal EVs and NV. We found that the
 seminal EVs could be divided into three different subtypes, namely
 high-density EV (EV-H), medium-density EV (EV-M), and low-density EV
 (EV-L) after purification using iodixanol,while NV was successfully
 isolated. EVs and NV display different features in size, shape and
 expression of some classic exosome markers. Both EV-H and NV could
 markedly promote sperm motility and capacitation compared with EV-M and
 EV-L, whereas only the NV fraction induced sperm acrosome reaction.
 Proteomic analysis results showed that EV-H, EV-M, EV-L, and NV had
 different protein components and were involved in different physiological
 functions. Further study showed that EV-M might reduce the production of
 sperm intrinsic reactive oxygen species (ROS) through Glutathione
 S-transferase Mu 2 (GSTM2).This study provides novel insights into
 important aspects of seminal EVs constituents and sounder footing to
 explore their functional properties in male fertility.

title: Fossil evidence unveils an early Cambrian origin for Bryozoa

description: Bryozoans (ectoprocts or moss animals) are aquatic, dominantly sessile,
 filter-feeding lophophorates that construct an organic or calcareous
 modular colonial (clonal) exoskeleton. The presence of six major orders of
 bryozoans with advanced polymorphisms in lower Ordovician rocks strongly
 suggests a Cambrian origin for the largest and most diverse lophophorate
 phylum. However, a lack of convincing bryozoan fossils from the Cambrian
 has hampered resolution of the true origins and character assembly of
 earliest members of the group. Here we interpret the millimetric, erect,
 bilaminate, secondarily phosphatised fossil Protomelission gatehousei from
 the early Cambrian of Australia and South China as a potential stem-group
 bryozoan. The monomorphic zooid capsules, modular construction, organic
 composition and simple linear budding growth geometry represent a mixture
 of organic Gymnolaemata and biomineralised Stenolaemata character traits,
 with phylogenetic analyses identifying P. gatehousei as a stem-group
 bryozoan. This aligns the origin of phylum Bryozoa with all other
 skeletonised phyla in Cambrian Age 3, pushing back its first occurrence by
 approximately 35 million years. This reconciles the fossil record with
 molecular clock estimations of an early Cambrian origination and
 subsequent Ordovician radiation of Bryozoa following the acquisition of a
 carbonate skeleton.

title: Association of nephrolithiasis history with adverse outcomes in cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic syndrome

description: Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome significantly impacts a large segment of the general population. The risk factors associated with progression of CKM syndrome as well as all-cause mortality warrant further investigations. In this study, we aimed to assess whether nephrolithiasis history would help to identify the high-risk populations among CKM patients. We conducted a multi-center study involving patients with CKM syndrome at stages 2–3 from 28 urban centers across China. We employed multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations with a history of nephrolithiasis. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were performed to enhance the robustness of our findings. A total of 344,220 CKM patients at stages 2–3 were included in this study. Among the participants, 28,451 had a history of nephrolithiasis. When compared to individuals without nephrolithiasis history, those with the history demonstrated an increased risk of progression to CKM stage 4 (HR 1.52, 95% CI [1.48–1.56]) and all-cause mortality (HR 1.08, 95% CI [1.03–1.14]). Similar results were obtained in the participants with asymptomatic nephrolithiasis. Consistent findings were observed through subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses as well. The history of nephrolithiasis is associated with an elevated risk of incident cardiovascular disease and increased all-cause mortality among CKM patients. These findings highlight the significant role of nephrolithiasis in identifying high-risk populations within CKM patients. This study aimed to understand whether people with a history of kidney stones are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease or face a higher risk of death, especially if they already have Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome - a condition where heart, kidney, and metabolic health problems overlap. We collected health data from over 340,000 patients in stages 2–3 of CKM syndrome across 28 urban hospitals in China. Among them, about 28,000 had a previous history of kidney stones. After long-term follow-up, we found that CKM patients with a history of kidney stones had an approximately 52% higher risk of progressing to advanced CKM stage (where cardiovascular disease occurs) and an approximately 8% higher risk of death from any cause. Even patients with asymptomatic kidney stones showed a similarly increased risk. These findings remained consistent across different groups, regardless of age, sex, kidney function, or the presence of conditions like hypertension or diabetes. This research suggests that a history of kidney stones may serve as an important signal to identify high-risk individuals among CKM patients, helping doctors intervene and monitor them earlier. Further studies are needed to determine whether more proactive prevention or treatment strategies should be adopted for this patient group.

title: Rapid divergent evolution of an annual plant across a latitudinal gradient revealed by seed resurrection

description: Global change is expected to drive short-term evolution of natural
 populations. However, it remains unclear whether different populations are
 changing in unison. Here, we study contemporary evolution of
 growth-related and reproductive traits of three populations of Cyanus
 segetum face to warming and pollinator decline across a latitudinal
 gradient in France. We resurrected stored seeds sampled up to 24 years
 apart from northern, central-western, and southern populations and
 conducted an in situ common-garden experiment. To disentangle neutral from
 selection-driven differentiation, we calculated neutral genetic
 differentiation (FST) and quantitative trait differentiation (QST) between
 temporal samples. We found that phenotypic evolution was divergent across
 populations exhibiting different trends for rosette size, date of
 flowering, and capitula size. By measuring seed set as a proxy of fitness,
 we showed that samples with larger mean capitula size outperformed samples
 with smaller mean capitula size in the western and southern populations.
 Regression of traits on seed set showed that flowering date and capitula
 size are the primary determinants of fitness, and QST-FST comparisons
 indicated that natural selection has likely contributed to the shifts in
 flowering phenology and rosette size. These findings outline the potential
 for rescue of natural populations through contemporary evolution and
 emphasize the complex interplay between spatial and temporal variation in
 species’ responses to global change.
