Article Abstract
The availability of high-quality genome sequences of great ape species provides unprecedented opportunities for genomic analyses. Herein, we reviewed the recent progress in evolutionary comparative genomic studies of the existing great ape species, including human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, and orangutan. We elaborate discovery on evolutionary history, natural selection, structural variations, and new genes of these species, which is informative for understanding the origin of human-specific phenotypes.

Experimental Evidence That Blood Parasite Infection Affects Incubation Patterns in a Cavity-Nesting Songbird.

Avian chronic hemoparasite infections occur commonly in wild birds, causing adverse effects on host fitness and breeding success. However, the potential impact of such infections on the incubation behavior has been scarcely experimentally studied. We reduced the infection of hemoparasites in wild-breeding female pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca) through medication with primaquine to test the possible effects on incubation patterns compared with non-medicated control females.

In Arabidopsis roots, xylem-pole-pericycle (XPP) cells exhibit dual cell fates by contributing to both lateral root (LR) and cambium formation. Despite the significant progress in understanding these processes individually, the mechanism deciding between these two fates and its contribution on root architecture and secondary growth remain unknown. Here we combined lineage tracing with molecular genetics to study the regulation of fate plasticity of XPP cell lineage.

Nutritional symbioses with microorganisms have profoundly shaped the evolutionary success of ants, enabling them to overcome dietary limitations and thrive across diverse ecological niches and trophic levels. These interactions are particularly crucial for ants with specialized diets, where microbial symbionts compensate for dietary imbalances by contributing to nitrogen metabolism, vitamin supplementation, and the catabolism of plant fibers and proteins. This review synthesizes recent advances in our understanding of ant-microbe symbioses, focusing on diversity, functional roles in host nutrition, and mechanisms of transmission of symbiotic microorganisms.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by insulin resistance and progressive decline in pancreatic beta cell function. It is a public health problem of great magnitude that has been increasing globally over the last 4 decades. The latest research has found that sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), as an important dietary risk factor, are closely related to the occurrence and development of T2DM.
