Forensic entomology offers unique advantages for the minimum postmortem interval (PMImin) estimation of decomposed corpses in forensic investigations. Accurate species identification and up-to-date locality information are essential. Hainan Island has a tropical rainforest climate and a vast territory. In this study, the community structure of necrophagous flies on Hainan Island was investigated in detail according to geographical environment. The results showed that the dominant species included , , , , , , , , , and . Furthermore, and were found only in the high-altitude areas of Wuzhi Mountain, while was distributed only in coastal areas; the latter is a representative species of Hainan Island and has not been reported before. Furthermore, a GenBank database of forensically important flies was established, whilst a high-resolution melt (HRM) curve analysis was applied to identify the common species of Hainan Island for the first time. This study enriches the database of forensically important flies in tropical rainforest regions.

Photocatalysis has emerged as a promising strategy to address water pollution caused by heavy metals and antibiotics. Zeolites exhibit significant potential in petrochemical catalysis; however, the development of zeolite-based photocatalysts remains a critical challenge for researchers. Herein, a novel Z-scheme heterojunction was designed and fabricated on the titanium-silicon zeolite TS-1 by modifying g-CN via a simple calcination process.

Innate immune cells can acquire a memory phenotype, termed trained immunity, but the mechanism underlying the regulation of trained immunity remains largely elusive. Here, we demonstrate that inhibition of Aurora kinase A (AurA) dampens trained immunity induced by β-glucan. ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis reveal that AurA inhibition restricts chromatin accessibility of genes associated with inflammatory pathways such as JAK-STAT, TNF, and NF-κB pathways.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have gained attention due to their chemical stability, bioaccumulation potential, and toxicity. The ocean serves as the ultimate sink for these compounds in the global environment. With the rapid development of the Hainan Free Trade Port, environmental pollution on Hainan Island has consequently become more pronounced.

Coastal wetlands are hotspots for carbon and nitrogen cycling and serve as sinks for microplastics (MPs). Although MP effects on these biogeochemical cycles have been investigated under laboratory experiments, field-based evidence is lacking. This study presents the first field investigation of MP impacts, specifically polypropylene (PP), on sediment carbon and nitrogen cycling in intertidal and supratidal zones of a coastal wetland, employing in-situ culture over three months.

Vocalizations during the breeding season play a significant role in both intra- and inter-specific communications. There have been numerous studies on the calls and functions of the common cuckoo ( [CC]). However, there is limited research on the calls and functions of female CCs.
