Article Abstract
More intense fire weather due to climate change is implicated as a key driver of recent extreme wildfire events. As fuel stock, the role of vegetation and its phenology changes in wildfire dynamics, however is not fully appreciated. Using long-term satellite-based burned areas and photosynthesis observations, we reveal that an earlier peak photosynthesis timing (PPT) potentially acts to escalate subsequent wildfires, with an increase in the global average burned fraction of 0.021% (∼2.20 Mha) for every additional day of PPT advancement. Satellite observations and Earth System modeling consistently show that this fire escalation is likely due to intensified drought conditions and increased fuel availability associated with the climate feedback arising from earlier PPT. Current fire-enabled dynamic global vegetation models can reproduce the observed negative correlation between PPT and burned area but underestimate the strength of the relationship notably. Given the continued PPT advancement owing to climate change, the bioclimatic effects of vegetation phenology change suggest a potentially pervasive upward pressure on future wildfires.

Temperature-Dependent Population Model of Apple Leafminer, Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae).

The Asiatic apple leafminer, Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Matsumura), is a significant secondary pest of apple trees in Northeast Asia. To better understand its population dynamics, a population model based on temperature-developmental relationships was constructed. This model includes three sub-models: spring emergence, immature stage transition, and adult oviposition.

Introduction: Left Ventricular Dysfunction (LVD) is a frequent complication in Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, often worsened by cardiovascular disease. This study explores the role of dipyridamole (DP)-induced heart rate variability and G-SPECT imaging in evaluating LVD in DM patients.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between heart rate ratio (HRR) during DP stress and LVD parameters derived from gated SPECT (G-SPECT) in DM patients, aiming to identify if HRR can serve as a marker for early LVD assessment.

Objectives: In recent decades, China has experienced successive epidemics of seasonal Japanese encephalitis (JE), with the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) particularly spreading continuously in rural and suburban areas.
Methods: Nationwide data on 9061 JE cases, mosquito abundance from 89 surveillance sites, and population movement between 337 cities during 2013-19 were obtained. Seasonal multivariate linear regression models including time trends and reconciliation terms representing annual and semiannual cycles were fitted to the weekly time series of JE cases, and the amplitude and peak time of the cycles were estimated.
Color polymorphism in Anemone coronaria: Correlations with soil, climate, and flowering phenology.

Premise: Flower color polymorphism (FCP) is thought to be driven by multiple selection agents. Although widely associated with visual attraction of multiple pollinators, FCP is also often correlated with abiotic factors. We explored the links between abiotic conditions, flowering phenology, and FCP in the winter-flowering geophyte Anemone coronaria L.

Knee joint osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by alterations in articular cartilage and subchondral bone, but concurrent biomechanical changes in the bundles of human anterior cruciate ligament are poorly known. This study aimed at characterizing the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles' elastic and viscoelastic properties and relate them to knee joint OA. Small dogbone-shaped samples were cut from mid-substance of AM and PL bundles of human knees (n = 18 knees, N = 9 cadavers) and subjected to tensile sinusoidal and multi-step stress-relaxation testing.
