Scientists have recently found that a long‑term dominant diatom in China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project maintains its edge through a mutually reinforced cycle with bacteria , whereas a short‑term dominant species lacks such a close partnership and is far less resilient . The study, led by researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was publish

Understanding how domestication reshapes brain structure and function remains a fundamental question in evolutionary biology. The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory and stress regulation, and it has been thought to undergo "simplification" during domestication. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying these changes remain poorly understood. In a study published in PNAS on Sept
