Scientists recently discovered various Denisovan remains in Southwest China dating back to the late Middle Pleistocene, including the first Denisovan radius—one of two long bones in the forearm. Denisovans are a genetically identified archaic hominin group believed to have been widely distributed across Asia. However, due to the limited number of fossil remains, especially postcranial bones—those

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

On 1 September, Anniek de Ruijter became the new Rector Magnificus of the UvA. Has her perspective on the UvA changed as she’s gone from student to PhD candidate to professor to administrator here? Is she optimistic or pessimistic about the world we currently live in? And can she recommend us a good book?

Extreme heatwaves disrupt life in soil. Soil bacteria that produce and resist antibiotics switch into survival mode, temporarily reducing the number of resistance genes. At the same time, heat and drought are causing significant damage to soils and ecosystems, especially in cold, wet regions such as the Netherlands. This is evident from a large-scale European study by soil ecologist Franciska de Vries (University of Amsterdam) and colleagues.

Judges are often accused of sitting in an ivory tower. Wrongly accused, says Nienke Doornbos, associate professor of Sociology of Law at the University of Amsterdam. She researched courtroom culture in civil cases, focusing on the role of judges. ‘It is important for the acceptance of the judiciary that people feel heard.’

The ideas kept coming. So the team behind WashU’s AI Perspectives Week decided to add a second week of programming. Nathan Jacobs, vice provost for artificial intelligence, was not surprised by the community’s interest. “The proposals came from every corner of the university,” said Jacobs, a professor of computer science and engineering at WashU McKelvey Engineering . “Our faculty and students hav

Drier climates are exacerbating an expensive problem for millions of Australians whose homes sit on expansive soils prone to shrinkage cracks, which have already cost insurance companies and individuals billions of dollars in damage bills. A new study by Adelaide University, using computer modelling and field observations, shows that homes are more vulnerable to damage than previously thought, and climate change is expected to worsen the problem in coming years. With 20-30% of Australian surface

现代主栽香蕉品种高度依赖营养繁殖，存在遗传基础狭窄、遗传多样性低等问题。芭蕉科现存约80个物种，不同类群在染色体基数（如 n =11、10和9）以及花苞颜色等性状上呈现多样性，是研究植物染色体结构演化和花器官性状分化的理想类群。然而，这些不同染色体基数的演化形成机制、染色体结构变异与花苞颜色分化的内在关联，长期以来缺乏基因组与细胞遗传学层面的直接证据。

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
