Evolutionary transitions in diet influence the exceptional diversification of a lizard adaptive radiation
BackgroundDiet is a key component of a species ecological niche and plays critical roles in guiding the trajectories of evolutionary change. Previous...

Water Governance Transitions Pathway: Adaptive Water Governance
Climate change is adversely impacting all three pillars of sustainability (Environment, Economic, and Social). Arguably, the most impacted natural...

CPMI: comprehensive neighborhood-based perturbed mutual information for identifying critical states of complex biological processes
BackgroundThere exists a critical transition or tip** point during the complex biological process. Such critical transition is usually accompanied...
-
Quantitative analysis of transcriptome dynamics provides novel insights into developmental state transitions
BackgroundDuring embryogenesis, the developmental potential of initially pluripotent cells becomes progressively restricted as they transit...

The Ocean Transition: What to Learn from System Transitions
The ocean is the ultimate commons. Sustainability narratives now recognise what science continues to demonstrate—that ecosystems on land, rivers,...

Insect Mortality Caused by Baculovirus: A Model of Second-Order Phase Transitions
AbstractBaculoviruses, especially prevalent in Lepidoptera, have attracted the most attention as biological insect control agents. Infection with...

Changes in dynamic transitions between integrated and segregated states underlie visual hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease
Hallucinations are a core feature of psychosis and common in Parkinson’s. Their transient, unexpected nature suggests a change in dynamic brain...

Comparative modeling of fluorescence and P700 induction kinetics for alga Scenedesmus sp. obliques and cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Role of state 2–state 1 transitions and redox state of plastoquinone pool
The model of thylakoid membrane system (T-M model) (Belyaeva et al. Photosynth Res 2019, 140:1–19) has been improved in order to analyze the...

Future transitions from a conifer to a deciduous-dominated landscape are accelerated by greater wildfire activity and climate change in interior Alaska
ContextIn interior Alaska, increasing wildfire activity associated with climate change is projected to continue, potentially altering regional forest...

Critical scaling of whole-brain resting-state dynamics
Scale invariance is a characteristic of neural activity. How this property emerges from neural interactions remains a fundamental question. Here, we...

Drivers and constraints of land use transitions on Western grasslands: insights from a California mountain ranching community
ContextLand use change drives a host of sustainability challenges on Earth’s grasslands. To understand the relationship between changing land use...

On ‘Speciation’: Fragment Size in Information System Phase Transitions
We extend the phase transition model of the previous chapters in a way that generalizes the Kadanoff/Wilson picture of analogous dynamics in physical...

Impact of population behavioural responses on the critical community size of infectious diseases
The critical community size (CCS) is the minimum closed population size in which a pathogen can persist indefinitely. Below this threshold,...

Diversification supports farm income and improved working conditions during agroecological transitions in southern Brazil
Management of crop diversity for improved agroecosystem functioning can provide economic co-benefits to farmers. Yet, there remain critical gaps in...

The epigenetic origin of life history transitions in plants and algae
Plants and algae have a complex life history that transitions between distinct life forms called the sporophyte and the gametophyte. This...

Comparative protein structural analyses of α-synuclein linked pathogenic variants reveal the role of N-terminally located critical region in Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis
SNCA was the first gene to be linked to Parkinson's disease (PD). Pathogenic variations in the corresponding neuronal protein α-synuclein are known...

Stretching muscle cells induces transcriptional and splicing transitions and changes in SR proteins
Alternative splicing is an RNA processing mechanism involved in skeletal muscle development and pathology. Muscular diseases exhibit splicing...

Integrating ion mobility into comprehensive multidimensional metabolomics workflows: critical considerations
BackgroundIon mobility (IM) separation capabilities are now widely available to researchers through several commercial vendors and are now being...

Single-cell adaptations shape evolutionary transitions to multicellularity in green algae
The evolution of multicellular life has played a pivotal role in sha** biological diversity. However, we know surprisingly little about the natural...
