Inside the genome of mountaineer bird: Black Redstart and the secrets written in its DNA
The Black Redstart thrives from high mountain cliffs to urban rooftops, performing seasonal altitudinal migrations. Its remarkable adaptability makes it a suitable model for studying genetic and physiological responses to extreme environments, inspiring the first reference genome for this species.
Why Do Neighboring Glaciers Behave So Differently? New Clues from the Antarctic Peninsula
In our new study of the western Antarctic Peninsula, we found that two adjacent glaciers only a few kilometers apart, Hoek Glacier and Rusalka Glacier, exhibit markedly different responses in how climate and ocean forcing influence their frontal behavior and dynamic evolution.
From Ocean Currents to Urban Networks: A Decade of Learning What Resilience Really Means
Born from long-standing MIR–SDS collaborations, this study demonstrates how warming affects plant–pollinator networks and why tropical systems require significantly greater management than temperate ones to maintain ecological resilience.
