The transition to clean energy requires the expansion of solar photovoltaic systems, which often compete with other land uses. Now a study explores the potential benefits of solar installations in open-pit mines around the world.
The effective conservation of soil biodiversity and ecosystem services in the face of global-change threats requires improvements in national monitoring. We outline the Global Soil Biodiversity Observatory, an initiative that aims to develop standardized indicators and enhance national monitoring capacities to support evidence-based policymaking and facilitate global assessments.
A combination of computational methods applied to single-cell RNA sequencing data and genetic experiments shows that a small number of transcription factors are involved in the regulation of many de novo genes in Drosophila melanogaster.
In an experimental multicopy plasmid evolution system that allows manipulation of mutation rate and copy number, low copy number promoted enrichment of beneficial alleles whereas high copy number maintained allelic diversity.

Multiscale Modeling & Simulation, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 1089-1144, September 2025. Abstract. Multiscale flow in heterogeneous porous media finds application across numerous fields of science and engineering. In this work, we first review the well-known averaged-parameter and distributed microstructure modeling frameworks for simulating diffusive transport phenomena in a porous (binary) medium comprised of a connected phase surrounding disconnected inclusions. We show that while the averaged-parameter model performs well when the diffusivity ratio of the inclusion to that of the surrounding phase is large, it fails to describe the diffusive transport phenomena for small diffusivity ratios. The distributed microstructure model, on the other hand, produces a more realistic representation…

Biological wastewater treatment is a key process for industrial and municipal wastewater remediation; however, treatment performance declines notably under low-temperature environmental conditions (≤15 °C). Now, researchers report a solar–thermal conversion strategy that sustains the bacterial micro-niche at a high temperature (>30 °C) by efficiently converting solar energy into thermal energy.
Biological wastewater treatment is greatly challenging in cold environments as low temperatures inhibit enzyme activity in microbial metabolism. This work presents a strategy that integrates biological wastewater treatment with photothermal technology to improve its resilience to low temperatures.
Nature Ecology & Evolution - Methane fuel for sea spiders
A theoretical approach quantifies the drivers of community variability in simulated and natural plant communities, which sheds light on the mechanisms that underlie biodiversity–ecosystem stability relationships.
Analysis of land–atmosphere water and CO2 fluxes suggests that reduced water use by vegetation, rather than increased carbon uptake, is the driving factor behind the well-documented increase in vegetation water-use efficiency in response to rising atmospheric CO2.
The role of interspecific interactions in biodiversity–ecosystem stability relationships is unclear. Here the authors develop a theoretical approach and show that empirical diversity–stability relationships in grasslands are best explained by species-specific dynamics rather than by interspecific interactions.
A machine learning approach using long-term observations of eddy covariance finds that the increase in plant intrinsic water-use efficiency under higher CO2 levels, across diverse ecosystems, is driven primarily by reduction in canopy conductance, rather than by stimulation of gross primary productivity.

Assessing linkages between irrigation expansion and child diet diversity in the global south revealed larger diet diversity improvements in water-stressed regions. Future irrigation planning should explicitly incorporate nutrition-sensitive strategies to ensure food security of local communities while maintaining sustainable water withdrawals.
While biodiversity levels have been studied in many different landscapes, villages have been relatively unexplored in comparison. This study examines biodiversity in Eastern European villages across landscape complexity and proximity to cities in the context of social and economic well-being.
Using theoretical and empirical analyses, we demonstrate that species synchrony itself and its relationships with species diversity and competition strength could exhibit opposite patterns in short versus long time series. This finding challenges the implicit assumption in ecological studies that observational length should not qualitatively alter patterns of interest.
The bacterial plant pathogen genus Xanthomonas uses two distinct secretion systems for antibacterial competition. Here the authors show that some Xanthomonas lineages have switched from the ancestral X-T4SS state to T6SS-i4 despite the functional similarity of the systems, with X-T4SS gene clusters subject to degradation and loss and T6SS-i4-encoding sequences inserted through independent gains.

Mycobacterium lepromatosis genomes associated with 4,000-year-old human skeletons in Chile establish an American origin for this causal agent of leprosy (also known as Hansen’s disease), and point to different evolutionary trajectories and transmission pathways for M. lepromatosis and its sister pathogen Mycobacterium leprae.
Climatic conditions from the northwestern European margins indicate that warmer summer conditions after the last cold glacial period existed there around 15,200 years ago. The presence of prey species in this landscape, combined with warmer summer conditions, presented an environment that supported the reoccupation of these northern marginal latitudes by Late Upper Palaeolithic humans.

Single-cell analysis of placental transcriptomes across species reveals the evolutionary divergence and crosstalk of maternal and fetal cell types during early mammalian evolution.
Species synchrony is considered a major mechanism of biodiversity–ecosystem stability relationships. Here, by combining theory, modelling and empirical work, the authors show that with time series length species synchrony decreases and its relationship with diversity switches from positive to negative.
Plankton models have crucial applications in ecosystem management and climate change projections. This Perspective suggests that stronger alignment of plankton models with empirical knowledge is needed and recommends steps to close the gap between empirical research and modelling.
Single-cell transcriptomes from the fetal–maternal interface of six species of mammals reveal a conserved gene expression signature of invasive trophoblast, stepwise evolution of decidual stromal cell types and co-evolutionary patterns in cell–cell signalling.
Guppy colouration is a very diverse trait under natural and sexual selection. Using a combination of high-resolution phenotyping and genomic analysis, the authors reveal the genetic architecture of this complex trait.

Multiscale Modeling & Simulation, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 1062-1087, June 2025. Abstract. We develop a numerical homogenization method for fourth-order singular perturbation problems within the framework of heterogeneous multiscale methods. These problems arise from heterogeneous strain gradient elasticity and elasticity models for structured materials. We establish an error estimate for the homogenized solution applicable to general media and derive an explicit convergence for the locally periodic media with the fine-scale [math]. For cell problems of size [math], the classical resonance error [math] can be eliminated due to the dominance of the higher-order operator. Despite the occurrence of boundary layer effects, discretization errors do not necessarily deteriorate for general boundary conditions. Numerical simulations corroborate these theoretical findings.

Irrigation is an important component of agricultural productivity, but its influence on health and nutritional outcomes—especially those of children—remains unclear. This study examines the links between irrigation expansion and child diet diversity across 26 countries in the global south.
Predictions of species extinctions among birds show that even complete threat abatement would be insufficient to prevent species extinctions and functional biodiversity loss
The relative importance of facilitative and competitive interactions in long-term community dynamics is debated. Here, the authors show that indirect reciprocal facilitation during recruitment in woody plant communities is widespread and linked with species richness, and explore its role in the coexistence of species.
Projections of extinctions of bird species and losses of functional diversity over the next 100 years suggest that even immediate and widespread threat abatement would be insufficient to prevent losses, and targeted recovery programmes must also be implemented to conserve avian diversity.
Applying a combined social science and trait-based ecology approach, the authors identify ecological traits in forests eliciting positive or negative well-being among human participants in England and Wales and find that forests with higher species’ effect trait richness, and those associated with higher participant well-being, are in areas with the least socio-economic deprivation.

Shutting down environmental agencies and scientific research is not just counterproductive to America’s economy and health, it is a conflict against the pursuit of truth and the principles of sound evidence and good governance.
Crude oil contains multiple valuable hydrocarbons used for material synthesis, but their separation involves a laborious and energy-intensive multistep distillation process. Now, scientists introduce a simple two-step separation of important hydrocarbons from crude oil under ambient conditions using selective chemistry.
This Review highlights how membrane technology can drive sustainability and steer industries towards a sustainable future, providing perspectives on materials, manufacturing processes and applications with respect to energy saving, process intensification and environmental impacts.

Multiscale Modeling & Simulation, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 1036-1061, June 2025. Abstract. Many numerical methods for multiscale differential equations require a scale separation between the larger and the smaller scales to achieve accuracy and computational efficiency. In the area of multiscale dynamical systems, so-called seamless methods have been introduced to reduce the requirement of scale separation. We will translate these methods to numerical homogenization problems and extend the technique to multiple dimensions. The initial step is to prove that a one-dimensional second-order elliptic operator with oscillatory coefficients can be rewritten as a multiscale dynamical system. Inspired by this, multiscale elliptic operators in higher dimensions are approximated by a novel approach based on local dilation, which provides a middle ground for balancing intractability and accuracy without the need for full resolution. The dilation operator can be further generalized to preserve important structures by properly decomposing the coefficient field. Error estimates are developed, and promising numerical results of different examples are included.

The authors assess shell thickness and ornamentation in brachiopods during the Permian–Triassic mass extinction (PTME) and in foraminifera during both the PTME and early Toarcian oceanic anoxic event, finding that both groups reduced their morphological complexity and thus possibly saved on energetic costs during these stressful events.

Multiscale Modeling & Simulation, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 985-1035, June 2025. Abstract. In this paper, we study the semiclassical behavior of Bloch electrons in the presence of Weyl nodes, which are singular points in the band structure of certain materials. We carry out asymptotic analysis and present a rigorous derivation of the semiclassical asymptotic expansion of the current of Bloch electrons with the presence of Weyl nodes. The analysis shows that the current contains two parts, one independent of the Weyl nodes and the other a contribution from the singular points. This work provides a theoretical foundation towards a rigorous justification of recent scientific discoveries in Weyl semimetals. The main innovation of this paper is a new strategy to deal with the singular points with quantitative estimates, which may have broader applications in multiscale models with singularities.
