Terrestrial water availability is a key determinant of human and ecosystem well-being1,2. Apart from mean precipitation and evaporation changes3,4, it is unknown how daily-scale precipitation concentration into fewer, heavier events affects hydrologic…

Organ intrinsic nervous systems (OINSs) are critical components of the body–brain axis and coordinate visceral organ function with systemic physiological control1–7.…

All folded proteins continuously fluctuate between their low-energy native structures and higher-energy conformations that can be partially or fully unfolded.…

Embryogenesis begins with a zygote—a single cell with two pronuclei that separately enclose maternal and paternal chromosomes. The functional significance of the separation of parental chromosomes into distinct pronuclei remains unexplored, despite the…

The global decrease in species diversity from low to high latitudes is among the most robust biogeographic patterns1,2. There is continuing debate on the contribution of conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) to the latitudinal diversity gradient…
