1. Host Competitive Asymmetries Accelerate Viral Evolution in a Microbe-Virus Coevolutionary System 

   Liaghat, Armun; Guillemet, Martin; Whitaker, Rachel; et al. (2025)

   Ecology Letters

   Microbial host populations evolve traits conferring specific resistance to viral predators via various defence mechanisms, while viruses reciprocally evolve traits to evade these defences. Such coevolutionary dynamics often involve diversification promoted by negative frequency-dependent selection. However, microbial traits conferring competitive asymmetries can induce directional selection, opposing diversification. Despite extensive ...

2. A revision of the four Afrotropical and Palaearctic<i> Sphyracephala</i> Say (Diptera, Diopsidae) with an illustrated overview of the other five Sphyracephala 

   Feijen, Hans R.; Feijen, Frida A. A.; Feijen, Cobi (2025)

   ZOOKEYS

   In the Afrotropical Region, Sphyracephala beccarii (Rondani) and S. munroi Curran are found, the former just extending into the Palaearctic Region. In the latter region, S. babadjanidesi Zaitzev occurs in the Balkan and Caucasus Regions and S. nigrimana Loew in Far Eastern Russia and North-Eastern China. The European stalk-eyed fly S. europaea Papp & F & ouml;ldv & aacute;ri is proposed as junior synonym of the Eurasian stalk-eyed fly S. ...

3. Enhancing the Photocatalytic Performance of Carbon Nitrides Through Controlled Local Structure Modification 

   Piankova, Diana V.; Zschiesche, Hannes; Tyutyunnik, Alexander P.; et al. (2025)

   ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS

   Carbon nitrides are among the most efficient and extensively studied transition-metal-free photocatalysts, yet their industrial application is limited by high charge recombination, poor charge transport, and insufficient absorption above 460 nm. This study investigates how fine-tuning the crystal structure of carbon nitrides helps to overcome these challenges and to enhance their photocatalytic performance. We used poly(heptazine imides) ...

4. Enhancing mindfulness and compassion through an ayahuasca-inspired formulation containing N,N-DMT and harmine: A randomized controlled trial in healthy subjects 

   Aicher, Helena D.; Wicki, Ilhui A.; Meling, Daniel; et al. (2025)

   Journal of Psychopharmacology

   Background: Mindfulness and compassion are therapeutically relevant and can be increased through different forms of meditation practices. However, meditation practice needs time and commitment. These resources are often limited in patients with mood disorders. Therefore, efficacious remedies that increase mindfulness and compassion could provide therapeutic options. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychedelic ...

5. Interpreting Ice Anisotropy of Greenland's Fastest Outlet Glacier Using Basal Icequakes 

   Nap, A.; Hudson, T.; Walter, F.; et al. (2025)

   Geophysical Research Letters

   Ice anisotropy can have significant impact on ice rheology and flow dynamics. However, a lack of in situ measurements limits the validation and incorporation of anisotropy, so most ice flow models assume isotropic ice. Especially observations of anisotropy in fast-flowing ice streams are scarce. Here, we present an assessment of anisotropic ice fabric inside a fast-flowing Greenlandic ice stream. Seismic anisotropy, measured through shear ...
