1. A new blue-spotted Maskray species (<i>Neotrygon</i>, Dasyatidae) from Fiji 

   Glaus, Kerstin; White, William T.; O'Neill, Helen L.; et al. (2025)

   JOURNAL OF FISH BIOLOGY

   Neotrygon romeoi n. sp. (Dasyatidae), a new species of blue-spotted maskray from Fiji, previously confused with Neotrygon kuhlii (M & uuml;ller and Henle 1841) or Neotrygon trigonoides (Castelnau 1873), is described based on nine specimens (310-397 mm disc width) from Fiji. Neotrygon romeoi n. sp. is a large maskray with a broadly angled snout, long claspers in adult males and a median row of thornlets extending from the nape to the tail ...

2. Abiotic ozone in the observable atmospheres of Venus and Venus-like exoplanets 

   Calder, Robb; Shorttle, Oliver; Jordan, Sean; et al. (2025)

   MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY

   Ozone is a potential biosignature and disambuguator between Earth-like and Venus-like exoplanets due to its association on Earth with photosynthetically produced oxygen (O-2). However, the existence of ozone in Venus's observable atmosphere, a planet with no known life, raises the possibility of ozone biosignature false-positives on Venus-like exoplanets. We use a photochemical model of Venus's atmosphere to investigate the origin of its ...

3. Overview of high-density QCD studies with the CMS experiment at the LHC 

   Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; et al. (2025)

   PHYSICS REPORTS-REVIEW SECTION OF PHYSICS LETTERS

   We review key measurements performed by CMS in the context of its heavy ion physics program, using event samples collected in 2010-2018 with several collision systems and energies. These studies provide detailed macroscopic and microscopic probes of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created at the LHC energies, a medium characterized by the highest temperature and smallest baryon-chemical potential ever reached in the laboratory. Numerous ...

4. The hidden side of body integrity dysphoria: aberrant limbic responses to dynamic touch 

   Zapparoli, Laura; Paulesu, Eraldo; Gandola, Martina; et al. (2025)

   BRAIN COMMUNICATIONS

   Body integrity dysphoria (BID) is a brain-based disorder characterized by a persistent, obsessing and disturbing desire for the amputation of healthy limbs. Importantly, individuals with BID are adamant about which specific body segment they wish to have amputated and the exact level at which the amputation should occur. The condition has been linked to altered resting-state brain functional connectivity and task-based activity at the ...

5. Stabilizing mechanisms enable dioecious trees to maintain synchrony in spring budburst under climate warming 

   Wu, Zhaofei; Gong, Yufeng; Zohner, Constantin M.; et al. (2025)

   New Phytologist

   Climate change could reduce dioecious plant fitness if the phenology of males and females responds differently to temperature. However, the extent to which spring phenological responses to climate differ between sexes in wind-pollinated dioecious trees remains poorly understood. Here, we combined ground observations with climate-controlled experiments to investigate sexual differences in spring budburst in Ginkgo biloba, Fraxinus chinensis, ...
