‘Masters of shape-shifting’: How darkling beetles conquered the world
Large-scale genomic analysis of darkling beetles, a hyper-diverse insect group of more than 30,000 species worldwide, rolls back the curtain on a 150-million-year evolutionary tale...
Heterogeneous occurrence of evergreen broad-leaved forests revealed by plant fossils East Asia
Evergreen broad-leaved forests (EBLFs) are the most characteristic biomes in East Asia. They assume a fundamental role in the biodiversity function and ecosystem services of...
A new reaction to enhance aromatic ketone use in chemical synthesis
