María Enid Santiago-Rodríguez
Background: Examining sedentary time (ST) by disaggregating the day into periods such as before, during, and after preschool allows interventionists to understand when sedentary behaviors are most severe. This study aimed to determine if there are sex differences in ST before, during, and after preschool hours in US preschoolers. Methods: A secondary analysis of a two-cohort study with a sample size of 292 preschoolers (67% African Americans/Blacks; 100% from low-income families) was used....

Genetic basis of an adaptive polymorphism controlling butterfly silver iridescence

Luca Livraghi
Identifying the genes and mutations that drive phenotypic variation and which are subject to selection is crucial for understanding evolutionary processes. Mormon Fritillary butterflies (Speyeria mormonia) exhibit a striking wing color polymorphism throughout their range: typical morphs bear silver spots on their ventral surfaces and can co-occur with unsilvered morphs displaying a dull coloration.¹ Through genome-wide association studies in two polymorphic populations, we fine-map this...

A long-read sequencing approach to high-resolution profiling of bacterioplankton diversity in a shallow freshwater lake

Stephanie O Castro Márquez
Lake Balaton, a large shallow freshwater lake in Hungary, exhibits diverse bacterioplankton communities influenced by various environmental factors. This study aims to evaluate the bacterial diversity in Lake Balaton using the long-read approach to 16 S rRNA gene sequencing. Water samples were collected from a wide network of 33 locations across the lake's four basins and analyzed for bacterial community composition. Sequencing results revealed a high taxonomic diversity with significant zonal...
