text: During complex vocal interactions, different features of acoustic stimuli
are integrated to produce appropriate vocal responses,1 such as copying sounds
during vocal matching behavior in some animals.2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 However,
little is known about the interplay and possible trade-offs between the different
temporal and spectral acoustic features during these vocal exchanges.2,13,14 Nightingales
can flexibly match the pitch of their tonal “whistle songs” in real time during
counter-singing duels.15,16 Here, we show that the syllable duration of whistle
playbacks could alter the song responses of wild nightingales, causing their whistle
duration distribution to shift toward the presented stimulus duration. When exposed
to whistle playbacks featuring unnatural combinations of pitch and duration, nightingales
demonstrate a flexible trade-off between pitch matching and temporal imitation,
yet they are constrained by their vocal repertoire. They selectively adapted their
vocal responses to approximate these novel stimuli, aligning them with their natural
whistle repertoire. We developed a computational model of nightingale whistle-matching
behavior that revealed a hierarchical organization of acoustic feature production.
During whistle matching, the feature integration process is constrained by the
duration of syllables, and pitch matching follows within this temporal framework,
forcing a trade-off between the two features. Our findings reveal a complex interplay
between the spectral and temporal domains that shapes song-matching behavior.

text: "Rapid local adaptation to new environments is critical for species persistence,
especially in introduced populations. The evolutionary success of these populations
is fundamentally dictated by the organization of genetic variation—the genomic
architecture—in the face of severe demographic constraints, such as the founder
effects and genetic bottlenecks that frequently accompany colonization. A central
question in evolutionary biology is whether rapid adaptation relies on major-effect
loci, such as chromosomal inversions, or on many small-effect loci dispersed across
the genome. Furthermore, the genomic architecture strongly influences the extent
to which evolutionary outcomes are predictable. Using introduced populations of
the marine snail, Littorina saxatilis, as a model, this thesis investigates how
genetic variation and genomic structure drive adaptation following introduction.
We employed a population genomics approach on experimentally and accidentally
introduced populations to dissect the specific genomic features that underpin
divergence in newly colonized environments.\r\n\r\nIn Chapter 2, we tested the
predictability of local adaptation through an uncommon 30-year transplant experiment
in nature. By distinguishing allele and chromosomal inversion frequency changes
from neutral expectations, we found that evolutionary change was highly predictable
at the macro-scale (phenotypes and chromosomal inversions), but less robust at
the level of individual collinear loci. This result demonstrates that evolution
can be predictable when a population possesses sufficient standing genetic variation
(SGV), with chromosomal inversions acting as key integrated units that facilitate
a rapid response to selection. Building on this, Chapter 3 applied whole-genome
sequencing to three accidentally introduced populations (Venice, San Francisco,
and Redwood City) to investigate their likely source and genomic patterns of divergence.
We identified genomic regions of remarkable divergence potentially associated
with local adaptation, and likely fuelled by SGV, while explicitly acknowledging
the difficulty in disentangling selection signals from the genome-wide effects
of demographic processes. Furthermore, we found that the divergence patterns relied
extensively on the collinear genome in these introduced populations, and less
clearly on the chromosomal inversions. This observation contrasts with local adaptation
observed in the experimental system that relied on both collinear loci and highly
selected chromosomal inversions, highlighting how demographic history and genomic
architecture influence the detectable signature of local adaptation.\r\n\r\nA
major limitation to conducting large-scale comparative evolutionary studies is
the lack of data standardization, which prevents the integration of community
knowledge and high-resolution environmental and genetic data. Chapter 4 addresses
this by developing a community database for the Littorina system. This platform
implements standardized protocols for the integration of diverse phenotypic and
environmental data from multiple Littorina species. Likewise, the platform also
centralizes the availability of associated genomic data through links to external
repositories. This database represents a crucial tool to test complex, large-scale
evolutionary hypotheses.\r\n\r\nCollectively, this thesis strongly reinforces
the fundamental importance of SGV as the raw material for successful local adaptation,
a conclusion supported by evidence in both experimental and accidental introductions.
Furthermore, this work highlights the critical role of the genomic architecture—specifically
chromosomal inversions—in driving the predictability and effectiveness of adaptive
responses. Our findings underscore how the interplay between SGV and genomic architecture
dictates the trajectory and detectability of evolution in colonizing populations,
while simultaneously providing a necessary tool to advance comparative evolutionary
genomics in emerging model organisms."

text: Copper chalcogenides offer high charge mobility and low lattice thermal conductivity
but suffer from structural instability due to dynamic Cu+ migration. Here, we
report a colloidal hot-injection synthesis of ternary cesium copper selenide (CsCu5Se3)
nanocrystals (NCs), achieving precise control over phase, size, and morphology
through tailored precursor-ligand modulation. This strategy enabled systematic
exploration of stable and metastable Cs–Cu–Se phases and mechanistic investigation
of nucleation and growth, providing insight into phase modulation and dimensional
control at the nanoscale. CsCu5Se3 NCs exhibit low lattice thermal conductivity
(∼0.5 Wm–1K–1) and an experimental zT of 0.27 at 718 K. Complementary first-principles
calculations, consistent with experimental electronic and optical responses, predict
a zT of 1.05 at 1000 K. These findings elucidate the formation dynamics of CsCu5Se3
and establish ABZ (A = alkali, B = metal, Z = chalcogen) NCs as tunable platforms
for advanced functional applications.

text: Modern experimental methods in programmable self-assembly make it possible
to precisely design particle concentrations, shapes and interactions. However,
more physical insight is needed before we can take full advantage of this vast
design space to assemble nanostructures with complex form and function. Here we
show how a substantial part of this design space can be quickly and comprehensively
understood by identifying a class of thermodynamic constraints that act on it.
These thermodynamic constraints form a high-dimensional convex polyhedron that
determines which nanostructures can be assembled at high equilibrium yield and
reveals limitations that govern the coexistence of structures. We validate our
predictions through detailed, quantitative assembly experiments of nanoscale particles
synthesized using DNA origami. Our results uncover physical relationships underpinning
many-component programmable self-assembly in equilibrium and form the basis for
robust inverse design, applicable to various systems from biological protein complexes
to synthetic nanomachines.

text: C(sp2)–heteroatom couplings operating via NiI/NiIII catalysis have emerged
as an alternative to canonical Pd0/PdII systems that require complex ligand architectures.
Despite intensive research efforts during the past decade, catalytic methods employing
this approach are still mostly confined to activated starting materials and require
high catalyst loadings due to the low catalytic activity of NiI and undesired
catalyst deactivation events. This article highlights recent advances in the field
toward solving these long-standing challenges. We survey strategies that streamline
the generation of catalytically competent NiI species from bench-stable NiII precatalysts,
and discuss mechanistic studies that shed light on deactivation pathways and the
rate-determining oxidative addition of aryl halides. In the final section, we
highlight recently developed synthetic methodologies, which provide evidence that
limitations can indeed be addressed by working at elevated temperatures, employing
alternative electrophiles, harnessing the benefits of additives, or fine-tuning
the metal’s reactivity through the ligand field.

text: We demonstrate that periodically driven quantum rotors provide a promising
and broadly applicable platform to implement multigap topological phases, where
groups of bands can acquire topological invariants due to non-Abelian braiding
of band degeneracies. By adiabatically varying the periodic kicks to the rotor
we find nodal-line braiding, which causes sign flips of topological charges of
band nodes and can prevent them from annihilating, indicated by nonzero values
of the patch Euler class. In particular, we report on the emergence of an anomalous
Dirac string phase arising in the strongly driven regime, a truly out-of-equilibrium
phase of the quantum rotor. This phase emanates from braiding processes involving
all (quasienergy) gaps and manifests itself with edge states at zero angular momentum.
Our results reveal direct applications in state-of-the-art experiments of quantum
rotors, such as linear molecules driven by periodic far-off-resonant laser pulses
or artificial quantum rotors in optical lattices, whose extensive versatility
offers precise modification and observation of novel non-Abelian topological properties.

text: We have addressed convective self‐aggregation (CSA) in steady and oscillating
sea surface temperature (SST) and solar radiation (SOLIN) cloud‐resolving model
simulations in a non‐rotating radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) framework.
Our experiment designs are motivated by land‐ocean heterogeneity of atmospheric
convection. The steady and oscillating forcings are idealizations of ocean and
land conditions, respectively, based on their differences in heat capacities.
In both kinds of simulations, the diurnal mean SST and SOLIN are the same, and
both SST and SOLIN are only varied in time (i.e., they are spatially homogeneous
at any given time). We find that diurnally oscillating forcing accelerates CSA.
Stronger long‐wave cooling in dry regions at night and during the warm SST phase
(late afternoon) both allow the long‐wave feedback, known to favor aggregation,
to intensify compared to steady forcing simulations. In addition to the long‐wave,
reduced short‐wave warming in dry regions (during the day) further enhances radiative
cooling there compared to moist regions. Overall, the radiative cooling is enhanced
in dry regions compared to neighboring moist convective regions. A dry subsidence
is driven by this net radiative (short‐wave plus long‐wave) cooling, consistent
with earlier work on CSA. Stronger radiative cooling allows stronger subsidence
which allows low‐level circulation to more efficiently transport moisture and
energy up‐gradient, driving convection to aggregate faster. We also note a sensitivity
of our experimental setup to initial conditions, more so at warmer SST. This stochastic
behavior might be critical in reconciling the differences of opinion regarding
the response of convection aggregation to oscillating SST forcing.

text: Early embryo geometry is one of the most invariant species-specific traits,
yet its role in ensuring developmental reproducibility and robustness remains
underexplored. Here we show that in zebrafish, the geometry of the fertilized
egg—specifically its curvature and volume—serves as a critical initial condition
triggering a cascade of events that influence development. The embryo geometry
guides patterned asymmetric cell divisions in the blastoderm, generating radial
gradients of cell volume and nucleocytoplasmic ratio. These gradients generate
mitotic phase waves, with the nucleocytoplasmic ratio determining individual cell
cycle periods independently of other cells. We demonstrate that reducing cell
autonomy reshapes these waves, emphasizing the instructive role of geometry-derived
volume patterns in setting the intrinsic period of the cell cycle oscillator.
In addition to organizing cell cycles, early embryo geometry spatially patterns
zygotic genome activation at the midblastula transition, a key step in establishing
embryonic autonomy. Disrupting the embryo shape alters the zygotic genome activation
pattern and causes ectopic germ layer specification, underscoring the developmental
significance of geometry. Together, our findings reveal a symmetry-breaking function
of early embryo geometry in coordinating cell cycle and transcriptional patterning.

text: In this paper, we review recent results on stability and instability in logarithmic
Sobolev inequalities, with a particular emphasis on strong norms. We consider
several versions of these inequalities on the Euclidean space, for the Lebesgue
and the Gaussian measures, and discuss their differences in terms of moments and
stability. We give new and direct proofs, as well as examples and discuss the
stability of a logarithmic uncertainty principle. Although we do not cover all
aspects of the topic, we hope to contribute to establishing the state of the art.

text: This thesis examines how geometry and topology intersect in the representation,
transformation, and analysis of complex shapes. It considers how continuous manifolds
relate to their discrete analogues, how topological structures evolve in persistence
vineyards, and how tools from topological data analysis can illuminate problems
in mathematical physics. Central to this exploration is the question of how structure,
both geometric and topological, persists or changes under approximation, sampling,
or deformation. The work develops new approaches to skeletal and grid-based representations
of surfaces, reveals the full expressive capacity of persistence vineyards, and
applies topological methods to the longstanding problem of equilibria in electrostatic
fields. These threads braid together into a broader understanding of how topology
and geometry inform one another across theory, computation, and application.

text: According to the scientific consensus, tropical convection must decrease with
global warming. This decrease is manifested by a decrease of the mass transported
in the upward branch of the atmospheric overturning circulation – the convective
mass flux – and a connected decrease of high clouds in the tropics, with implications
for climate sensitivity. By using kilometer-scale simulations in radiative-convective
equilibrium and a convective tracking algorithm, we show that no such decrease
occurs in storms when taken individually and that the mass transport per storm
increases instead. Storms can achieve this result by aggregating more surface
of the convective cores – the inner part of the storm doing the vertical transport
– so that the decrease of tropical convection is actually explained by a decrease
in the total number of storms. There is little variation of the mean pressure
velocity in the cores of the storms, a robust finding of this study. This remarkable
invariance of the mean pressure velocity points to an emerging property of convection
that should receive more attention in future studies.

text: 'Forests under livestock grazing sustain important ecosystem services but
face potential trade-offs between production and ecological integrity. While the
effects of grazing on individual forest attributes are well documented, their
integrated consequences remain poorly understood, particularly in temperate forest
ecosystems. We evaluated the combined influence of livestock grazing intensity
and canopy cover on individual attributes and ecosystem multifunctionality in
native Nothofagus forests of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Across eight ranches
spanning two agroecological regions (Ecotone and Mountain Range), we quantified
forest regeneration, understorey richness and biomass, and soil properties, integrating
them into a multifunctionality index. Using generalized linear mixed models, we
found strong context-dependence: in the Mountain Range, higher grazing intensity
reduced seedling and sapling density, organic matter content, coarse woody debris,
and overall multifunctionality. In the Ecotone, these effects of livestock use
intensity were attenuated, and canopy cover diminished sapling density and multifunctionality,
but moderate cover enhanced understorey. Our results extend multifunctionality
research from grazed grasslands to grazed temperate forests and show that ecological
responses and trade-offs vary across landscape units. We conclude that the Mountain
Range is more vulnerable to grazing, requiring stricter management, whereas the
Ecotone retains greater capacity to sustain multifunctionality under controlled
livestock use intensity. These findings underscore the importance of region-specific
silvopastoral strategies that reconcile food production with forest conservation
in southern Patagonia and comparable temperate forest landscapes worldwide.'

text: The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a critical bottleneck in fuel
cells and metal-air batteries due to the lack of highly efficient electrocatalysts.
Here, we report a simple strategy for synthesizing a palladium-based heterostructured
electrocatalyst supported on a carbon nitride matrix (PdH-Pd@CN), which exhibits
remarkable ORR activity with a half-wave potential of 0.91 V and excellent durability
in 0.1 M KOH. Within the heterostructure, hydrogen intercalation expands the Pd
lattice, while interstitial hydrogen doping facilitates charge transfer from Pd
to H owing to their electronegativity difference. These synergistic effects modulate
the electronic structure, thereby enhancing both activity and stability. When
employed in Zn-air batteries, PdH-Pd@CN delivers a maximum power density of 176
mW cm− (Liu et al., 2025) and capacity of 805 mAh g− (Sun et al., 2021) Zn. These
findings demonstrate the strong potential of PdH-Pd@CN as an efficient ORR electrocatalyst
for next-generation metal-air batteries and related energy technologies.

text: "Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact sources at z > 5 discovered through James
Webb Space Telescope spectroscopy. Their spectra exhibit broad Balmer emission
lines (>~1000 km s^−1), alongside absorption features and a pronounced Balmer
break – evidence for a dense, neutral hydrogen medium, in which the n = 2 state
is significantly populated. When interpreted as arising\r\nfrom active galactic
nucleus broad-line regions, inferred black hole masses from local scaling relations
exceed expectations given their stellar masses, challenging models of early black
hole–galaxy co-evolution. However, radiative transfer effects in dense media may
also impact the formation of hydrogen emission lines. We model three scattering
processes shaping hydrogen\r\nline profiles: resonance scattering by hydrogen
in the n = 2 state, Raman scattering of ultraviolet (UV) radiation by ground-state
hydrogen, and Thomson scattering by free electrons. Using 3D Monte Carlo radiative
transfer simulations, we examine their imprint on line shapes and ratios. Resonance
scattering produces strong deviations from Case B flux ratios, clear differences\r\nbetween
Hα and Hβ, and encodes gas kinematics in line profiles but cannot broaden Hβ due
to conversion to Paα. While Raman scattering can yield broad wings, scattering
of the UV continuum is disfavoured given the absence of strong full width at half-maximum
variations across transitions. Raman scattering of higher Lyman-series emission
can produce Hα/Hβ wing\r\nwidth ratios of >~1.28, agreeing with observations.
Thomson scattering can reproduce the observed >~ 1000 km s^−1 wings under plausible
conditions – e.g. Te ∼ 10^4 K and Ne ∼ 10^24 cm^−2 – and lead to black hole mass
overestimates by factors 10. Our results provide a framework for interpreting
hydrogen lines in LRDs and similar systems."

text: Cellular plasticity, the ability of a differentiated cell to adopt another
phenotypic identity, is restricted under basal conditions, but can be elicited
upon damage. However, the molecular mechanism enabling such plasticity remains
largely unexplored. Here, we report damage-induced cellular plasticity of secretory
enteroendocrine cells (EEs) in the adult Drosophila midgut. Ionizing radiation
induces EE fate conversion and activates stress-responsive programs in EE lineages,
accompanied by the induction of the stress-inducible transcription factor Xrp1
and the cytokine gene upd3. Xrp1 and upd3 are both necessary for radiation-induced
EE plasticity. Under basal conditions, EE-specific Xrp1 overexpression triggers
ectopic expression of progenitor-specific genes, which is necessary for Xrp1 to
drive EE plasticity. Our work identifies Xrp1 as a crucial regulator that coordinates
damage-induced signaling and transcriptional reprogramming, enabling the reactivation
of cellular plasticity in differentiated cells.

text: Formation during the first cycles of Li-rich layered oxide (LRLO) cathode
materials consolidates the interphase and leads to structural changes that are
decisive for long-term cyclability. However, the nature and effect of the changes
are material-dependent and unknown for the important class of Co-free, Ni-poor
LRLOs. Here, we analyze the processes during the tailored formation procedure
of a typical class member, Li1.28Ni0.15Mn0.57O2, and demonstrate that it remarkably
changes lattice composition and structure as a prerequisite for stable cycling.
We combine electrochemistry, operando mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and
X-ray absorption spectroscopy with density functional theory simulations. Activation
most prominently compresses the layer spacing along the c-axis and increases reversible
structural breathing. The large capacity of ∼250 mAh g–1 originates from the Ni2+/Ni4+
and O2–/O– redox couples. Electron exchange during O-redox is smeared over the
entire anionic sublattice rather than localized on specific oxygen atomic sites.
This redox mechanism is reversible without detrimental oxygen evolution, avoiding
continued degradation common in conventional LRLOs. Sequential Ni- and O-redox
during activation irreversibly distorts the coordination of the redox-inactive
Mn4+ centers. This structural evolution of the MnO6 octahedra appears to enable
the superior electrochemical performance of this LRLO phase. These findings define
an activation pathway for the important class of Co-free, Ni-poor LRLOs, offering
potential guidance for the rational design of high-performance, more sustainable
cathode materials.

text: "It is common for programmers to assemble their programs from a combination
of trusted and untrusted components. In this context, a trusted program component
is said to be robustly safe if it behaves safely when linked against arbitrary
untrusted code. Prior work has shown how various encapsulation mechanisms (in
both high- and low-level languages) can be used to protect code so that it is
robustly safe, but none of the existing work has explored how robust safety can
be achieved in a patently unsafe language like C.\r\nIn this paper, we show how
to bring robust safety to a simple yet representative C-like language we call
Rec. Although Rec (like C) is inherently ”dangerous” and thus not robustly safe,
we can ”save” Rec programs via compilation to Cap, a CHERI-like capability machine.
To formalize the benefits of such a hardening compiler, we develop Reckon, a separation
logic for verifying robust safety of Rec programs. Reckon is not sound under Rec’s
unsafe, C-like semantics, but it is sound when Rec programs are hardened via compilation
and linked against untrusted code running on Cap. As a crucial step in proving
soundness of Reckon, we introduce a novel technique of semantic back-translation,
which we formalize by building on the DimSum framework for multi-language semantics.
All our results are mechanized in the Rocq prover."

text: "Many blockchains such as Ethereum execute all incoming transactions sequentially
significantly limiting the potential throughput. A common approach to scale execution
is parallel execution engines that fully utilize modern multi-core architectures.
Parallel execution is then either done optimistically, by executing transactions
in parallel and detecting conflicts on the fly, or guided, by requiring exhaustive
client transaction hints and scheduling transactions accordingly.\r\n\r\nHowever,
recent studies have shown that the performance of parallel execution engines depends
on the nature of the underlying workload. In fact, in some cases, only a 60% speed-up
compared to sequential execution could be obtained. This is the case, as transactions
that access the same resources must be executed sequentially. For example, if
10% of the transactions in a block access the same resource, the execution cannot
meaningfully scale beyond 10 cores. Therefore, a single popular application can
bottleneck the execution and limit the potential throughput.\r\n\r\nIn this paper,
we introduce Anthemius, a block construction algorithm that optimizes parallel
transaction execution throughput. We evaluate Anthemius exhaustively under a range
of workloads, and show that Anthemius enables the underlying parallel execution
engine to process over twice as many transactions."
