Site‐Specific Impacts of Urbanisation on Annual Survival of a Forest Bird by Boglárka Bukor, Brett K. Sandercock, Karl L. Evans, Ivett Pipoly, Krisztina Sándor, András Liker, Gábor Seress

“…Survival probabilities decreased with bird age at both urban sites in most years, but such patterns were not detected at forest sites. Our results demonstrate that the impacts of aging on avian survival rates can diverge between urban and forest habitats, and that the demographic factors regulating urban populations can vary between locations. …”

Intravesical BCG: A Double-Edged Sword? The Untold Story of Infection Risks by Orçun Barkay, Ercüment Keskin

“…<i>Background and Objectives:</i> Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy remains a cornerstone in the treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma due to its efficacy in reducing recurrence and progression rates. However, its use is associated with various complications—including urinary tract infections (UTIs)—which necessitates further exploration. …”

Parasite spatial distribution shapes parasite aggregation on host populations, but not at high parasite density by Chris Wojan, Allison K. Shaw, Meggan E. Craft

“…Our work suggests that fine‐scale spatial patterns of parasites can play a strong role in shaping how hosts are parasitized, particularly when parasite density is low‐to‐moderate and recovery rates are slow.…”

The role of spatially controlled cell proliferation in limb bud morphogenesis. by Bernd Boehm, Henrik Westerberg, Gaja Lesnicar-Pucko, Sahdia Raja, Michael Rautschka, James Cotterell, Jim Swoger, James Sharpe

“…By developing a parameter optimization approach (which explores spatial patterns of tissue growth) our computer simulations reveal that the observed distribution of proliferation rates plays no significant role in controlling the distally extending limb shape, and suggests that directional cell activities are likely to be the driving force behind limb bud outgrowth. …”

Nucleon decay as a probe of flavor symmetry: the case of fake unification by Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe

“…By introducing flavor symmetry through the FN mechanism, the model addresses the flavor puzzle of quark and lepton mass hierarchies and mixing patterns. Our analysis demonstrates that nucleon decay rates and branching fractions in the fake GUT are sensitive to flavor symmetry, providing a means to distinguish it from conventional GUT predictions. …”
