However, our understanding of these human/climate relationships is limited because robust tests of these linkages require region-specific quantified palaeoclimatic data with sufficient chronological precision to permit comparisons to the archaeological record. Here we present new high-resolution palaeoclimatic data and combine these with radiocarbon inventories of archaeological and faunal material, to test the relationship between abrupt warming and the ability of humans to rapidly repopulate the northwest margins of Europe (>50° N and encompassing the area of Britain, Ireland, the surrounding islands and the North Sea basin) after regional abandonment during the Last Glacial Maximum. We address the timing of this process and the relevance of the abrupt climate changes recorded in the Greenland ice cores. We use the IntCal20 radiocarbon calibration curve to show that the earliest human repopulation in this region occurred up to 500 years before the climate of Greenland warmed. However, our analyses show that parts of the northwest European margin had already experienced substantial summer warming by this time, probably driven by changes of sea-ice area in the eastern North Atlantic. The associated warming influenced the distribution of key hunter-gatherer prey species such as reindeer, which were a key resource for humans. Accordingly, this study highlights asynchrony in seasonal warming across the North Atlantic region during the last deglaciation and shows that this asynchrony permitted human exploitation of northwest European margin paraglacial landscapes by ~15,200 years before the present.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"191 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144533141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although robust quantification of species synchrony requires long-term observations, empirical studies are often based on short time series. Here we explore the effects of time series length on species synchrony by combining spectral analysis, dynamical community models and empirical plant community data. Our theoretical analyses show that competition contributes to decreasing species synchrony over long timescales but causes increases in synchrony over short timescales. As a result, species synchrony tends to decrease with time series length. In model communities, species synchrony calculated from long time series decreases with species diversity and competition, whereas that calculated from short time series increases with diversity and competition. Empirical analyses of >2,000 time series of plant communities support these theoretical predictions. Our analyses demonstrate that both species synchrony itself and its relationship with species richness can exhibit opposite patterns, depending on the length of time series, challenging the implicit assumption in ecological studies that observational length should not qualitatively alter patterns of interest. Our findings help reconcile results from theoretical and empirical studies on synchrony and have implications for sampling design.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144520496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the complexity of this variation has hampered the high-resolution characterization and determination of the genetic architecture underlying male guppy colour and clouded our understanding of how this exceptional level of diversity is maintained. Here we identify the heritability and genetic basis of male colour variation using convolutional neural networks for high-resolution phenotyping coupled with selection experiments, controlled pedigrees and whole-genome resequencing for a genome-wide association study of colour traits. Our phenotypic and genomic results converge to show that colour patterning in guppies is a combination of many heritable features, each with a largely independent genetic architecture spanning the entire genome. Autosomally inherited ornaments are polygenic, with significant contributions from loci involved in neural crest cell migration. Unusually, the results of our genome-wide association study suggest that gene duplicates from the autosomes to the Y chromosome are responsible for much of the sex-linked variation in colour in guppies, providing a potential mechanism for the maintenance of variation of this classic model trait.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144520499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we integrate and compare single-cell transcriptomes from six species bracketing therian mammal diversity: opossum (a marsupial), Malagasy common tenrec (an afrotherian), mouse and guinea pig (rodents), and macaque and human (primates). We identify a conserved transcriptomic signature of invasive trophoblast across eutherians, probably representing a cell type family that radiated with the evolution of haemochorial placentation. In the maternal stroma, comparative analysis reveals that the endocrine decidual cell evolved from an immunomodulatory predecidual cell type retained in Tenrec and resembling early human decidua. Fetal and maternal cell signalling shows a pronounced tendency towards disambiguation—the exclusive expression of ligands by only one partner—although few ligand–receptor pairs follow an escalatory arms race dynamic. Finally, we reconstruct the uteroplacental cell–cell communication networks of extinct mammalian ancestors, identifying signalling innovations and widespread integration of fetal trophoblast and maternal decidual cells into signalling networks. Together, these results reveal a dynamic history of cell type innovation and co-evolution at the fetal–maternal interface.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144520498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this Perspective, we suggest that stronger alignment of models with empirical knowledge about plankton physiology, diversity and trophic roles will improve model utility and the reliability of their outputs regarding biodiversity, ecophysiology, trophic dynamics and biogeochemistry. We recommend key steps to resolve the disconnect between empirical research and simulation models accounting for well-established plankton processes with an aim to increase the utility of such models for applied uses. A central challenge is characterizing the complexity of plankton diversity and activity in ways that are amenable to model incorporation. We argue that experts in empirical science are best placed to advise the development of next-generation models to address these challenges, and we propose a series of actions to achieve that engagement, including involvement of these experts in the design and exploitation of plankton digital twins.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144520497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite substantial investments in coral restoration and gradual advancements in coral propagation techniques, efforts focused on these ecosystem engineers are not yet fully restoring the ecological functions necessary for thriving reefs. This Perspective provides a road map for how to apply control theory to coral reef restoration, leveraging the framework’s proven effectiveness for optimizing the growth of crops and expanding it to a complex ecosystem. An in situ mesocosm called Coral Reef Arks is used as a platform to test control interventions and refine the approach. Four field experiments using Coral Reef Arks show how control interventions are used to alter ecological and environmental conditions and guide reef state factors towards desired targets. The results from these tests identify control interventions and parameter relationships that are integrated into predictive models to determine the scale at which to intervene on natural reefs. By using real-time ecological feedback, this control-based framework offers a path to identify precise, adaptable interventions that go beyond static conservation methods, providing a dynamic approach to maintain and enhance reef function in the face of ongoing environmental changes.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144515189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
