Pteropods counter mechanical damage and dissolution through extensive shell repair

Sea butterflies, or pteropods, are often presented as being at threat from ocean acidification on account of their fragile shells being susceptible to dissolution. Here the authors show that pteropods are able to perform extensive repair to damaged shells, suggesting they may not be as vulnerable as previously thought.

Comparison of AI-integrated pathways with human-AI interaction in population mammographic screening for breast cancer

Successful human-AI collaboration could greatly contribute to breast cancer mammographic screening. Here, the authors use a large-scale retrospective mammography dataset to simulate and compare five plausible AI-integrated screening pathways, finding optimal ways in which human-AI collaboration could be implemented in real-world settings.

Methane venting is a widespread phenomenon at the Cascadia margin, however a comprehensive database of methane vents at this margin is lacking. Here the authors show that the margin-wide average methane flow-rate ranges from ~4 × 10⁶ to ~1590 × 10⁶ kg y⁻¹ and is on average around 88 ± 6 × 10⁶ kg y⁻¹.

The origins of the enigmatic extinct Falkland Islands wolf have remained a mystery since first records in the seventeenth century. Ancient DNA data and evidence from submarine terraces reveal that the species colonized the islands during the Last Glacial Maximum via a shallow, potentially frozen, marine strait.

This supports New Guinea as a springboard for Lapita dispersal throughout the Pacific and illuminates their origins.
