Type 1 Diabetes Incidence and Risk in Children With a Diagnosis of COVID-19 ( jamanetwork.com )
"The incidence of type 1 diabetes in children increased during the COVID-19 pandemic,1-4 but studies have not discriminated between children with and without infection. We analyzed a large population-based, individual-patient data set that included diagnoses of COVID-19 to determine whether there was a temporal association...

New study suggests that prey availability influences the effect of boldness on reproductive success ( link.springer.com )
Boldness is an important trait in wild populations, and among-individual differences can link to individual fitness. The strength and direction of relationships between behavioral and life-history traits may however vary according to environmental conditions, where fluctuating selection acting on behavioral traits contributes to...
New study reveals that antibiotic treatment can affect phenotypic plasticity ( besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com )
Through phenotypic plasticity, individual genotypes can produce multiple phenotypes dependent on the environment. In the modern world, anthropogenic influences such as man-made pharmaceuticals are increasingly prevalent. They might alter observable patterns of plasticity and distort our conclusions regarding the adaptive...

Molecular filament shielded young solar system from supernova ( www.sciencedaily.com )
Isotope ratios found in meteorites suggest that a supernova exploded nearby while the Sun and Solar System were still forming. But the blast wave from a supernova that close could have potentially destroyed the nascent Solar System. New calculations shows that a filament of molecular gas, which is the birth cocoon of the Solar...
