El rover Curiosity de la NASA ha identificado dos conjuntos de ondulaciones de olas antiguas en el cráter Gale de Marte, que indican la presencia de cuerpos de agua poco profundos hace unos 3.700 millones de años. Estas estructuras, preservadas en el registro de rocas marcianas, son evidencia de que el agua líquida estuvo abierta al aire marciano y no cubierta por hielo, desafiando algunos modelos climáticos previos.

PHYSIOLOGYBall python. Image credit: iStock/dwi septiyana. How python hearts withstand massive mealsConstricting pythons gorge on prey, rapidly increasing their heart rate, mass, and output after the consumption of massive meals. The precise mechanisms underlying the reversible cardiac hypertrophy and output that follow such large but infrequent meals are poorly understood. Claudia Crocini et al.

As early-career researchers, we are acutely aware that while behavioral science research typically focuses on Western populations, it aims to draw universal conclusions about human behavior. We were still in high school in 2010 when the Heinrich et al. landmark paper “The weirdest people in the world?” argued that research conducted solely on Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) samples might not apply universally (1).

SignificanceThe US Corn Belt is a major global producer of both maize and soybeans, with maize output alone worth more than $30 billion per year. Hydrological extremes—both dry and wet—can greatly reduce yields, although most prior work has focused solely on near-surface soil moisture. Here, we demonstrate with region-wide observational data that accessible groundwater increases yield stability over time by providing supplemental water, especially in years with below-average rainfall.
