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.

Nucleated synthetic cells with genetically driven intercompartment communicationEdited by Catherine Murphy, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL; received March 7, 2024; accepted July 24, 2024SignificanceIn living cells, architectural complexity through compartmentalization is closely linked with functional sophistication. To date, most synthetic cell systems are limited to single-compartment structures.

AbstractMetabolic scaling theory has been pivotal in formalizing the limits of energy expenditures across individuals as a function of body size. Similarly, coexistence theory has provided a mathematization of the expected energy transformations across populations as a function of interspecific interactions.
