The Cambrian radiation of euarthropods can be attributed to an adaptable body plan. Sophisticated brains and specialized feeding appendages, which are elaborations of serially repeated organ systems and jointed appendages, underpin the dominance of Euarthropoda in a broad suite of ecological settings. The origin of the euarthropod body plan from a grade of vermiform taxa with hydrostatic lobopodous appendages ('lobopodian worms')1,2 is founded on data from Burgess Shale-type fossils. However, the compaction associated with such preservation obscures internal anatomy3-6. Phosphatized microfossils provide a complementary three-dimensional perspective on early crown group euarthropods7, but few lobopodians8,9. Here we describe the internal and external anatomy of a three-dimensionally preserved euarthropod larva with lobopods, midgut glands and a sophisticated head. The architecture of the nervous system informs the early configuration of the euarthropod brain and its associated appendages and sensory organs, clarifying homologies across Panarthropoda. The deep evolutionary position of Youti yuanshi gen. et sp. nov. informs the sequence of character acquisition during arthropod evolution, demonstrating a deep origin of sophisticated haemolymph circulatory systems, and illuminating the internal anatomical changes that propelled the rise and diversification of this enduringly successful group.
寒武纪巨足类动物的辐射可归因于其适应性强的身体结构。复杂的大脑和特化的进食附肢,是连续重复的器官系统和关节附肢的精心制作,支撑着类人猿在广泛的生态环境中占据主导地位。根据来自伯吉斯页岩型化石的数据,巨足类动物的身体结构起源于具有静水叶状附属器("叶状蠕虫")1,2 的蛭形类群。然而,这种保存方式造成的压实掩盖了内部解剖结构3-6。磷化微化石提供了早期冠群欧陆虫类的补充性三维视角7,但很少有龙脑虫类8,9。在这里,我们描述了一个保存完好的具有叶足、中肠腺体和复杂头部的三维欧足类幼虫的内部和外部解剖结构。神经系统的结构为巨足类脑及其相关附属器官和感觉器官的早期构造提供了信息,澄清了泛足类的同源关系。Youti yuanshi gen. et sp. nov.的深层进化位置为节肢动物进化过程中特征的获得顺序提供了信息,证明了复杂的血液淋巴循环系统的深层起源,并阐明了内部解剖结构的变化推动了这一持久成功的类群的崛起和多样化。

Birds, bats and many insects can tuck their wings against their bodies when at rest and deploy them to power flight. Whereas birds and bats use well-developed pectoral and wing muscles1,2, how insects control their wing deployment and retraction remains unclear because this varies among insect species. Beetles (Coleoptera) display one of the most complex mechanisms. In rhinoceros beetles, Allomyrina dichotoma, wing deployment is initiated by complete release of the elytra and partial release of the hindwings at their bases. Subsequently, the beetle starts flapping, elevates the hindwing bases and unfolds the hindwing tips in an origami-like fashion. Although the origami-like fold has been extensively explored3-8, limited attention has been given to the hindwing base movements, which are believed to be driven by the thoracic muscles5,9-11. Here we demonstrate that rhinoceros beetles can effortlessly deploy their hindwings without necessitating muscular activity. We show that opening the elytra triggers a spring-like partial release of the hindwings from the body, allowing the clearance needed for the subsequent flapping motion that brings the hindwings into the flight position. After flight, the beetle can use the elytra to push the hindwings back into the resting position, further strengthening the hypothesis of passive deployment. We validated the hypothesis using a flapping microrobot that passively deployed its wings for stable, controlled flight and retracted them neatly upon landing, demonstrating a simple, yet effective, approach to the design of insect-like flying micromachines.

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels1 are essential for pacemaking activity and neural signalling2,3. Drugs inhibiting HCN1 are promising candidates for management of neuropathic pain4 and epileptic seizures5. The general anaesthetic propofol (2,6-di-iso-propylphenol) is a known HCN1 allosteric inhibitor6 with unknown structural basis. Here, using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and electrophysiology, we show that propofol inhibits HCN1 by binding to a mechanistic hotspot in a groove between the S5 and S6 transmembrane helices. We found that propofol restored voltage-dependent closing in two HCN1 epilepsy-associated polymorphisms that act by destabilizing the channel closed state: M305L, located in the propofol-binding site in S5, and D401H in S6 (refs. 7,8). To understand the mechanism of propofol inhibition and restoration of voltage-gating, we tracked voltage-sensor movement in spHCN channels and found that propofol inhibition is independent of voltage-sensor conformational changes. Mutations at the homologous methionine in spHCN and an adjacent conserved phenylalanine in S6 similarly destabilize closing without disrupting voltage-sensor movements, indicating that voltage-dependent closure requires this interface intact. We propose a model for voltage-dependent gating in which propofol stabilizes coupling between the voltage sensor and pore at this conserved methionine-phenylalanine interface in HCN channels. These findings unlock potential exploitation of this site to design specific drugs targeting HCN channelopathies.

The global retreat of glaciers is dramatically altering mountain and high-latitude landscapes, with new ecosystems developing from apparently barren substrates1-4. The study of these emerging ecosystems is critical to understanding how climate change interacts with microhabitat and biotic communities and determines the future of ice-free terrains1,5. Here, using a comprehensive characterization of ecosystems (soil properties, microclimate, productivity and biodiversity by environmental DNA metabarcoding6) across 46 proglacial landscapes worldwide, we found that all the environmental properties change with time since glaciers retreated, and that temperature modulates the accumulation of soil nutrients. The richness of bacteria, fungi, plants and animals increases with time since deglaciation, but their temporal patterns differ. Microorganisms colonized most rapidly in the first decades after glacier retreat, whereas most macroorganisms took longer. Increased habitat suitability, growing complexity of biotic interactions and temporal colonization all contribute to the increase in biodiversity over time. These processes also modify community composition for all the groups of organisms. Plant communities show positive links with all other biodiversity components and have a key role in ecosystem development. These unifying patterns provide new insights into the early dynamics of deglaciated terrains and highlight the need for integrated surveillance of their multiple environmental properties5.
全球冰川退缩正在极大地改变山区和高纬度地区的地貌,从看似贫瘠的基质上发展出新的生态系统1-4。研究这些新兴生态系统对于了解气候变化如何与微生境和生物群落相互作用并决定无冰地形的未来至关重要1,5。在这里,我们通过对全球 46 个冰川地貌的生态系统(土壤特性、小气候、生产力和生物多样性)进行全面描述(通过环境 DNA 代谢编码6),发现自冰川消退以来,所有环境特性都会随着时间的推移而发生变化,而且温度会调节土壤养分的积累。细菌、真菌、植物和动物的丰富程度随着冰川消退后时间的推移而增加,但它们的时间模式有所不同。在冰川消退后的最初几十年里,微生物的定殖速度最快,而大多数大型生物则需要更长的时间。随着时间的推移,栖息地适宜性的提高、生物相互作用复杂性的增加以及定殖时间的延长都有助于生物多样性的增加。这些过程也改变了所有生物类群的群落组成。植物群落与生物多样性的所有其他组成部分都有着积极的联系,并在生态系统的发展中发挥着关键作用。这些统一的模式为了解冰川退化地形的早期动态提供了新的视角,并强调了对其多种环境特性进行综合监测的必要性5。

Active basaltic eruptions enable time-series analysis of geochemical and geophysical properties, providing constraints on mantle composition and eruption processes1-4. The continuing Fagradalsfjall and Sundhnúkur fires on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, beginning in 2021, enable such an approach5,6. Earliest lavas of this volcanic episode have been interpreted to exclusively reflect a change from shallow to deeper mantle source processes7. Here we show using osmium (Os) isotopes that the 2021 Fagradalsfjall lavas are both fractionally crystallized and strongly crustally contaminated, probably by mid-ocean-ridge gabbros and older basalts underlying the Reykjanes Peninsula. Earliest eruptive products (187Os/188Os ≤ 0.188, platinum (Pt)/iridium (Ir) ≤ 76) are highly anomalous for Icelandic lavas or global oceanic basalts and Os isotope ratios remain elevated throughout the 2021 eruption, indicating a continued but diluted presence of contaminants. The 2022 lavas show no evidence for contamination (187Os/188Os = 0.131, Pt/Ir = 30), being typical of Icelandic basalts (0.132 ± 0.007). Initiation of the Fagradalsfjall Fires in 2021 involved pre-eruptive stalling, fractional crystallization and crustal assimilation of earliest lavas. An established magmatic conduit system in 2022 enabled efficient magma transit to the surface without crustal assimilation.

Nasal vaccination elicits a humoral immune response that provides protection from airborne pathogens1, yet the origins and specific immune niches of antigen-specific IgA-secreting cells in the upper airways are unclear2. Here we define nasal glandular acinar structures and the turbinates as immunological niches that recruit IgA-secreting plasma cells from the nasal-associated lymphoid tissues (NALTs)3. Using intact organ imaging, we demonstrate that nasal vaccination induces B cell expansion in the subepithelial dome of the NALT, followed by invasion into commensal-bacteria-driven chronic germinal centres in a T cell-dependent manner. Initiation of the germinal centre response in the NALT requires pre-expansion of antigen-specific T cells, which interact with cognate B cells in interfollicular regions. NALT ablation and blockade of PSGL-1, which mediates interactions with endothelial cell selectins, demonstrated that NALT-derived IgA-expressing B cells home to the turbinate region through the circulation, where they are positioned primarily around glandular acinar structures. CCL28 expression was increased in the turbinates in response to vaccination and promoted homing of IgA+ B cells to this site. Thus, in response to nasal vaccination, the glandular acini and turbinates provide immunological niches that host NALT-derived IgA-secreting cells. These cellular events could be manipulated in vaccine design or in the treatment of upper airway allergic responses.
鼻腔疫苗接种会引起体液免疫反应,从而提供对空气传播病原体的保护1,但上呼吸道中抗原特异性 IgA 分泌细胞的来源和特异性免疫龛位还不清楚2。在这里,我们将鼻腺尖状体结构和鼻甲定义为免疫龛位,它们能从鼻腔相关淋巴组织(NALTs)3 中招募分泌 IgA 的浆细胞。NALT 生殖中心反应的启动需要抗原特异性 T 细胞的预先扩增,T 细胞会与叶间区的同源 B 细胞相互作用。NALT消融和阻断PSGL-1(介导与内皮细胞选择素的相互作用)表明,NALT衍生的表达IgA的B细胞通过血液循环进入鼻甲区,它们主要分布在腺尖状结构周围。接种疫苗后,鼻甲中的 CCL28 表达增加,促进了 IgA+ B 细胞向该部位的归巢。因此,在接种鼻腔疫苗后,腺样尖头和鼻甲会提供免疫壁龛,以容纳 NALT 衍生的分泌 IgA 的细胞。这些细胞事件可在疫苗设计或治疗上呼吸道过敏反应时加以控制。
