The role of action potential changes in depolarization-induced failure of excitation contraction coupling in mouse skeletal muscle

Excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) is the process by which electrical excitation of muscle is converted into force generation. Depolarization of skeletal muscle resting potential contributes to failure of ECC in diseases such as periodic paralysis, intensive care unit acquired weakness and possibly fatigue of muscle during vigorous exercise. When extracellular K+ is raised to depolarize the resting potential, failure of ECC occurs suddenly, over a narrow range of resting potentials. Intracellular recordings of action potentials (APs) in individual mouse skeletal muscle fibers during depolarization of the resting potential revealed small APs are still generated at resting potentials at which force production has failed. Simultaneous imaging of Ca2+ transients and recording of APs demonstrated failure to generate Ca2+ transients when APs peaked at potentials more negative than -30 mV. An AP property that closely correlated with failure of the Ca2+ transient was the integral of AP voltage with respect to time. Simultaneous recording of Ca2+ transients and APs with electrodes separated by 1.6 mm revealed AP conduction fails when APs peak below -21 mV. We hypothesize propagation of APs and generation of Ca2+ transients are governed by distinct AP properties: AP conduction is governed by AP peak, whereas Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum is governed by AP integral of voltage with respect to time. The reason distinct AP properties may govern separate steps of ECC is the kinetics of the ion channels involved in the different steps of ECC. Na channels, which govern propagation, have rapid kinetics such that propagation is insensitive to AP width (and integral) whereas Ca2+ release is governed by movement of gating charges in Cav1.1 channels, which have slower kinetics such that Ca2+ release is sensitive to AP width (and integral). The quantitative relationships established between resting potential, AP properties, AP conduction and Ca2+ transients provide the foundation for future studies of failure of ECC induced by depolarization of the resting potential.

Efficient parallelization of tensor network contractions for simulating quantum computation

In this paper, we demonstrate a classical simulation framework for quantum computation by contracting tensor networks of sizes previously deemed out of reach. The main contribution of this work is a parallelization scheme called index slicing that breaks down an infeasibly large tensor network contraction task into smaller subtasks that can be executed fully in parallel, without interdependencies or intermediate communications. As a benchmarking example, we show that our algorithm can reduce the simulation of the Sycamore random circuit sampling task to less than 20 days, achieving an acceleration of over five orders of magnitude compared to the original proposal. We then showcase the capabilities of the simulation framework via investigations of near-term quantum algorithms and quantum error correction. Given the ubiquity of tensor networks in quantum information science, we believe that our simulation framework will be a valuable tool in the era of quantum information technology.

Socio-ecological gap analysis to forecast species range contractions for conservation

Conservation requires both a needs assessment and prioritization scheme for planning and implementation. Range maps are critical for understanding and conserving biodiversity, but current range maps often omit content, negating important metrics of variation in populations and places. Here, we integrate a myriad of conditions that are spatially explicit across distributions of carnivores to identify gaps in capacity necessary for their conservation. Expanding on traditional gap analyses that focus almost exclusively on quantifying discordance in protected area coverage across a species' range, our work aggregates threat layers (e.g., drought, human pressures) with resources layers (e.g., protected areas, cultural diversity) to identify gaps in available conservation capacity (ACC) across ranges for 91 African carnivores. Our model indicated that all species have some portion of their range at risk of contraction, with an average of 15 percentage range loss. We found that the ACC differed based on body size and taxonomy. Results deviated from current perceptions of extinction risks for species with an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) threat status of Least Concern and yielded insights for species categorized as Data Deficient. Our socio-ecological gap analysis presents a geospatial approach to inform decision-making and resource allocation in conservation. Ultimately, our work advances forecasting dynamics of species' ranges that are increasingly vital in an era of great socio-ecological change to mitigate human–wildlife conflict and promote inclusive carnivore conservation across geographies.

Range contractions and reduced body mass predicted for endemic skinks of the Cameroon volcanic line with future warming

Aim The vulnerability of montane species to environmental change has been increasingly recognized over the past decade. However, most of these species are regionally endemic with restricted ranges, limiting dispersal necessary for avoiding extinction. Threats posed for montane lizards could be further complicated in species following Bergmann's rule, where body size increases with altitude. In this study, we applied a bioclimatic and body mass trait-based species distribution model approach to identify areas suitable for montane endemic skink species of the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) under current and future climates. Location Cameroon Volcanic Line Methods We recorded occurrence records and measured body mass in the field for skink species endemic to the CVL. We additionally supplemented our occurrence data with records from an online repository. We projected habitat suitability in the region by implementing the occurrence data in the bioclimatic species distribution models. We further integrated both occurrence and body mass information in our trait-based model to project potential body mass. Results Projected currently suitable ranges were limited to higher elevation regions, which are inhabited by numerous other threatened amphibian and reptile species. We found that, for our two skink species following Bergmann clines in body mass, trait model predictions covered a slightly larger geographic range than bioclimatic estimates. Under future warming, both models predict substantial contractions in suitable areas, potentially constraining species to mountain tops. Through the trait-based approach, we further detected potential warming-induced body mass reductions in projected suitable areas. Main conclusions We thus demonstrate how combining occurrence records with species trait information in predictive modelling can reveal complementary trends for more comprehensive climate change impact assessments. Overall, these challenges towards the persistence of CVL-endemic skink species should prompt urgent responses in national conservation management and local community engagement.
