ANDES: Agent Native Data Evolving Synthesis Tool for Autonomous Instruction Alignment
arXiv:2606.01279v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are increasingly being tasked with automating AI research itself, particularly the critical post-training phase that transforms base LLMs into aligned assistants. However, recent evaluations reveal that even frontier agents struggle to perform this task. While the success of post-training fundamentally relies on acquiring high-quality data, relying on agents to autonomously curate targeted training datasets from the open web...
Two Singapore residents who were on hantavirus-hit cruise ship complete quarantine
Two Singapore residents who were on hantavirus-hit cruise ship complete quarantine “Both of them are well, and have tested negative for hantavirus, including the Andes virus, before release from quarantine,” said the Communicable Diseases Agency. The two Singapore residents who were on board the hantavirus-hit cruise ship MV Hondius have been released from quarantine after testing negative. The Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) on Sunday (Jun 7) said the men completed their quarantine on...
Commentary: The most concerning outbreak right now isn’t Ebola or hantavirus
Commentary: The most concerning outbreak right now isn’t Ebola or hantavirus Despite being the leading cause of vaccine-preventable child deaths worldwide, measles doesn’t garner much attention, says Hsu Li Yang of the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health. SINGAPORE: Two rare and deadly infectious diseases drew significant international coverage and public attention in May: the Andes hantavirus on board the cruise ship MV Hondius and the Bundibugyo Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic...

Rusty, orange water 'bleeds' across brilliant Bolivian lagoon — Earth from space A 2015 astronaut photo shows dark-orange water that appears to bleed across the bright-white floor of a high-altitude salt lake in the Bolivian Andes. QUICK FACTS Where is it? Laguna Colorada, Altiplano, Bolivia
Hantavirus: Scientists head to western Argentina to trace outbreak source
Hantavirus: Argentina expands probe to trace outbreak source June 6, 2026Argentina is expanding its investigation into the source of a deadly hantavirus outbreak in April to the western province of Mendoza, the Health Ministry said on Friday. Hantavirus is a rare rodent-borne illness that has multiple strains of varying severity. The outbreak aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius is linked to the Andes hantavirus strain, endemic to parts of Argentina and Chile, though not in Mendoza.
Thanks to natural selection, Indigenous Andeans may digest potatoes better than anyone else in the world, study finds
Thanks to natural selection, Indigenous Andeans may digest potatoes better than anyone else in the world, study finds After domesticating potatoes 10,000 years ago, the ancient people of the Andes evolved to have more copies of a key gene involved in digesting starch. Indigenous Andeans in Peru may be able to digest potatoes and other starches more easily than anyone in the world, a new study finds. Scientists discovered that Indigenous Andeans have more copies of the gene for saliva-based...
Endemic, epidemic, pandemic: What's the difference?
The Andes hantavirus outbreak shows how easily disease labels are misunderstood — and why they describe patterns of spread, not how dangerous a virus is.
Temporal persistence of admixed phenotypes in a damselfly hybrid zone
In odonates, hybridization has been documented in several species pairs, yet the long-term persistence of hybrid phenotypes remains poorly understood, particularly in Neotropical systems. Here, we investigate a putative hybrid zone between Ischnura capreolus and Ischnura cyane, which overlap along an altitudinal gradient in the Colombian Andes. We combined temporal sampling across sympatric and allopatric localities with multilocus genetic analyses and geometric morphometrics of wings and...
Genotypic and multi-environment phenotypic evaluation of the lima bean USDA National Plant Germplasm System collection
Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is an economically and agronomically important grain legume. Lima beans (or limas) show a range of climatic adaptations with independent domestications in the Andes (large-seeded) and Mesoamerica (small- or medium-seeded). We generated and integrated genotypic and comprehensive field- and laboratory-based phenotypic information for the available accessions in the USDA National Plant Germplasm System collection across multiple environments to inform germplasm...
What is hantavirus?
Three people have died on a cruise ship in the Atlantic, reportedly from hantavirus. The dangerous Andes strain has been confirmed in two cases. What are the symptoms, and how is it transmitted?
