Neither your URL nor your DOI resolves. I meant rather the correspondence of

    https://www.nature.com/articles/1771046b0

    to

    10.1038/1771046b0
or

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04114-w
    
    to
    
    10.1038/s41586-021-04114-w

Look at the metadata of those two articles.

    https://www.nature.com/articles/1771046b0
    has
    <meta name="dc.identifier" content="doi:10.1038/1771046b0"/>
and

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04114-w
    has
    <meta name="dc.identifier" content="doi:10.1038/s41586-021-04114-w"/>

They aren’t meant to resolve, but to show the difference between friendly and unfriendly ways to construct a URL (or URI if you prefer).

But yes that’s interesting and good to know that sometimes they can choose to use corresponding components in the URL versus DOI.
