Seasonal variation in zooplankton assemblages in Ryder Bay, Adelaide Island, Antarctic PeninsulaNARA Subscribed
Seasonal and inter-annual variations in zooplankton play a vital role in marine ecosystems. In Antarctica, because of the extreme seasonality and ice extent, zooplankton studies are predominantly conducted in summer and are based offshore. Therefore the drivers of variability are poorly understood. Here, we present one of the few year-round studies of seasonality of zooplankton communities at a coastal site in Ryder Bay, Weste...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful, non-invasive tool for detecting invasive species at an early stage, even when populations are small or elusive. Its high sensitivity can reveal introductions that might otherwise go unnoticed for decades. Large-scale eDNA surveys of freshwater bivalves across French rivers uncovered the presence of Unio carneus , a mussel species endemic to the Drin Basin in the Balkans and threatened in...
Long Term Marine Biodiversity Monitoring in Coastal Antarctica: Are Fewer Rare Species Recruiting?NARA Subscribed
The physical environment of nearshore Southern Ocean (coastal Antarctica) is altering rapidly in response to climate change, but also has other long cyclicity due to El Nino Southern Oscillation and Southern Annular Mode. Detecting biological responses to such physical change, which is complex in time and space, is very challenging not least because of remoteness, difficulty of access, frequency of iceberg destruction and shor...
CamTrapAsia : A dataset of tropical forest vertebrate communities from 239 camera trapping studiesNARA Subscribed
Information on tropical Asian vertebrates has traditionally been sparse, particularly when it comes to cryptic species inhabiting the dense forests of the region. Vertebrate populations are declining globally due to land‐use change and hunting, the latter frequently referred as “defaunation.” This is especially true in tropical Asia where there is extensive land‐use change and high human densities. Robust monitoring requires t...
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
Large‐scale impact of climate change vs. land‐use change on future biome shifts in Latin AmericaNARA Subscribed
Climate change and land‐use change are two major drivers of biome shifts causing habitat and biodiversity loss. What is missing is a continental‐scale future projection of the estimated relative impacts of both drivers on biome shifts over the course of this century. Here, we provide such a projection for the biodiverse region of Latin America under four socio‐economic development scenarios. We find that across all scenarios 5...
