Expanding insights into plant rhabdovirus diversity through the discovery of viruses representing 32 putative novel speciesNARA Subscribed
Plant-infecting rhabdoviruses (family Rhabdoviridae , subfamily Betarhabdovirinae ) include several viruses that cause important crop diseases and are subject to phytosanitary regulation. Despite their agricultural and ecological importance, the diversity of plant rhabdoviruses and their impact on plant health remain poorly understood. Here, we report 32 tentative novel species of plant-infecting rhabdoviruses, identified via...
It is well known that significant amounts of radioxenon radionuclides are released from Medical Isotope Production Facilities and to a lesser extent from Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). These emissions cause a background in the atmosphere that is often detected by noble gas systems of the International Monitoring System (IMS) operated by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization Preparatory Commission for nuclear expl...
Submarine landslides can generate tsunamis and pose risks to underwater infrastructure, but a lack of direct observations of such slides hinders our understanding of their development and hazard potential. Studying the morphology of past slides can offer insights into their preconditioning and failure. Here, new high‐quality 2D and 3D seismic data were used to determine, for the first time, the extent and morphology of the Sta...
Carbon dioxide activated biochars as mediators for reductive debromination of 1,2-dibromoethaneNARA Subscribed
The fuel additive and pesticide 1,2-dibromoethane (DBA) is a problematic organic pollutant found in soil and aquifers. Remediation methods face drawbacks because of undesirable by-products and slow rates of removal. Biochars (BCs) are catalysts of reductive dehalogenation in anoxic environments by the layered iron(II)-iron(III) hydroxide green rust (GR). However, so far, such catalytic properties have generally only been obser...
Seasonal and spatial transitions in phytoplankton assemblages spanning estuarine to open ocean waters of the tropical PacificNARA Subscribed
Islands in the tropical Pacific supply elevated nutrients to nearshore waters that enhance phytoplankton biomass and create hotspots of productivity in otherwise nutrient‐poor oceans. Despite the importance of these hotspots in supporting nearshore food webs, the spatial and temporal variability of phytoplankton enhancement and changes in the underlying phytoplankton communities across nearshore to open ocean systems remain po...

Convergence Research and Training in Computational Bioengineering: A Case Study on AI/ML-Driven Biofilm–Material Interaction DiscoveryNARA Subscribed
Historically, research disciplines have successfully operated independently. However, the emergence of transdisciplinary research has led to convergence methodologies, resulting in groundbreaking discoveries. Despite the benefits, graduate programs face challenges in implementing transdisciplinary research and preparing students for real-world collaboration across diverse disciplines and experience levels. We propose a converg...
Spatial and temporal zooplankton feeding dynamics across the water column of lakes are key for understanding site-specific acquisition of diet sources. During this 6-week lake study, we examined stable carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) isotopes and conducted compound-specific fatty acid (FA) stable isotope analysis (CSIA) of edible seston in the epi-, meta-, and hypolimnion, and zooplankton of Lake Lunz, Austria. We predic...
Biodistribution of Drug/ADA Complexes: The Impact of Immune Complex Formation on Antibody DistributionNARA Subscribed
The clinical use of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, and other indications has been successfully established. A critical aspect of drug-antibody pharmacokinetics is immunogenicity, which triggers an immune response via an anti-drug antibody (ADA) and forms drug/ADA immune complexes (ICs). As a consequence, there may be a reduced efficacy upon neutralization by ADA or an accele...
Wind and small mammals are complementary fungal dispersersNARA Subscribed
Following a disturbance, dispersal shapes community composition as well as ecosystem structure and function. For fungi, dispersal is often wind or mammal facilitated, but it is unclear whether these pathways are complementary or redundant in the taxa they disperse and the ecosystem functions they provide. Here, we compare the diversity and morphology of fungi dispersed by wind and three rodent species in recently harvested for...
Is the future female for turtles? Climate change and wetland configuration predict sex ratios of a freshwater speciesNARA Subscribed
Climate change and land‐use change are leading drivers of biodiversity decline, affecting demographic parameters that are important for population persistence. For example, scientists have speculated for decades that climate change may skew adult sex ratios in taxa that express temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD), but limited evidence exists that this phenomenon is occurring in natural settings. For species that are...
