Background The brainstem is a vital component of the cerebro-cerebellar network underlying cognition, however it remains unclear whether brainstem volumes are associated with cognitive functioning in MS. Objective Investigate the relationship between brainstem volumes and cognitive impairment in MS, as assessed by the BICAMS battery (processing speed, verbal and visuospatial memory). Methods We analyzed data from the VOLUMS (V...
The routine generation of species distribution data at scale remains a challenge. We used aquatic environmental DNA metabarcoding to sample vertebrate species across the 30,000 km 2 Gaoligongshan region along the China–Myanmar border. In just 56 calendar days (33 researcher‐field‐days + 69 researcher‐lab‐days), we detected 389 vertebrate species, of which 35 are Red‐Listed. We introduce the ‘eDNA‐aware’ OccPlus occupancy model...
Priority conservation areas for protected saproxylic beetles in Romania under current and future climate scenariosNARA Subscribed
Climate change threatens species and ecosystems globally, including forest ecosystems that support rich invertebrate diversity. Saproxylic beetles, that depend on old-growth trees and deadwood, are facing increasing pressure. Consequently, conserving these beetles has become a priority for EU Member States. We developed ensemble species distribution models for five saproxylic beetles for current and three future time horizons...
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...
