Standardized microhaplotype databases and frameworks for assessing and mining crop genetic diversityNARA Subscribed
Keymessage Standardized microhaplotype databases for eight diverse crops enable multiallelic analyses, comparative genetics, and breeding decisions. Abstract Microhaplotypes are short genomic segments that contain multiple tightly linked variants, providing multi-allelic data that can enhance genetic resolution compared to traditional biallelic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Here, we present the creation and uti...
From field to sky: measurement and modeling of transgenic switchgrass pollen dispersal in the atmosphereNARA Subscribed
Accurate tracking and measurement of pollen dispersal in the atmosphere are essential for assessing cross-pollination risks, particularly in the case of genetically engineered (GE) crops. We conducted a series of unique release-recapture field studies with GE switchgrass in Oliver Springs, TN, USA. Two hundred transgenic switchgrass plants ( Panicum virgatum L. “Performer”) were planted at the center of a clear-cut field, with...

Mescaline Alters Cerebellar Function, Global Connectivity, and Frequency-Selective Acoustic Gating: A BOLD fMRI Study in Awake RatsNARA Subscribed
Mescaline, a 5-HT2A agonist psychedelic used ceremonially for millennia, lacks neuroimaging characterization due to its Schedule 1 status. Using pharmacological and resting-state fMRI in awake rats, we report mescaline's first comprehensive neurobiological profile. Acutely, mescaline produced cerebellar-selective BOLD suppression, suggesting functional disconnection from forebrain structures. Paradoxically, resting-state analy...
A photo‐identification technique based on the unique detail of the head markings of individual fish was developed and utilised in a long‐term (>10 years) study at four discrete populations of the southern blue devil ( Paraplesiops meleagris ), a small demersal fish endemic to Australia's Great Southern Reef (GSR). The study revealed novel information on its life history and behaviour, including that population sizes were relat...
Two Contrasting Demographic Processes Shape the Divergence and Evolution of the Widespread Arid Zone Specialist, Petrogale lateralisNARA Subscribed
Organisms living in arid environments are predicted to be at increased risk of extinction under climatic and anthropogenic change. Response to past climate change can provide some insights into these risks; however, our understanding of the diversification and evolutionary history of many arid‐adapted species is still limited, particularly in Australia. Here, we evaluate the demographic and evolutionary history of a widespread...
Angler demographics and motivations are an important consideration to successful fisheries management. We examined 29 years of angler license and activity records from the recreational Atlantic salmon fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada to: (1) provide a contemporary evaluation of angler demographic trends; (2) evaluate age and regional differences between anglers who prioritized retention versus catch‐and‐release; an...
