Drying Halves Decomposition Rates in River Networks by Decreasing Decomposer DiversityNARA Subscribed
River drying is intensifying worldwide due to climate change and increasing water abstraction, with major consequences for riverine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In river networks, drying not only alters local environmental conditions but also disrupts hydrological connectivity, reshaping the movement of organisms and resources at the river network scale. Leaf litter decomposition—a key ecosystem function in freshwat...
Aim Understanding the joint influence of natural disturbance regime, connectivity and biogeography on the seasonal variation of community structure. Location Drying river networks (DRN) in Europe. Time Period Present. Major Taxa Studied Aquatic macroinvertebrates. Methods We analyse the taxonomic and trait structure of 638 macroinvertebrate communities sampled across 125 reaches with perennial and intermittent streamflow, surv...
The dynamics of cyclic populations distributed in space result from the relative strength of synchronising influences and the limited dispersal of destabilising factors (activators and inhibitors), known to cause multi‐annual population cycles. However, while each of these have been well studied in isolation, there is limited empirical evidence of how the processes of synchronisation and activation–inhibition act together, lar...
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...
Researchers concerned with sustainable management of forests in the tropics have argued that the road to improved stewardship of forest resources is the transfer of responsibility to the local communities who get their livelihoods from them. On the other hand, conservationists have declared that the only way to stem the tide of deforestation is to place as many tracts as possible under strict protection. In this context, Mexic...
