A bird’s-eye view reveals no fixed differences in plumage coloration between divergent populations of Painted BuntingsNARA Subscribed
In birds, the process of speciation is closely associated with transitions in ornamentation, including coloration, plumage pattern, and song. To investigate the origins of these shifts and their connection to genetic changes, we conducted a study on one of the most highly ornamented songbirds, the Painted Bunting ( Passerina ciris ). The male Painted Buntings exhibits a stunning array of colors, with a red chest, blue head, gr...
Refuge‐yeah or refuge‐nah? Predicting locations of forest resistance and recruitment in a fiery worldNARA Subscribed
Climate warming, land use change, and altered fire regimes are driving ecological transformations that can have critical effects on Earth's biota. Fire refugia—locations that are burned less frequently or severely than their surroundings—may act as sites of relative stability during this period of rapid change by being resistant to fire and supporting post‐fire recovery in adjacent areas. Because of their value to forest ecosy...
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...
