Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
FreshLanDiv : A Global Database of Freshwater Biodiversity Across Different Land UsesNARA Subscribed
Motivation Freshwater ecosystems have been heavily impacted by land‐use changes, but data syntheses on these impacts are still limited. Here, we compiled a global database encompassing 241 studies with species abundance data (from multiple biological groups and geographic locations) across sites with different land‐use categories. This compilation will be useful for addressing questions regarding land‐use change and its impact...
Anthropogenic global warming has major implications for mobile terrestrial insects, including long‐term effects from constant warming, for example, on species distribution patterns, and short‐term effects from heat extremes that induce immediate physiological responses. To cope with heat extremes, they either have to reduce their activity or move to preferable microhabitats. The availability of favorable microhabitat condition...
Can global models provide insights into regional mitigation strategies? A diagnostic model comparison study of bioenergy in BrazilNARA Subscribed
The usefulness of global integrated assessment model (IAM) results for policy recommendation in specific regions has not been fully assessed to date. This study presents the variation in results across models for a given region, and what might be behind this variation and how model assumptions and structures drive results. Understanding what drives the differences across model results is important for national policy relevance...
Frag SAD : A database of diversity and species abundance distributions from habitat fragmentsNARA Subscribed
Habitat destruction is the single greatest anthropogenic threat to biodiversity. Decades of research on this issue have led to the accumulation of hundreds of data sets comparing species assemblages in larger, intact, habitats to smaller, more fragmented, habitats. Despite this, little synthesis or consensus has been achieved, primarily because of non‐standardized sampling methodology and analyses of notoriously scale‐dependen...
Dynamic virulence‐related regions of the plant pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae display enhanced sequence conservationNARA Subscribed
Plant pathogens continuously evolve to evade host immune responses. During host colonization, many fungal pathogens secrete effectors to perturb such responses, but these in turn may become recognized by host immune receptors. To facilitate the evolution of effector repertoires, such as the elimination of recognized effectors, effector genes often reside in genomic regions that display increased plasticity, a phenomenon that i...
Political and economic transitions have had substantial impacts on forest conservation. Where transitions are underway or anticipated, historical precedent and methods for systematically assessing future trends should be used to anticipate likely threats to forest conservation and design appropriate and prescient policy measures to counteract them. Myanmar is transitioning from an authoritarian, centralized state with a highly...
Changes in microbial communities in coastal sediments along natural CO 2 gradients at a volcanic vent in P apua N ew G uineaNARA Subscribed
Summary Natural CO 2 venting systems can mimic conditions that resemble intermediate to high p CO 2 levels as predicted for our future oceans. They represent ideal sites to investigate potential long‐term effects of ocean acidification on marine life. To test whether microbes are affected by prolonged exposure to p CO 2 levels, we examined the composition and diversity of microbial communities in oxic sandy sediments along a n...
