In 2023, more than half of olive harvests ( Olea europaea ) across Spain, Greece, and Türkiye were lost to drought. The same year late freeze destroyed 90% of the peach crop ( Prunus persica ) on the Georgia Piedmont and the apple crop ( Malus domestica ) in central New York, Vermont, and southern Quebec. Climate extremes now rank with the costliest threats to agriculture, but their role in forest recovery from diebacks that a...
Disparities in human papillomavirus vaccination uptake across the intersection of disability and sexual orientationNARA Subscribed
Purpose Although human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination provides effective primary prevention against cervical cancer, HPV vaccination rates remain low in the U.S. It is unknown whether women with disabilities and/or LGB + women are likely to experience disparities in HPV vaccination uptake. Methods We used data from the 2014–2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System ( N = 40,401) to estimate HPV vaccination rates among...
Historical genomic variation of Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra) in Britain, from hunting trophiesNARA Subscribed
Genomic data from historical specimens can provide insights into populations and processes no longer evident from modern samples. Identifying viable sources of historical DNA is key to this. Here we aimed to explore the viability of trophy hunting paws as sources of historical DNA, and to use this data for preliminary analyses to evaluate changes in population structuring over time. We aimed to search for the presence of genom...
The Irish Orefield is characterised by the presence of both Zn-Pb- and Cu-Ni-As-rich deposits, prospects, and orebodies in similar structural and stratigraphic positions. However, the genetic relationships between these mineralisation types are still debated. In this article, we present new mineralogical, paragenetic, and mineral-chemical observations from the Cu-Ni-As-rich ores at the classic Lisheen deposit, County Tipperary...
Fisheries science draws on morphometric data for stock assessments. Length–weight relationships are essential for estimating body weight from length measurements taken either underwater (in situ) or out of the water (ex situ). We examined morphometric models for the high-valued sea cucumber, Holothuria lessoni. From 77 specimens captured in 2024 (mean weight ± SD: 1774 ± 372 g), we measured body length and width in situ and ex...
Genome‐wide population affinities and signatures of adaptation in hydruntines, sussemiones and Asian wild assesNARA Subscribed
The extremely rich palaeontological record of the horse family, also known as equids, has provided many examples of macroevolutionary change over the last ~55 Mya. This family is also one of the most documented at the palaeogenomic level, with hundreds of ancient genomes sequenced. While these data have advanced understanding of the domestication history of horses and donkeys, the palaeogenomic record of other equids remains l...
The Relationship Between Maturation Size and Maximum Tree Size From Tropical to Boreal ClimatesNARA Subscribed
The fundamental trade‐off between current and future reproduction has long been considered to result in a tendency for species that can grow large to begin reproduction at a larger size. Due to the prolonged time required to reach maturity, estimates of tree maturation size remain very rare and we lack a global view on the generality and the shape of this trade‐off. Using seed production from five continents, we estimate tree...
Integrated community models—an emerging framework in which multiple data sources for multiple species are analyzed simultaneously—offer opportunities to expand inferences beyond the single‐species and single‐data‐source approaches common in ecology. We developed a novel integrated community model that combines distance sampling and single‐visit count data; within the model, information is shared among data sources (via a joint...
A century of statistical EcologyNARA Subscribed
As data and computing power have surged in recent decades, statistical modeling has become an important tool for understanding ecological patterns and processes. Statistical modeling in ecology faces two major challenges. First, ecological data may not conform to traditional methods, and second, professional ecologists often do not receive extensive statistical training. In response to these challenges, the journal Ecology has...
