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...

Nutritional ecology beyond the individual: a conceptual framework for integrating nutrition and social interactionsNARA Subscribed
Over recent years, modelling approaches from nutritional ecology (known as Nutritional Geometry) have been increasingly used to describe how animals and some other organisms select foods and eat them in appropriate amounts in order to maintain a balanced nutritional state maximising fitness. These nutritional strategies profoundly affect the physiology, behaviour and performance of individuals, which in turn impact their socia...
Modeling spatiotemporal dynamics of outbreaking species: influence of environment and migration in a locustNARA Subscribed
Many pest species exhibit huge fluctuations in population abundance. Understanding their large‐scale and long‐term dynamics is necessary to develop effective control and management strategies. Occupancy models represent a promising approach to unravel interactions between environmental factors and spatiotemporal dynamics of outbreaking populations. Here, we investigated population dynamics of the Australian plague locust, Chor...
During outbreaks, locust swarms can contain millions of insects travelling thousands of kilometers while devastating vegetation and crops. Such large‐scale spatial organization is preceded locally by a dramatic density‐dependent phenotypic transition in multiple traits. Behaviourally, low‐density ‘solitarious’ individuals avoid contact with one another; above a critical local density, they undergo a rapid behavioural transitio...
