Parasites play a critical yet understudied role in Arctic ecosystems, particularly within key subsistence species such as Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ). As the Arctic undergoes rapid climate-driven change, establishing baseline parasite biodiversity is essential for monitoring ecological shifts and anticipating emerging health and conservation concerns. This study provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of Arct...
Five years of national airborne pollen monitoring in South Africa: biome-specific calendars to inform allergy diagnosis and preventionNARA Subscribed
Pollen monitoring is crucial for understanding seasonal patterns, supporting allergy diagnosis and informing early warning tools to mitigate allergic diseases. The Southern Hemisphere lacks long-term pollen seasonal data, with extremely few records from Africa. We present pollen calendars based on five years of data from South Africa. Airborne pollen from 2019 to 2024 across South African biomes was collected in seven cities u...
From Pixels to Pods: Integrating Drones and Machine Learning Techniques to Understand Cetacean Social DynamicsNARA Subscribed
Our ability to study the fine‐scale behavior of cetaceans is evolving rapidly with the use of drones (or unoccupied aircraft systems) as platforms to observe and record behavior and with the emergence of machine learning and data science tools to quantify these observations. Together, these tools can provide an unprecedented perspective on the surface and near‐surface behaviors of cetaceans and the dynamics of their social gro...
Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback WhalesNARA Subscribed
Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices, enhancing observational availability and reproducibility. However, the suitability...

Standardized microhaplotype databases and frameworks for assessing and mining crop genetic diversityNARA Subscribed
Keymessage Standardized microhaplotype databases for eight diverse crops enable multiallelic analyses, comparative genetics, and breeding decisions. Abstract Microhaplotypes are short genomic segments that contain multiple tightly linked variants, providing multi-allelic data that can enhance genetic resolution compared to traditional biallelic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Here, we present the creation and uti...
