Multiple Eurasian Origins and Admixture Shaped the Genomic Legacy of the House Mouse Invasion in AfricaNARA Subscribed
Commensal mammals offer unique opportunities to study how human‐mediated dispersal, admixture, and secondary contact shape genomic variation during range expansion, yet for one of the most successful invasive commensals globally, the western house mouse Mus musculus domesticus , invasion dynamics across Africa remain largely unexplored. Here, we present a large‐scale population genomic analysis of 380 whole‐genome sequences, i...
Motivation The database initiated by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) is one of the few globally implemented standardized vegetation surveys in mountains. The focus is on collecting plant species occurrences at 5‐year intervals along and adjacent to mountain roads spanning elevational gradients, with the goal of providing critical information about the ongoing spread of non‐native plants and the potential impacts...
Integrated Reanalysis of Global Riverine Fish eDNA Datasets Shows Robustness and Congruence of Biodiversity ConclusionsNARA Subscribed
The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized biodiversity assessments in aquatic ecosystems, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of fish communities across diverse regions. However, the global comparability of these eDNA datasets remains ambiguous due to heterogeneous sampling protocols and bioinformatic workflows across studies, making it difficult to assess how robust and comparable the biodiversity patterns infe...
Relationships among peri-traumatic circulating endocannabinoids and long-term, negative outcomes following traumatic injuryNARA Subscribed
Rationale Traumatically injured individuals can develop chronic negative psychological sequelae. Improved understanding of contributing, peri-traumatic risk factors is essential to reduce the risk of these consequences. Previous studies have found that peri-traumatic, circulating endocannabinoid concentrations are positively associated with development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain and depression month...
Nonlinear thinking in ecology and evolution: applying the threshold elemental ratio across levels of ecological organizationNARA Subscribed
Nonlinear dynamics govern ecological processes; thus, understanding thresholds is important for measuring and forecasting the effects of climate change and management of natural resources. However, identifying whether and how such thresholds transfer across ecological levels of organization remains challenging. We argue for a broadening of a foundational organismal concept from ecological stoichiometry theory, the threshold el...
Spatiotemporal Patterns and Drivers of Fish Biodiversity on a Remote Freshwater ArchipelagoNARA Subscribed
Aim Fish communities are shaped by environmental filters operating across different spatiotemporal scales. While many recent studies focus on anthropogenic gradients, few can isolate the role of natural drivers in community assembly. Isle Royale's inland lakes offer a rare opportunity to explore long‐term fish biodiversity dynamics with minimal confounding influences. We analysed fish communities in 23 lakes surveyed in the 19...
Minimising bycatch is a pervasive challenge for sustainable fisheries management, the importance of which is amplified for non‐target species or populations that are in decline. In the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) walleye pollock ( Gadus chalcogrammus ) fishery, salmon—most notably Chinook ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) and chum ( O. keta )—are encountered as bycatch. Salmon bycatch in the EBS pollock fishery has become an issue of...
