Purpose Many abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients develop intraluminal thrombus (ILT), but the role of ILT in AAA progression and rupture is poorly understood. Methods To evaluate ILT in AAAs, we induced AAAs in C57Bl6/J mice via surgical application of topical elastase to the abdominal aorta below the renal arteries and administration of β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) in drinking water. Ultrasound images of these AAAs were c...
Viral transfer from managed pollinators potentially threatens wild pollinators and may be exacerbated by land‐use changes. Our causal models and plant‐pollinator network data from 48 European urban and agricultural landscapes revealed the ecological mechanisms underpinning viral transmission. Host identity, network architecture and land‐use modulated viral dynamics (black queen cell virus, BQCV; deformed wing virus, DWV‐A and...

Trophic Interactions Are Key to Understanding the Effects of Global Change on the Distribution and Functional Role of the Brown BearNARA Subscribed
Biotic interactions are expected to influence species' responses to global changes, but they are rarely considered across broad spatial extents. Abiotic factors are thought to operate at larger spatial scales, while biotic factors, such as species interactions, are considered more important at local scales within communities, in part because of the knowledge gap on species interactions at large spatial scales (i.e., the Eltoni...
Motivation Pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. However, rapid human‐induced environmental changes are compromising the long‐term persistence of plant‐pollinator interactions. Unfortunately, we lack robust, generalisable data capturing how plant‐pollinator communities are structured across space and time. Here, we present the EuPPollNet (European Plant‐Pollinator Networks) database,...
Impact of Z chromosome inversions on gene expression in testis and liver tissues in the zebra finchNARA Subscribed
Chromosomal inversions have been identified in many natural populations and can be responsible for novel traits and rapid adaptation. In zebra finch, a large region on the Z chromosome has been subject to multiple inversions, which have pleiotropic effects on multiple traits but especially on sperm phenotypes, such as midpiece and flagellum length. To understand the effect, the Z inversion has on these traits, we examined test...
