Ocean acidification (OA) generally receives far less consideration than other climate stressors and related hazards, such as global warming and extreme weather events. Canada is uniquely vulnerable to OA given its extensive coastal oceans, the oceanographic processes in its three basins, accelerated warming and sea-ice melt, and extensive coastal communities and maritime economic sectors. Canada’s coastline is also home to ext...
Plankton communities today and tomorrow—potential impacts of multiple global change drivers and marine heatwavesNARA Subscribed
In the context of global change, marine organisms are subjected not only to gradual changes in abiotic parameters, but also to an increasing number of extreme events, such as heatwaves. However, we still know little about the influence of heatwaves on the structure of marine communities, and experimental studies are needed to test the impact of heatwaves alone and in combination with other environmental drivers. Here, we condu...
Orthoptera provide a well‐documented case of transspecies colour polymorphism, with green and brown morphs coexisting in many species. This colour polymorphism is likely under long‐term balancing selection, but the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the variation remain poorly understood. Here, we used transcriptome data alongside a novel chromosome‐level assembly to perform differential gene expression analysis in th...
Trends in agricultural technology: a review of US patentsNARA Subscribed
Background In recent decades, technological advances have significantly transformed various sectors of the economy, including agriculture. Precision agriculture, as a multidisciplinary and integrative approach, relies on the convergence of diverse technologies to optimize decision-making and enhance productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. In these evolving and complex technological landscapes, patents play a pivotal role...
Phenology and yield do not scale from single row to whole plot in chickpea and lentilNARA Subscribed
Reliable phenotyping is critical for pre-breeding and breeding. Some traits such as herbicide tolerance are more likely to scale from plant to crop than others such as yield. Here we compared phenology, yield and its components in two arrangements—single rows and whole plots—for 10 chickpea and 10 lentil cultivars in 11 (chickpea) and 10 (lentil) Australian environments resulting from the combination of location, season, and s...
Understanding and Predicting Population Response to Anthropogenic Disturbance: Current Approaches and Novel OpportunitiesNARA Subscribed
Effective conservation of biodiversity depends on the successful management of wildlife populations and their habitats. Successful management, in turn, depends on our ability to understand and accurately forecast how populations and communities respond to human‐induced changes in their environments. However, quantifying how these stressors impact population dynamics remains challenging. Another significant hurdle at this inter...
Orthopteran Neo‐Sex Chromosomes Reveal Dynamics of Recombination Suppression and Evolution of SupergenesNARA Subscribed
The early evolution of sex chromosomes has remained obscure for more than a century. The Vandiemenella viatica species group of morabine grasshoppers is highly suited for studying the early stages of sex chromosome divergence and degeneration of the Y chromosome. This stems from the fact that neo‐XY sex chromosomes have independently evolved multiple times by X‐autosome fusions with different autosomes. Here, we generated new...
Stem respiration and growth in a central Amazon rainforestNARA Subscribed
Fish processing generates plenty of waste that is directly discarded in open‐air dumps and water sources, or treated in the same way as urban solid waste, causing serious pollution problems. The waste represents a significant source of high‐value bioproducts with potential applications in different industrial processes such as the production of feed, fertilizers, biodiesel and biogas, detergent additives and cosmetics. The obj...
