Free Tools—Not So “Free”? The Evolution, Risks and Costs of Fishery Stock Assessment ToolsNARA Subscribed
In fisheries stock assessment, free software tools have proliferated in recent years. These tools provide standardised and, in many cases, well‐tested and efficient ways to conduct and support stock assessments, making cutting edge expertise globally accessible. However, they come with considerable ongoing costs, beyond their conceptual development and coding. We seek to understand and analyse the process by which fisheries st...
Fisheries stock assessment capacity faces resource constraints in many countries, including limited personnel, high workloads, and restricted funding. Stock assessment scientists often operate under short timelines, with outcomes that can influence livelihoods and receive public scrutiny. Scientists frequently manage multiple assessments each year, making time management a challenge. Consequently, finding opportunities to inve...
Historical Land Use Drives Present Microbial Community Assembly in an Extreme EnvironmentNARA Subscribed
The extent to which past disturbances influence present‐day microbial composition and assembly remains poorly understood, especially in extreme environments such as deserts. Using a phylogenetic framework of diversity partitioning, linked to soil composition, we aimed to disentangle the impacts of past disturbance on present‐day bacterial and fungal communities, where we also distinguish abundant and rare taxa. Our findings de...
Pond aquaculture and water protection in Europe suffer from conflicts, whereas multitrophic freshwater aquaculture technologies face hardships with over‐regulations in Europe. As such, inland freshwater aquaculture in land‐locked Europe has not given its contribution or echoed its importance in regional food system dialogues. The emphasis on marine cages and RAS‐based aquaculture is enormous. Almost if they are the only viable...
The aims of this review are to describe the role of ‘blue‐food production’ (animals, plants and algae harvested from freshwater and marine environments) within a circular bioeconomy, discuss how such a framework can help the sustainability and resilience of aquaculture and to summarise key examples of novel nutrient sources that are emerging in the field of fed‐aquaculture species. Aquaculture now provides >50% of the global s...
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...
