Natal philopatry, the practice of a mother reproducing in the same region as her natal site, has been documented in numerous species. Studies on marine mammal philopatry have primarily focused on cross-colony scales, leaving a knowledge gap for fine-scale philopatry within colonies. We sought to identify the rate of fine-scale natal philopatry in northern elephant seals, sustained site fidelity across years, and additional dri...

Sampling completeness changes perceptions of continental scale climate–species richness relationships in odonatesNARA Subscribed
Aim Insects are one of the least studied taxa, with most species lacking basic ecological and biogeographical information. This problem is particularly acute in the tropics, where low sampling effort hampers accurate estimates of species richness at scale and potentially confounds efforts to identify the drivers of biogeographical gradients. Here, we evaluate the quality of the data on the distribution and diversity of odonate...
Effects of extreme phases of El Niño–Southern Oscillation on rainfall extremes in Alagoas, BrazilNARA Subscribed
The Northeast of Brazil (NEB) is influenced by the phases of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which are associated with increased or decreased rainfall in the East NEB (ENEB). The study evaluated the effects of extreme ENSO phases on rainfall extremes in ENEB. Rainfall data from 54 stations in Alagoas were obtained from the National Water and Basic Sanitation Agency (ANA) and subjected to statistical analysis, with a data...
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...
