Evolutionary potential, the capacity to evolve in response to environmental change, is important for the persistence of threatened species. This potential is diminished by genetic drift in small populations, causing the loss of genetic diversity and reduced efficiency of selection. We introduce an approach to evaluate evolutionary potential that integrates across these components by conducting genome‐scale selection analyses o...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Views and experiences regarding workplace genetic testing: findings from a national survey of U.S. employeesNARA Subscribed
The emergence of voluntary health-related genetic testing in workplace wellness programs indicates a need to understand employees’ views and experiences regarding workplace genetic testing (wGT). A large, diverse national sample of employed adults ( N =2000; median age=43 years; 51.1% female; 33% non-white) completed a web survey of their wGT views and experiences. Although 80% of participants indicated their employer did not...
Recombination Rate and Recurrent Linked Selection Shape Correlated Genomic Landscapes Across a Continuum of Divergence in SwallowsNARA Subscribed
Disentangling the drivers of genomic divergence during speciation is essential to our broader understanding of the generation of biological diversity. Genetic changes accumulate at variable rates across the genome as populations diverge, leading to heterogenous landscapes of genetic differentiation. The ‘islands of differentiation’ that characterise these landscapes harbour genetic signatures of the evolutionary processes that...
Eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) creates valuable, biodiverse habitats worldwide, but is at risk from combined environmental stressors and disease. We surveyed paired intertidal and subtidal meadows for seagrass wasting disease in the San Juan Islands, WA, USA in summers 2017–2019 to determine how disease varied with depth, temperature, and salinity. We expected reduced disease in deeper meadows with more stable environmental condi...
Rhenium-osmium and oxygen isotope homogeneity during the 2022 Mauna Loa eruption and implications for basaltic magma storageNARA Subscribed
Mauna Loa is one of the largest and most active volcanoes on Earth. The most recent eruption of Mauna Loa started on 27 November 2022, lasted for 13 days, and was preceded by the longest repose time of 38 years in its modern history. In this contribution, new trace- and highly siderophile-element (HSE: Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd, Re) abundances, 187 Re- 187 Os, and 18 O/ 16 O data are reported for the 2022 lavas. These lavas have a li...
Female space use correlates with extra-pair mating in barn swallow replacement clutchesNARA Subscribed
Extra-pair mating is common in avian species and can modulate the strength of sexual selection. Mate searching behavior of female birds may be an important predictor of mating opportunities and extra-pair mating, yet important knowledge is lacking as we have little data on fine-scale movement of females during the peak fertilization period. Accordingly, much is still unknown about whether and how female phenotypes contribute t...
SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of specie...
Seagrass wasting disease prevalence and lesion area increase with invertebrate grazing across the northeastern PacificNARA Subscribed
Disease is a key driver of community and ecosystem structure, especially when it strikes foundation species. In the widespread marine foundation species eelgrass ( Zostera marina ), outbreaks of wasting disease have caused large‐scale meadow collapse in the past, and the causative pathogen, Labyrinthula zosterae , is commonly found in meadows globally. Research to date has mainly focused on abiotic environmental drivers of sea...
Although invertebrate herbivores commonly impact terrestrial plant diseases by facilitating transmission of plant pathogens and increasing host susceptibility to infection via wounding, less is known about the role of herbivores in marine plant disease dynamics. Importantly, transmission via herbivores may not be required in the ocean since saline ocean waters support pathogen survival and transmission. Through laboratory expe...
