First report of the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei infecting bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) in EthiopiaNARA Subscribed
The root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei Sher & Allen, 1953 is one of the major constraints limiting wheat production and productivity in many wheat-growing regions worldwide. However, information on its occurrence and pathogenicity in Ethiopia remains limited. In this study, root-lesion nematodes extracted from soil and infected root samples collected from wheat fields in the East and West Arsi zones were identified as P...
Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique environmental conditions that support extensive but poorly resolved biodiversity. Here, we applied metagenomic analyses to sediment samples collected from coastal to deep‐sea environments during the Red Sea Decade Expedition 2022 to...
Integrated Reanalysis of Global Riverine Fish eDNA Datasets Shows Robustness and Congruence of Biodiversity ConclusionsNARA Subscribed
The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized biodiversity assessments in aquatic ecosystems, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of fish communities across diverse regions. However, the global comparability of these eDNA datasets remains ambiguous due to heterogeneous sampling protocols and bioinformatic workflows across studies, making it difficult to assess how robust and comparable the biodiversity patterns infe...
Geographic Variation in the Diet of Red Knot ( Calidris canutus ) Chicks Reflects Local Prey CommunitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot ( Calidris canutus ), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology. Location Northwest Alaska (Nome), Northeast Greenland (Zackenberg) and North‐Central Russia (Taimyr Peninsula). Taxon Red Knot (Aves: Calidris can...
Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
Trade‐offs are an inherent feature of organismal biology and fundamental to the evolution of natural populations. Here, we use experimental evolution in large, genetically diverse populations of Drosophila melanogaster to directly measure the manifestation of trade‐offs in response to fluctuating selection on ecological timescales. We first conducted a lab‐based selection experiment to quantify a genome‐wide signal of fluctuat...
A comparison of pharmacometric software programs for atezolizumab population pharmacokinetic simulationNARA Subscribed
Purpose We compare our experience with three pharmacometric modeling workflows for simulating alternative dosing regimens of atezolizumab: (1) the gold-standard, NONMEM software used in combination with R, (2) the R-based package RxODE, and (3) the recently developed Julia-based software Pumas, discussing the advantages and limitations of each. Methods Our prior work demonstrated that an extended-interval dosing regimen (840 m...
