Divergent Selection on Dispersal Targets Chemosensory and Neuronal Genes in Tribolium castaneumNARA Subscribed
Dispersal is key to the life history, ecology and evolution of many organisms and important in pest invasiveness. However, the genetic architecture underlying variation in dispersal behaviour remains poorly understood outside of a few model species. We investigated the genomic basis of dispersal using artificial selection on replicated lines of Tribolium castaneum , a flour beetle, an emergent model system and an economically...
Despite their potential to inform sustainable regional harvest and climate‐resilient fisheries management, spatial stock assessment models remain underused for management advice. To identify barriers that inhibit broader use of these methods, we conducted a blinded international simulation experiment mimicking real‐world stock assessment development when confronting spatial complexity. Seven analyst teams built spatially aggre...
How Do Synchrony in Survival and Productivity Influence Abundance Synchrony in European Landbirds?NARA Subscribed
Synchronous fluctuations in species' abundance are influenced by synchrony in underlying rates of productivity and survival. However, it remains unclear how rate synchrony varies in space and time, contributes to abundance synchrony, and differs among species. Using long‐term annual count (number of adults captured), adult survival and productivity (number of juveniles captured per adult) data for breeding land‐birds at ringin...
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...
Aborigine‐managed forest, savanna and grassland: biome switching in montane eastern AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Aim To assess hypotheses about the role of anthropogenic fire in the maintenance and origin of a fine‐scale vegetation mosaic of rain forest, eucalypt savanna and grassland. Location Bunya Mountains, subtropical eastern Australia. Methods A time series of vegetation maps was compiled from historical and recent aerial photography and field surveys. Geospatial models were constructed of environmental domains for rain forest, sav...
