Correcting environmental sampling bias improves transferability of species distribution models

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Sampling bias is an inherent problem in widely available biodiversity data, undermining the robustness of correlative species distribution models (SDMs). To some extent, subsampling occurrence data can account for uneven sampling efforts; yet, conventional approaches subsample in geographical space, while subsampling in environmental space remains ...

Of all shapes and sizes: a theoretical framework for animal‐mediated terrestrial heterogeneity across scales

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Animals redistribute elements throughout their lives by depositing wastes and carcasses. Growing evidence shows that these zoogeochemical processes enhance landscape diversity and heterogeneity worldwide. We provide a descriptive framework for understanding how direct animal depositions (i.e.

The role of amphibian antimicrobial peptides in protection of amphibians from pathogens linked to global amphibian declines

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2009
Amphibian species have experienced population declines and extinctions worldwide that are unprecedented in recent history. Many of these recent declines have been linked to a pathogenic skin fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, or to iridoviruses of the genus Ranavirus.

A Faraday Cage‐Inspired Triboelectric Nanogenerator Enabled by Alloy Powder Architecture for Self‐Powered Ocean Sensing

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A Faraday cage‐inspired triboelectric nanogenerator (FC‐TENG) is developed using a FeCoCrNiAl alloy powder interface that confines electrostatic fields and suppresses charge dissipation. The resulting device achieves high‐voltage output (1276.27 V), strong humidity resistance, and excellent durability, enabling stable energy harvesting in ocean ...

Comparing Transcriptomic Responses to Chemicals Across Six Species Using the EcoToxChip RNASeq Database

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The EcoToxChip project includes RNA‐sequencing data from experiments involving model (Japanese quail, fathead minnow, African clawed frog) and ecological (double‐crested cormorant, rainbow trout, northern leopard frog) species at multiple life stages (whole embryo and adult) exposed to eight chemicals of environmental concern known to perturb ...

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.
