Differences in bird and bat traits, seed-dispersal interactions and functions between tropical montane forest and bracken-dominated areas

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Most tropical plant species depend on animals to disperse their seeds. Seed dispersal by animals allows plants to colonize new sites in deforested habitats helping to accelerate forest recovery.

Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences

Interannual dynamic resource selection patterns of the northern bobwhite in a region with poor edaphic conditions

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding an organism's shifting resource needs throughout its life cycle is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies. Northern bobwhite Colinus virginianus populations have been declining for nearly a century due largely to habitat loss/degradation.

Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

HAYSTAC: A Bayesian framework for robust and rapid species identification in high-throughput sequencing data.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2022
Identification of specific species in metagenomic samples is critical for several key applications, yet many tools available require large computational power and are often prone to false positive identifications.

Universities as the Next Counterintelligence Battleground in Geopolitical Contests

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, universities are increasingly becoming the target of foreign national security actors, engaging in espionage, sabotage, foreign interference and intellectual property theft. Despite that, there has been no examination of the utilisation of counterintelligence approaches by universities to the threats they face from the subordination ...

Improving Medication Safety Following Neonatal Discharge: A Feasibility Study of a Parent Medication Education Intervention in Ireland

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Neonates discharged home on medications remain at risk of medication errors. The PADDINGToN programme previously developed parent co‐designed resources to support safer medication administration following discharge. The aim of this study, PADDINGToN‐2, is to evaluate the feasibility of recruiting and retaining parents in a study assessing ...

Cross-species oncogenomics offers insight into human muscle-invasive bladder cancer

Genome Biology, 2023
Background In humans, muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is highly aggressive and associated with a poor prognosis. With a high mutation load and large number of altered genes, strategies to delineate key driver events are necessary.

New aspects to the diet of the Neolithic Tyrolean Iceman “Ötzi“

Journal of Biological Research, 2021
Three surgical interventions on the Tyrolean Iceman “Ötzi” conducted in 1995, 1997 and 2000 resulted in the collection of five ingesta samples. These samples constitute a sequence from different consecutive locations of the intestinal tract: the ileum ...
