Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Caribou forage lichens were present in post‐burn lodgepole pine stands multiple decades before stem‐density was likely open enough to attract wintering caribou. We posit that the prolonged self‐thinning of lodgepole pine after fire may be a greater limiting factor than lichen abundance for habitat recovery in lodgepole pine forests.

Northern bobwhites associated with native grass and shrubs have improved survival
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Survival rates of adult northern bobwhites were improved by a combination of grazed native warm‐season grasses and well‐interspersed shrubs. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands conservation strategy to create habitat ...

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.Abstract Objective To quantify the cumulative number of images needed to scan (NNS) with preoperative high‐resolution temporal bone computed tomography (HR‐TBCT) to yield a change in management in patients undergoing primary stapes surgery for otosclerosis‐related hearing loss. Study Design Retrospective cohort.

Coverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richness
Oikos, EarlyView.Coverage‐based rarefaction (CBR) is a high‐profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good‐Turing index u to interpolate. In contrast to alternatives such as the Shannon and Simpson indices, CBR's main appeal is providing values in units of species. CBR is tested against a series of other

Cereal leaf beetle standardized survey methods
, 2001 These standardized survey methods were designed by the Western Cereal Leaf Beetle Working Group (WCLBWG) in the spring of 2001. The WCLBWG serves as an informal scientific forum and regional partnership to foster the exchange information pertaining to ...

Use of native animal dung by an introduced species of dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis)
Non-indigenous dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) species in North America are important contributors to ecosystem functions, particularly in pasture-based livestock systems.

Oikos, EarlyView.To understand the structuring of species assemblages, integrating life‐history traits and evolutionary heritage in analyses is vital. This allows the assessment of a mechanistic link between species and their environment. Deadwood systems are vital for nutrient cycling and biodiversity support, governed by complex intra‐ and inter‐specific fungal and ...
