Expanded application to plant reproductive tissues of a branched DNA probe‐based in situ hybridization method

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Detecting introgression from phylogenetic invariant site patterns using machine learning

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Detecting historical introgression among populations or species from genomic data is a common goal in evolutionary genetics. Most current methods fall into two major categories: network inference and admixture inference. Network inference (e.g., SNaQ) is computationally challenging and typically requires first reducing large genomic ...

National-Scale Terrestrial Biodiversity and Ecosystem Monitoring with Essential Biodiversity Variables in Japan and Finland

Ecological Research
Essential biodiversity variables (EBVs) have emerged as a crucial tool for monitoring biodiversity change and provide a framework for standardized and integrated data that align with national and global conservation targets. While EBVs have static definitions, they offer flexibility in data products, allowing regions to develop unique implementation ...

Capturing the dimensions of coral reef biodiversity

Ecological Indicators
Biodiversity is inherently multidimensional, combining information on the numbers, abundances, taxonomy, and traits of species. Quantifying biodiversity with finite sets of metrics is an ongoing challenge, relying on essential variables with high ...

Leveraging target enrichment and genome skimming (Hyb‐Seq) of herbarium collections to unlock timber DNA barcoding

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise DNA barcoding for timber species identification requires comprehensive reference datasets, informative DNA barcodes, and cost‐effective protocols. We developed a workflow leveraging Hyb‐Seq (target capture sequencing and genome skimming) to address these challenges, and we tested it on four genera from the mahogany family (Meliaceae ...

Non‐Invasive eDNA Reveals the Ecological and Genetic Status of the Western Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus aquitanicus) in the Eastern Pyrenees

Environmental DNA
Environmental changes and human activities in the Anthropocene era are likely to alter population size, structure, and genetic diversity of many species. Long‐term monitoring is therefore essential to assess these impacts and enable informed conservation

Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.
