Landscape Features Shape Maternal Genetic Structure of Asian Elephants in Thailand: Insights from mtDNA [PDF]

Biology
Landscape features often shape maternal genetic structure by influencing connectivity. In this study, habitat fragmentation, a major threat to the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), was assessed through an integrated approach involving mitochondrial DNA ...

Breeding for adaptation to climate change: genomic selection for drought response in a white spruce multi‐site polycross test

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
With climate change, increasingly intense and frequent drought episodes will be affecting water availability for boreal tree species, prompting tree breeders and forest managers to consider adaptation to drought stress as a priority in their ...

Occupancy modeling and resampling overcomes low test sensitivity to produce accurate SARS-CoV-2 prevalence estimates

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background We evaluated whether occupancy modeling, an approach developed for detecting rare wildlife species, could overcome inherent accuracy limitations associated with rapid disease tests to generate fast, accurate, and affordable SARS-CoV-2 ...
