Resource Availability and Habitat Quality Drive Time‐Lag Effects in High‐Altitude Ungulate Distribution

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate

Adaptive Stereographic MCMC

open access: yes
In order to tackle the problem of sampling from heavy tailed, high dimensional distributions via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, Yang, Latuszyński, and Roberts (2022) (arXiv:2205.12112) introduces the stereographic projection as a tool to compactify $\mathbb{R}^d$ and transform the problem into sampling from a density on the unit sphere ...

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies of Two Softshell Turtles with ZZ/ZW Provide Insights into TE‐Driven Recombination Suppression in Sex Chromosomes

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study presents the first genomic identification and characterization of ZW sex chromosomes in two soft‐shelled turtle species through genome assembly and resequencing. We reveal the structural organization of ZW chromosomes, identifying both pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) and differentiated regions.

Plant pathogen profiling with the EpiPvr package

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a flexible framework for epidemiological profiling of insect‐borne plant pathogens (IBPPs), utilising readily available experimental data. The framework is applicable to most IBPPs transmitted by insects feeding on plant veins, with particular relevance to whitefly‐borne viruses that impact cassava production in sub ...

Estimating spatiotemporal reproductive dynamics of fish populations with passive acoustic monitoring: A state‐space model approach

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has been used to estimate the presence and spatial distribution of target organisms using biological sounds received by microphones. Due to its cost‐effectiveness and non‐invasiveness, PAM is becoming a promising approach for studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of large groups in response to environmental ...

A dynamic multi‐scale occupancy model to estimate trends in habitat use in spatially and temporally complex systems

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence is often influenced by changes in environmental conditions at multiple spatial and temporal scales working simultaneously in a hierarchical fashion. While previous dynamic multi‐scale occupancy modelling frameworks address dynamics at multiple spatial scales, they assume both large‐scale and small‐scale units are closed ...

Addressing ecological challenges from a quantum computing perspective

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract With increased access to data and the advent of computers, the use of statistical tools and numerical simulations is becoming commonplace for ecologists. These approaches help improve our understanding of ecological phenomena and their underlying mechanisms in increasingly complex environments.
