Parsimonious machine learning for the global mapping of aboveground biomass potential

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Advances in computational power and methods, and the widespread availability of remote sensing data have driven the development of machine learning models for estimating global carbon storage. Current models often rely on dozens of predictor variables to estimate aboveground biomass density (AGBD), resulting in accurate but complex models that are ...

Latitudinal patterns and climatic drivers of Laurasian and Gondwanan angiosperm tree distributions in forests of the Americas

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The biogeographic affinity of a lineage leaves imprint on its niche, and influences its distribution under biotic interchange between landmasses. Since the beginning of the Quaternary, North America (a remnant of Laurasia) and South America (a remnant of Gondwana) have been united, and triggered the Great American Biotic Interchange.

If the tape were played again: convergent evolution of clade sizes and taxonomic composition in two tropical assemblages of Coleoptera

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Communities of insects around the world consist of unique sets of species that have evolved under different historical processes of assembly and lineage diversification. Whole‐community phylogenetics can partition the shared and uniquely derived evolutionary history across sites.

Genetic Mapping of Orofacial Traits Reveals a Single Genomic Region Associated With Differences in Multiple Parameters of Jaw Size Between Astyanax mexicanus Surface and Cavefish

open access: yesEvolution &Development, EarlyView.
By performing a genetic association study in cave × surface fish F2 hybrids, we discovered that premaxilla width, dentary length, and maxillary length are all significantly associated with a region on Chromosome 13 containing 109 genes. ABSTRACT The regulation of bone size is a poorly understood and complex developmental process.

Transcriptional response in larvae of the generalist fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua feeding on three different tropical host plants

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated the molecular basis of host switching by the phytophagous West Indian fruit fly (A. obliqua). Third‐instar larvae showed differential gene expression according to host plants: red mombin, mango, and carambola. The main gene categories differentially expressed were digestion, detoxification, and gene regulators.
