Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Comparison between 16S rRNA and shotgun sequencing in colorectal cancer, advanced colorectal lesions, and healthy human gut microbiota

BMC Genomics
Background Gut dysbiosis has been associated with colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most prevalent cancer in the world. This study compares microbiota taxonomic and abundance results obtained by 16S rRNA gene sequencing (16S) and whole shotgun ...

Depth‐dependent mechanisms regulate accumulation of plant‐ and microbial‐derived residues under long‐term nitrogen addition in a semiarid grassland

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant‐ and microbial‐derived residues constitute the primary sources of soil organic carbon (SOC) in grassland ecosystems. However, their differential responses to chronic nitrogen (N) enrichment and the depth‐dependent mechanisms governing their accumulation remain ...

The evaluation of shotgun sequencing and rpoB metabarcoding for taxonomic profiling of bacterial communities

BMC Microbiology
Background The importance of microbial community profiling has been increasingly recognized in biological and environmental research. While metabarcoding has been widely used for such analysis by targeting specific DNA sequences as markers, shotgun ...

Trade‐offs between surviving and thriving: A careful balance of physiological limitations and reproductive effort under thermal stress

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Balancing survival and reproduction presents a fundamental evolutionary challenge, especially in extreme and unpredictable environments. Thermoregulatory behaviour, in particular, imposes a costly trade‐off, as time spent maintaining optimal body temperature precludes ...
