Preliminary genetic barcodes for ash (Fraxinus) species and generation of new wide hybrids
Societal Impact Statement The world‐wide diversity of ash trees includes genetic information encoding resistance to the ash dieback fungus and the emerald ash borer beetle, which are currently devastating ash populations in Europe and North America. In order to mobilise this genetic diversity in conventional breeding programmes, we need to be able to ...

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen
We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

Amphibians and Reptiles of United States Department of Defense Installations [PDF]
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) occupies approximately 10.1 million ha of land within the U.S. spanning most ecosystems contained therein. To date, no comprehensive agency-wide inventory of amphibian and reptile species has been compiled.

Schematic diagram of the single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a/13a diagnostic assays for the detection of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii and Maize dwarf mosaic virus. The validated assays provide a useful and sensitive molecular tool for detecting two quarantine pathogens of maize within a minimal resource framework suitable for fast‐tracking the ...

ABSTRACT Today, salmonid management is largely based on river restoration. One of the fundamental elements is the creation of functional spawning sites. Key values of sedimentological characteristics must be defined in terms of granulometry, permeability, and oxygen concentration to ensure the best possible success of the operations.

Analytical models were developed that simulate stable isotope ratios of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) near a point source contamination in the unsaturated zone. The models describe diffusive transport of VOCs, biodegradation and source ageing.

HOWLish: a CNN for automated wolf howl detection
Automated detection of wolf howls presents a great opportunity for large‐scale passive acoustic monitoring of wolf populations. Here we present HOWLish, a CNN trained for automated wolf howl detection, based on thousands of hours of soundscapes recorded in the wild.

A densely sampled nuclear phylogenomic analysis of the coryphoid palms (Arecaceae: Coryphoideae)
Abstract The palm family (Arecaceae) has a rich history of phylogenetic research, including several recent phylogenomic studies. However, densely sampled phylogenomic datasets for larger palm clades – such as subfamilies – are still few in number. We used target sequence capture to obtain data for 971 nuclear genes across 421 (ca.
