Potential for conflict between urban coyotes and people experiencing unsheltered homelessness

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Across North America, both unsheltered homelessness and human–coyote (Canis latrans) conflict are increasing, but the relationship between these phenomena has not been thoroughly explored. We synthesize literature‐based evidence with anecdotal observations that occurred during a 15‐year study of coyotes in Edmonton, Canada, to describe three likely ...

Putative trait‐based retention of oral‐derived microbes along the oral–gut axis in bamboo‐eating pandas

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Compared with the two herbivorous comparison species, pandas showed higher estimated oral‐source contributions and enrichment of microbial traits associated with facultative anaerobiosis, biofilm formation, and stress tolerance. These patterns are consistent with a model in which greater oral microbial input and putative host filtering may jointly ...

Deciphering transcriptome complexity via long‐read sequencing

iMeta, EarlyView.
Long‐read sequencing is transforming transcriptomics from gene‐level quantification to isoform‐resolved interpretation by directly resolving full‐length transcript structures, transcription in repetitive regions, and linked molecular features. This review provides an end‐to‐end roadmap covering sequencing platforms, library preparation strategies ...
