Long-term biotic homogenization in the East African Rift System over the last 6 million years of hominin evolution
Eastern Africa preserves the most complete record of human evolution anywhere in the world but we have little knowledge of how long-term...

Spatiotemporal distribution and density of a falconid at an airport offer insights into management plans
Airports can be attractive places for fauna to find food resources, especially for large birds, which can cause severe collisions with aircraft. At...

Aquatic deoxygenation as a planetary boundary and key regulator of Earth system stability
Planetary boundaries represent thresholds in major Earth system processes that are sensitive to human activity and control global-scale habitability...

Socio-economic and environmental trade-offs in Amazonian protected areas and Indigenous territories revealed by assessing competing land uses
Protected area (PA) assessments rarely evaluate socio-economic and environmental impacts relative to competing land uses, limiting understanding of...

Contrasting responses of taxonomic diversity and functional groups of birds to the agricultural landscape of southern Chile
Agricultural landscape heterogeneity, especially the presence of semi-natural habitats, is likely to influence bird diversity positively. In this...

Systemic interindividual DNA methylation variants in cattle share major hallmarks with those in humans
BackgroundWe recently identified ~ 10,000 correlated regions of systemic interindividual epigenetic variation (CoRSIVs) in the human genome. These...

Meta-analysis of six dairy cattle breeds reveals biologically relevant candidate genes for mastitis resistance
BackgroundMastitis is a disease that incurs significant costs in the dairy industry. A promising approach to mitigate its negative effects is to...
