A chromosome-level genome assembly of the highly heterozygous sea urchin Echinometra sp. EZ reveals adaptation in the regulatory regions of stress response genes
- Genome Biology and Evolution
on Sep 26, 2022
Abstract Echinometra is the most widespread genus of sea urchin and has been the focus of a wide range of studies in ecology, speciation, and reproduction. However, available genetic data for this genus are generally limited to a few s... Read More
Thysanoptera as predators: their diversity and significance as biological control agents
- Pest Management Science
on Sep 26, 2022
Some species of thrips have evolved predatory behaviours, with their reported prey range including thrips, mites, scale-insects, whitefly, psyllid nymphs, and eggs of moths and beetles. However, our current understanding of the biology and potential ... Read More

Male genital organs of the black‐crowned dwarf marmoset ( Callibella humilis )
- Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia
on Sep 26, 2022
This study provides the first morphological description of the male genital organs of black-crowned dwarf marmoset (Callibella humilis). Internal and external genital organs were similar to other species of non-human primates. However, some shape and... Read More
Exploring the Effects of Perceived Stress on the Within-Person Relationships Between Daily Activity Levels and Sleep in Women: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study
- International Journal of Behavioral Medicine
on Sep 26, 2022
Many studies show positive bidirectional associations between physical activity (PA) and sleep at the between-person level. There is an increased interest in investigating these associations at the within-person level. Few studies examined the effect... Read More
Incidence of childhood leukaemia before and after shut down of nuclear power plants in Germany in 2011: A population‐based register study during 2004‐2019
- International Journal of Cancer
on Sep 26, 2022
The association between leukaemia and proximity to nuclear-power-plants (NPPs) has been assessed in several countries with inconsistent results. A case-control study from Germany had shown an increased risk for childhood leukaemia (diagnoses 1980-200... Read More
Author response: Occupation and SARS-CoV-2 infection risk among workers during the first pandemic wave in Germany: potential for bias
- Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health
on Sep 25, 2022
We thank van Tongeren et al for responding to our study on occupational disparities in SARS-CoV-2 infection risks during the first pandemic wave in Germany (1). The authors address the potential for bias resulting from differential testing between oc... Read More

Unraveling the Drifting Larval Fish Community in a Large Spawning Ground in the Middle Pearl River Using DNA Barcoding
- Animals
- VOL. 12
on Sep 24, 2022
Resolving the species composition of a larval pool in a spawning ground can provide novel insights into regional fish stocks and can support the development of effective monitoring and conservation policies. However, it is challenging to identify fis... Read More
Long-Term Performance Evaluation of the Latest Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation (MSWEP) over the Highlands of Indo-Pak (1981–2009)
- Remote Sensing
- VOL. 14
on Sep 24, 2022
The paucity of in-situ records, particularly in the glaciated mountainous region, is an obstacle in cryosphere ecology and environmental studies. Generally, available gauge station data is fragmented and covers valleys; thus, the use of gridded preci... Read More

The Link between Food Environment and Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review
- Nutrients
- VOL. 14
on Sep 23, 2022
Food and diet are critical risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). Food environments (FEs) can contribute to disease risk, including CRC. This review investigated the link between FEs and CRC incidence and mortality risk. The systematic search of s... Read More
MicrobiomeCensus estimates human population sizes from wastewater samples based on inter-individual variability in gut microbiomes
- PLOS Computational Biology
- VOL. 18
on Sep 23, 2022
The metagenome embedded in urban sewage is an attractive new data source to understand urban ecology and assess human health status at scales beyond a single host. Analyzing the viral fraction of wastewater in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shown ... Read More
Applied Studies of Raptor Sensory Ecology are Rare
- Journal of Raptor Research
- VOL. 56
on Sep 22, 2022
Abstract Light and noise often act as pollutants, but can also be used as tools for managing wildlife (e.g., sensory deterrents). Given that raptors are among the most threatened groups of birds, we expected there to be a moderate amou... Read More
Broad-Winged Hawk Size Varies by Sex and Latitude in North America
- Journal of Raptor Research
- VOL. 56
on Sep 22, 2022
Abstract Divergent life histories by sex are common within species of birds; thus, the ability to accurately determine sex is essential in many studies of avian ecology and can possibly lead to more effective conservation strategies. H... Read More
Direct habitat descriptors improve the understanding of the organization of fish and macroinvertebrate communities across a large catchment
- PLOS ONE
- VOL. 17
on Sep 22, 2022
In large-scale aquatic ecological studies, direct habitat descriptors (e.g. water temperature, hydraulics in river reaches) are often approximated by coarse-grain surrogates (e.g. air temperature, discharge respectively) since they are easier to meas... Read More
