Divergence and serial colonization shape genetic variation and define conservation units in Asian elephants Open
Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are the largest extant terrestrial megaherbivores native to Asia, with 60% of their wild population found in India. Despite ecological and cultural importance, their population genetic structure and divers…
The last stand: Demographic and population genomic analysis reveals terminal endangerment in tropical timber species <i>Vatica guangxiensis</i> Open
Tropical and subtropical trees provide key ecosystem services but are facing global population decline due to logging, habitat degradation, land conversion, and climate change. Vatica guangxiensis used to be a characteristic timber species…

Identification of distinct rodent-associated adenovirus lineages from a mixed-use landscape in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot Open
Shifts in land-use patterns and increased human-livestock-wildlife interactions have generated numerous possibilities for pathogen spillover. This demands increased efforts of pathogen surveillance in wildlife, especially in changing lands…
Hybrid <i>de novo</i> genome assembly of the sexually dimorphic Lady Amherst’s pheasant Open
Pheasants are an important group of birds, valued for their economic benefit as poultry birds, game birds, and as ornamental species for their plumage. Lady Amherst’s pheasant Chrysolophus amherstiae is an ornamental species, valued for it…
A comprehensive review of microbial contamination in the indoor environment: sources, sampling, health risks, and mitigation strategies Open
The quality of the indoor environment significantly impacts human health and productivity, especially given the amount of time individuals spend indoors globally. While chemical pollutants have been a focus of indoor air quality research, …
Serial colonization shapes genetic variation and defines conservation units in Asian elephants Open
Asian elephants ( Elephas maximus ) are the largest extant terrestrial megaherbivores native to Asia, with 60% of their wild population found in India. Despite ecological and cultural importance, their population genetic structure and dive…
Megafaunal extinctions, not climate change, may explain Holocene genetic diversity declines in Numenius shorebirds Open
Understanding the relative contributions of historical and anthropogenic factors to declines in genetic diversity is important for informing conservation action. Using genome-wide DNA of fresh and historic specimens, including that of two …

Genomic Insights Into the Evolution and Demographic History of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant: Population Genomics Approach Open
Background A thorough understanding of the patterns of genetic subdivision in a pathogen can provide crucial information that is necessary to prevent disease spread. For SARS-CoV-2, the availability of millions of genomes makes this task a…
Caching HTTP 404 Responses Eliminates Unnecessary Archival Replay Requests Open
Upon replay, JavaScript on archived web pages can generate recurring HTTP requests that lead to unnecessary traffic to the web archive. In one example, an archived page averaged more than 1000 requests per minute. These requests are not vi…

Genome‐wide <span>SNPs</span> confirm plumage polymorphism and hybridisation within a <i>Cyornis</i> flycatcher species complex Open
Morphology has been a leading taxonomic guiding light to systematists for the last couple of hundred years. However, the genetic and – more recently – genomic revolution have produced numerous demonstrations of erroneous classifications th…
Robots Still Outnumber Humans in Web Archives, But Less Than Before Open
To identify robots and humans and analyze their respective access patterns, we used the Internet Archive's (IA) Wayback Machine access logs from 2012 and 2019, as well as Arquivo.pt's (Portuguese Web Archive) access logs from 2019. We iden…
Genomic Insights Into the Evolution and Demographic History of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant: Population Genomics Approach (Preprint) Open

Clinical Characteristics, Risk Factors, and Outcomes Among a Large Midwestern U.S. Cohort of Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19 Prior to Vaccine Availability Open
Results indicate that, over the pandemic's first 10 months, COVID-19 carried a heavy burden of morbidity and mortality in older patients (>65 years), males, Hispanics, and those with bacterial co-infections and chronic comorbidities. Altho…
Island Biogeography Revisited: Museomics Reveals Affinities of Shelf Island Birds Determined by Bathymetry and Paleo-Rivers, Not by Distance to Mainland Open
Island biogeography is one of the most powerful subdisciplines of ecology: its mathematical predictions that island size and distance to mainland determine diversity have withstood the test of time. A key question is whether these predicti…
Replaying Archived Twitter: When your bird is broken, will it bring you down? Open
Historians and researchers trust web archives to preserve social media content that no longer exists on the live web. However, what we see on the live web and how it is replayed in the archive are not always the same. In this paper, we doc…
