Variation in estimates of the footprint of large, ground-mounted photovoltaic solar energy in the United States and its associated land-cover change across three datasets Open
Solar energy contributed more than six percent of the United States' (US) energy generation capacity in 2022, predominantly from large, ground-mounted photovoltaic solar facilities (GPVs). That proportion is expected to increase as GPV dev…

Estimating waiting distances between genealogy changes under a Multi-Species Extension of the Sequentially Markov Coalescent Open
Genomes are composed of a mosaic of segments inherited from different ancestors, each separated by past recombination events. Consequently, genealogical relationships among multiple genomes vary spatially across different genomic regions. …

High-throughput iNaturalist image analysis reveals flower color divergence in <i>Monarda fistulosa</i> Open
Characterizing patterns of trait variation across widespread species is a fundamental goal of natural history. Here we create a pipeline to analyze a large community science dataset and test hypothesized flower color divergence across the …

A massive community-science flower color dataset reveals convergent evolution of delayed flowering phenology in North American red-flowering plants Open
The radiation of angiosperms is marked by a phenomenal diversity of floral size, shape, color, scent, and reward. Through hundreds of years of documentation and quantification scientists have sought to make sense of this variation by defin…

Solar Energy-driven Land-cover Change Could Alter Landscapes Critical to Animal Movement in the Continental United States Open
The United States may produce as much as 45% of its electricity using solar energy technology by 2050, which could require more than 40,000 km2 of land to be converted to large-scale solar energy production facilities. Little is…

Is the radial growth of irrigated urban trees more strongly correlated to light and temperature than water? Open
Background Real-time monitoring of tree growth can provide novel information about trees in urban/suburban areas and the myriad ecosystem services they provide. By monitoring irrigated specimen trees we test the hypothesis that in trees wi…

The Multispecies Coalescent in Space and Time Open
A key distinction between species tree inference under the multi-species coalescent model (MSC), and the inference of gene trees in sliding windows along a genome, is in the effect of genetic linkage. Whereas the MSC explicitly assumes gen…

Glass half empty? Lessons learned about gastroparesis Open
Gastroparesis is defined as a combination of chronic dyspeptic symptoms and delayed emptying of a solid test meal. It remains a difficult-to-treat disorder with a significant impact on quality of life. Although gastroparesis is defined by …
