Understanding the evolutionary consequences of anthropogenic change is imperative for estimating long-term species resilience. While contemporary genomic data can provide us with important insights into recent demographic histories, investigating past using present alone has limitations. In comparison, temporal genomics studies, defined herein as those that incorporate time series data, utilize museum collections and repeated field sampling to directly examine change. As applied more...
Dispersal drives diverse processes from population persistence to community dynamics. However, the amount of temporal variation in dispersal and its consequences for metapopulation dynamics is largely unknown organisms with environmentally driven (e.g., many marine larvae, arthropods plant seeds). Here, we used genetic parentage analysis detect larval events a common coral reef fish, Amphiprion clarkii, along 30 km coastline consisting 19 patches Ormoc Bay, Leyte, Philippines. We quantified...
Abstract Integration of human genomics and other omics across different ancestries provides novel, affordable, systematic approach for target identification. We used Mendelian randomization approaches to unravel causal associations between 2,940 circulating proteins 19 CVD. found 218 that impacted risk one or more CVDs through forward MR (106 182 using cis‐pQTLs only cis‐ + trans‐pQTLs, respectively), among which 107 were previously reported as associated with CVD CVD‐related traits. There...
Abstract Determining metapopulation persistence requires understanding both demographic rates and patch connectivity. Persistence is well understood in theory but has proved challenging to test empirically for marine other species with high connectivity that precludes classic colonisation–extinction dynamics. Here, we assessed a yellowtail anemonefish ( Amphiprion clarkii ) using 7 years of annual sampling data along 30 km coastline. We carefully accounted uncertainty rates. Despite stable...
Abstract Dispersal drives diverse processes from population persistence to community dynamics. However, the amount of temporal variation in dispersal and its consequences for metapopulation dynamics is largely unknown organisms with environmentally driven (e.g., many marine larvae, arthropods, plant seeds). Here, we quantify kernel across seven years monsoon seasons a common coral reef fish, Amphiprion clarkii , using genetic parentage assignments. Connectivity patterns varied strongly among...
Patterns of population connectivity shape ecological and evolutionary phenomena from persistence to local adaptation can inform conservation strategy. Connectivity patterns emerge the interaction individual behavior with a complex heterogeneous environment. Despite ample observation that dispersal vary through time, extent which variation in physical environment explain emergent is not clear. Empirical studies its contribution promise illuminate potential source variability shapes dynamics...
Recent research has revealed the diversity and biomass of life across ecosystems, but how that is distributed body sizes all living things remains unclear. We compile present-day global size-biomass spectra for terrestrial, marine, subterranean realms. To achieve this compilation, we pair existing updated estimates with previously uncatalogued size ranges free-living biological groups. These data show many groups share similar sizes, no single group dominates where cumulative highest. then...
Abstract Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, while a lack clarity on underlying mechanisms has hindered development novel therapies. Integration human genetics and proteomics across different ancestries can provide novel, affordable, systematic approach for target identification prioritization. Methods Mendelian randomization was applied to unravel causal associations between 2,940 circulating proteins 21 CVD. Genome-wide summary statistics...
Abstract Recent research provides an unprecedented account of the diversity and biomass life, but data also suggest unexplained patterns such as co-dominance very different life forms. We compile planetary body size spectrum across all taxa investigate possible underlying forces. find that small (10-14 g) large (106 organisms vastly outweigh other sizes. The global reveals allometric power exponent close to zero, with marine in particular showing multiple closely packed modes are compatible...
Abstract Recent research has revealed the diversity and biomass of life on Earth, but how that is distributed across body sizes remains unclear. We compile present-day global size-biomass spectra for terrestrial, marine, subterranean realms. To achieve this compilation, we pair estimates with previously uncatalogued size ranges all free-living biological groups. These data show diverse organism types converge similar overall minimum maximum sizes. then propagate uncertainties provide...
