The giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) of California are massive, long-lived trees that grow along the U.S. Sierra Nevada mountains. Genomic data limited in and producing a reference genome sequence has been an important goal to allow marker development for restoration management. Using deep-coverage Illumina Oxford Nanopore sequencing, combined with Dovetail chromosome conformation capture libraries, was assembled into eleven chromosome-scale scaffolds containing 8.125 Gbp sequence....
ABSTRACT Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing dataset intended for tracking spatial and temporal responses mammal populations to changes in land use, cover climate. These data will be useful exploring drivers relative abundance distribution, as well impacts species interactions on daily activity patterns. Main Types Variables Contained 2019–2023 contains 987,979 records image sequence 9694 deployment...
Environmental risk assessment of pharmaceuticals requires the determination their environmental exposure concentrations. Existing modeling approaches are often computationally demanding, require extensive data collection and processing efforts, have a limited spatial resolution, undergone evaluation against monitoring data. Here, we present ePiE (exposure to Pharmaceuticals in Environment), spatially explicit model calculating concentrations active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) surface...
Leaf hydraulic conductance (kleaf) is a central element in the regulation of leaf water balance but properties kleaf remain uncertain. Here, evidence for following two models well-hydrated plants evaluated: (i) constant or (ii) increases as transpiration rate (E) increases. The difference between stem and potential (ΔΨstem–leaf), stomatal (gs), kleaf, E over diurnal cycle three angiosperm gymnosperm tree species growing common garden, Helianthus annuus grown under sub-ambient, ambient,...
Abstract Sequencing, assembly, and annotation of the 26.5 Gbp hexaploid genome coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) was completed leading toward discovery genes related to climate adaptation investigation origin genome. Deep-coverage short-read Illumina sequencing data from haploid tissue a single seed were combined with long-read Oxford Nanopore Technologies diploid needle create an initial which then scaffolded using proximity ligation produce highly contiguous final SESE 2.1, scaffold N50...
Prioritization methodologies are often used for identifying those pharmaceuticals that pose the greatest risk to natural environment and focus laboratory testing or environmental monitoring toward of concern. Risk-based prioritization approaches, employing models derive exposure concentrations, commonly used, but reliability these is unclear. The present study evaluated accuracy pharmaceutical prioritization. Targeted was conducted 95 in Rivers Foss Ouse City York (UK). Predicted...
Abstract As is the case with other STEM disciplines, a consistent challenge within electrical and computer engineering (ECE) increasing enrollment matriculation of people from under-served underrepresented communities. Though there have been numerous initiatives throughout years, ECE undergraduate education still struggles compositional diversity. Part addressing diversity (in addition to equity inclusion) understanding importance factors such as sense belonging, identity, representation...
Geopolitical boundaries can present challenges to wildlife conservation because of varying environmental regulations, and increasingly, the existence border barriers. As 2024, approximately 1,023 km walls (i.e., steel bollard 5.5-9.1 m tall with interstitial spaces ≤10 cm) 169 vehicle barriers variable structures designed stop vehicles but not pedestrians) exist along USA-Mexico border. Some small passages (21.5 x 27.8 were installed in few other accommodations for connectivity exist. such,...
Abstract There is growing interest in the environmental safety of ultraviolet (UV) filters found cosmetic and personal care products (CPCPs). The CPCP industry assessing appropriate risk assessment (ERA) methods to conduct robust assessments for these ingredients. Relevant reliable data are needed ERA, particularly when supporting regulatory decision‐making. In present study, we apply a evaluation approach incorporate nonstandard toxicity into ERA process through an expanded range...
ABSTRACT The giant sequoia ( Sequoiadendron giganteum ) of California are massive, long-lived trees that grow along the U.S. Sierra Nevada mountains. As they primarily in isolated groves within a narrow range, conservation existing has been national goal for over 150 years. Genomic data limited sequoia, and assembly annotation first genome an important to allow marker development restoration management. Using Illumina Oxford Nanopore sequencing combined with Dovetail chromosome conformation...
The understory of California's coast redwood forests boasts an abundance ferns, half which are drought deciduous. Despite their ecological importance, little is known about the functional differences between deciduous and perennial ferns. This study explored morphological physiological leaf traits assortment forest fern species sampled from southern, drier extent ecosystem, to determine if less tolerant than co-occurring evergreen because shorter lifespan. In mid-summer, all ferns were well...
