Multi-layered genome defences in bacteria
(Elsevier, 17 February 2024)Bacteria have evolved a variety of defence mechanisms to protect against mobile genetic elements, including restriction-modification systems and CRISPR-Cas. In recent years, dozens of previously unknown defence systems ... -
Diving into archival data: The hidden decline of the giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus) in Queensland, Australia
(Wiley, 7 February 2024)The giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus) is the largest reef fish in the Indo-Pacific (~2.5 m TL, >400 kg), and it is highly susceptible to overfishing. Despite regional protections and documented population declines, ... -
Calling structural variants with confidence from short-read data in wild bird populations
(Oxford University Press / Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, 15 March 2024)Comprehensive characterisation of structural variation in natural populations has only become feasible in the last decade. To investigate the population genomic nature of structural variation (SV), reproducible and ... -
Plastic pollution transcends marine protected area boundaries in the eastern tropical and south-eastern Pacific
(Elsevier, 20 March 2024)The Eastern Tropical and South-Eastern Pacific region is of global biodiversity importance. At COP26, the governments of Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador committed to the expansion of existing MPAs to create a new ... -
The use of vision modelling to design bycatch reduction devices using light
(Wiley, 27 March 2024)Artificial light can be used to deter unwanted non-target catch (bycatch) from fishing gear, which is thought to be achieved by repelling bycatch, or highlighting escape routes on nets. To select for responses in ...
