Annotated genome assemblies of two temperate North American dung beetles, Canthon chalcites and Phanaeus vindex

Dung beetles serve as cultivators of their natural habitats, improving soil health and functions in both natural and anthropogenic environments. Despite their ecological importance, whole genome sequences for Scarabaeinae are limited. Here, we present the draft annotated genome a...

AI Agents, Data Power, and the Ideological Horizon of AGI

The global technology industry has converged on a narrative framing AI agents—systems capable of autonomous, multi-step task execution—as progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). This article argues that this narrative primarily serves an ideological function. First...

On‐Farm Demonstration and Economic Evaluation of an IoT Sensing System for Irrigation Management in South Carolina

ABSTRACT Irrigation can strongly influence agricultural productivity and sustainability. While sensor‐based irrigation has the potential to improve yield, reduce input costs and enhance resource‐use efficiency, its adoption in commercial agriculture remains limited. This study ev...
