Protocol for integrative transcriptomic/metabolomic analysis: A case study on factors influencing the oyster-POMS disease

Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying complex biological interactions requires comprehensive approaches that capture these interactions across multiple regulatory and functional levels. Here, we present a protocol applied to the host-pathogen-environment interactions un...

A memory of Paleozoic to Quaternary Greenhouse climates recorded in Southern African regolith

Abstract In this article, we explore the potential of iron-rich duricrust regoliths from old erosional anorogenic surfaces to record clues of the long-term continental paleoclimatic evolution. We coupled geochemical, mineralogical and geochronological analyses on iron oxides and...

Optimising bat-friendly curtailment algorithms for wind turbines

Wind turbines worldwide cause high mortality in long-lived bats through collisions. To mitigate these impacts, operators commonly apply blanket curtailment by stopping turbine blades under low wind speed and mild temperature, when bat activity is often high and energy production...

A 45-year high-resolution wave hindcast for the Fijian archipelago: mean climate, spectral characteristics, and long-term trends

Fiji’s coastal communities are highly exposed to ocean waves that drive erosion, inundation and shoreline change. Yet the Fijian archipelago lacks a comprehensive, wave-climate assessment at a resolution that represents island effects appropriately. To address this gap, we presen...

Using Bayesian test relationship between categorical random variables on small sample sizes: application on the relationship between the weight status of parents and their children in understudied populations living in Pacific Island countries and territories

Background Within the traditional frequentist framework, the emphasis is often on reporting the p-value. Obtaining significant results is infrequent in small sample size contexts, implying a major concern when reporting results in scientific research because rejecting the null hy...

Identification of living (Rose Bengal)-stained benthic foraminifera using automated image recognition

Abstract. Living and fossil benthic foraminifera are widely used as bioindicators of ecosystem quality, but their analysis is time-consuming. With the help of artificial intelligence, models for the automatic identification of fossil planktonic foraminifera and, more recently, be...
